The people that inspire me to do physics Continued!

I thought I'd continue with adding more people who inspire me to do physics these two guys are actually connected as one inspired the other.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, I have seen him in documentaries, on youtube and I follow him on twitter. He has a great passion for astrophysics that you can't help to be caught up in.


The next guy is Carl Sagan! How can you not be inspired by him? I remember when a friend first showed me the pale blue dot video on youtube, it blew my mind!

How much would you pay for the universe?

Well I was going to write a post of the end of an era with the last shuttle fight of the Atlantis. But then I remembered this video I found a while ago and this says everything that needs to be said not that I'm American (as many of his points are based towards Americans and there pride as a nation) but it's still a sad day for space exploration none the less.

Lies, damned lies and statistics

Interesting ted talk on making the optimum ted talk :)

Check this out! a new hero of mine!

Check this out it seems pretty elegant way of explaining the world lets see if those particles are found. Plus the guy has epic life style.
Check it out!

Watch this and just think

This is a truly inspiring video!

The people that inspired me to do physics!

I remember on night half asleep going downstairs to get a drink/some food and I put the TV. Just for background noise (as I still often do!) anyway it turned out that NOVA:The elegant universe happened to be on -a program based on the book with the same title by Brian Greene. Hosted by the man himself, but there where also many other physicists on show, I later brought the book. Before I realized I had watched the whole show, it explained everything so beautifully. It was defiantly that show that first sparked my interest in physics. So i'd have to say that Brian Greene is one of the people that inspired me.

Another person has to be Michio Kaku. On the way back from a holiday I had some money left over and I wanted something to read on the trip back home. I happened across Parallel Worlds at first I didn't really like it. So it lay on my bookshelf for a couple of years. Then over one summer, bored I picked it back up and started to read and was absorbed into a tale of time travel, black holes and warp drives.
That's all for now thanks for reading.
