Oh man! It annoys me that there are so many experiments I can't do at home!

[Alexander_Sannikov]

I love it how physics educators explain particle spin:
"so you know how a spinning top can spin? yeah, exactly, so this is not like that."

Unscripted Dianna explains ‘stuff’. More of this please.

[michaellee]

I could be having THE worst day, and just find a physics girl episode and i'm all better!!!
Dianna your excitement and wide-eyed enthusiasm are contagious!!! thank you so much
for breaking down complex subjects into smaller digestible chunks for us newbs!!!
btw you're absolutely gorgeous

"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That’s funny...'"

It’s like what Aristotle said, “The more you know the more you realize you don’t know”

I love it when textbooks have to be rewritten. This is when we reach for the future.

I think you should run with this format where u interact with ur team and have a Q&A session. Its very effective and engaging.

I love how you make it accessible for people who don’t do physics to understand pretty well what happened. I’m not even a native English speaker and I got the idea. Thanks!

You can tell she loves what she's talking about and loves to teach. It makes me happy

You have such a talent for explaining really complicated things in a way that makes it approachable to us, it's awesome.

Like, of course this was all super simplified, but it makes for a good enough explanation that we can be fascinated and go and find out more by ourselves, while still being able to say we learned something of value today.

Even if you only scratched the surface, it's awesome to get a peek into state of the art physics.

Great Job! You're an awesome teacher.

This reminds me of how 19th century scientists felt "science was done", there was just a few details to iron out before they'd know everything. And then...

When i was in 8th grade my parents surprised me by taking me to fermi national labs. I was so excited to go. When i got there i was answering almost every question and some guy took notice. My mom exchanged are info without thinking much of it. About a year goes by and im at a summer camp on my birthday and a package arrives filled with books with notes on them guiding me from every level. I wrote him a huge thank you letter from my heart but i no longer had his companys address from the box. This is my thank you to you random man for rekindling my childish joy and spark for physics

As somebody who studies physics in college, the "Can you accept that?" portion of the explanation is the most relatable.

[nicbreedveld]

Thank you for making these videos. I really wish I had someone like you as a teacher growing up.

[avici]

Genuinely smiled and intrigued of this new finding and how Dianna delivered it.

[donmanolito]

So adorable how she trying to explain it in a way that her team would understand it and is excited like a child at the same time 😄

I started studying physics basically when you started posting videos on this channel. And now I see you talking about my experiment. This is such an honor for me!

When my father (who is 101) studied Physics in school, he was told the smallest particle was the atom (sorry Ernest) so that is what he told me. When I took my Physics degree in the early 70's quarks/leptons were barely mentioned. Then the Standard Model came and now you say we are moving beyond/beneath that.... I can't keep up.
