Making this video was EYE-OPENING. It's hard doing the frequency measurement with the stopwatch right? Do you look at the stop watch? Do you look at the tank!? Nightmare. I give you a maths tip here to get round that error heavy timing.

Let me know how you do it!

World book day 📖 🐛

Walked Ada to school and we had a quick primer on space travel and gravity 🕺🏼 every morning should be this cool.

“Rudy, what face would you pull to represent mankind on a space mission?” 😅 lord help us…

Tea time AI talk… my favourite memory of my time as a #Physics UG is staying up till the early hours, trying to tackle the impossible questions on a problem set. Finally landing the right approach and answer is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling feelings, and I worry that students… 🧵
