Dr. Becky | Nobel Prize Predictions - Physics 2023 #shorts @DrBecky | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 9 minutes ago
The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2023 is set to be announced on Tuesday 3rd October. The Nobel Prize is notoriously difficult to predict, but let’s have a go anyway. Will astrophysics see another prize? Or will nuclear physics get the prize after a decade of being overlooked after the breakthrough in nuclear fusion at the end of 2022? Or will the Nobel Prize follow the Wolf Prize and award it to attosecond physics watching the movement of electrons in real time? We’ll have to wait and see…
👩🏽💻 I’m Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don’t know. If you’ve ever wondered about something in space and couldn’t find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
