Dr. Jorge S. Diaz

Happy to receive a honorable mention in #SoME3 for my video about the math of saving the Enola Gay. This event was the catalyst of my newly launched YouTube channel. Thanks @3blue1brown for the great opportunity for so many new creators of math and physics content

FYI: I moved to @bluesky, I am now posting at jsdiaz.bsky.social

@CatAstro_Piyush your notes look amazingly organized! Thanks so much for sharing this, it is really fulfilling to see that my videos can be of any interest and help understanding less standard topics in physics. I am no longer active here but you can find on #Bluesky bsky.app/profile/jsdiaz…

learnt about the neutron diffusion equation. amazing video by @jsdiaz_ m.youtube.com/watch?v=DIuoFA…

@nohumorallowed thanks for your kind comment, I am glad you liked the video. I just posted a new one. Just in case, I am migrating to BlueSky

@jsdiaz_ Thoroughly enjoyed this video and watched it multiple times to enjoy the history and beauty of it all.

new video: "Discovery of spin... but missed." The Stern-Gerlach experiment revealed the existence of spin but this discovery was missed due to a collection of coincidences and fortuitous mathematical cancellations youtu.be/_0zX8tL-Rak #JK0

new video: "This is how the wave-particle duality of light was discovered." Story of Einstein's formula showing that energy fluctuations of light are the sum of waves and particles. youtu.be/f7JvywBOGYY #JK0

@nbody6 se gradece la difusión por allá, y que no olviden subscribirse :)

@nbody6 Gracias por compartir, no tenía idea. Hace unas semanas me enteré que uno de mis videos aparece citado en un libro; depués alguien me escribió contando que ven mis videos en un curso de ingeniería en Canadá; ahora esto. Estoy por las nubes con la recepción que ha tenido mi hobby

@marcel_hussing dude! now the Nobel Prize in Chemistry??? dafuq, man, please don't tell me that ChatGPT will get the Nobel Prize in Literature

@jsdiaz_ So it seems 🤔 I swear I had nothing to do with it

@marcel_hussing so are you guys invading the Nobel Prize now?! :D

@biophilo @NobelPrize Max von Laue got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1914 for the we work that he published in 1912. Not sure if there is anything shorter than that.

@NobelPrize As I got no answer, I did Google it, and the answer is no, but it's maybe in top 3/5 (for science)?

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

@marcel_hussing I respect what these people did but giving them the Nobel Prize in Physics is like giving the Turing Award to a pair of physicists

@teppeikatori when did you get kittens?!!!! They are so lovely!

Our kittens really like my backup (it’s warm). My knowledge of science has never been so useful before 🥰

@AllenDowney the guy from Think Bayes

When you think about the intersection of Python and statistics education, who comes to mind?

@DominatingAmani @A_J_Higgins photovoltaic production of electricity is a wonderful method to move away from steam and turbines; however, their environmental impact is ignored and most people only focus on how cheap solar panels are. I very much prefer nuclear kettles, they are closer to to the optimum.

@jsdiaz_ @A_J_Higgins Sir what's your take on solar energy?

new video: "This experiment confirmed quantum physics." The Stern-Gerlach experiment had nothing to do with spin and it provided unquestionable evidence of quantum behavior in atomic physics youtu.be/BDAzFIJu9_E #JK0

@HadrienKerkhof thanks, I am glad you liked it.

new video: "The fine structure of the atom." Development of the Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model, which extended Bohr's model by incorporating elliptical orbits and relativistic corrections, in addition to introducing the fine-structure constant. youtu.be/H4ZnVpiQTDw #JK0

@teppeikatori @DUNEScience @ImperialHEP physics needs more Bayesian statistics

It’s always amazing to share the moment of the birth of a new PhD, congrats Dr Liban! The first Bayesian analysis of @DUNEscience neutrino oscillation sensitivity. @ImperialHEP

new video: "This experiment confirmed quantum energy levels." How the Franck-Hertz experiment provided the first direct evidence of quantized energy levels in atoms, confirming key aspects of Niels Bohr's atomic model youtu.be/MCJl3-pHGuU #JK0

New video: "Connecting classical and quantum physics." How does classical physics emerge from quantum physics? Bohr's Correspondence Principle ensures the smooth transition between classical and quantum physics. youtu.be/PpuUeL2WvjM #JK0
