A day in the life of an astrophysicist

So many people have asked me what it is that I do in my job. Here is the somewhat short answer. Hope you enjoy!

I love how oliver prioritises things in his mind
1.)friday
2.)outer wilds
3.)birthday

[pattenzitting]

everyone say "happy birthday oliver" happy birthday oliver

[jaspin]

You did it, you mad lad!!!!


additionally it is very strange to see a body mimicking the voice of Oliver!

My current theory is this is the work of an advanced neural network processing the voice of oliver and spitting this out. Very impressive, however i am not so easily fooled!

"I love induction."

This man is too freakin' cute.

The lack of a Nomai table in your apartment is concerning. Have you been lying to us all this time?

[yanwittmann]

Ever since that Outer Wilds playthrough, I was hooked to the way you play games. You allow them to take their space, you take time to understand what they want from a player with all your theory-crafting and on top of that you're also just a really good gamer!

I'm sure to watch whatever you will be doing next!

Oliver looks at a galaxy: "What's this? .... Diorite!"

[Xaph]

Happy birthday and thank you for the endless hours of entertainment! I never used to watch Let's Plays that much, but ever since I found your channel, I've been hooked.

[SapphirePhoenix]

it is certainly interesting to hear about the intricacies of astrophysics, would love to hear more about it if you ever have time in the day!

[Taycatte]

I'd just watched your OW playthrough a couple weeks ago, played it years ago myself and suddenly got the urge to "replay" it vicariously. I loved your analytical and insightful commentary. And here I am looking forward to spending more time on this channel. Cheers and happy birthday!

6:50 -- for your models with black holes, do you have a way to simulate what would happen if you were to... plug the hole?

[black_crest]

This is one piece of a perfection. This is EXACTLY how I had expected you to make it. The music choice, the camera work, your way of talking etc everything is PERFECT. It has similar vibes to the self awareness videos you did long ago which I absolutely adored! In a nutshell, you made the vlog perfectly Oliver. It couldn't have been any better! Expecting more vlogs in the future <33

THIS IS SO COOL

Oliver you've got such a charming personality you're probably the first person I want to watch a vlog of, also your job is genuinely fascinating imo. Astrophysics is cool af!
Edit:
ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY + OUTER WILDS PLAYTHRU ANNIVERSARY

[WhosNiall]

My most anticipated video yet. Much love to you Oliver (You've heavily inspired me to follow my love for theoretical physics ❤)

[Iiberated]

What a cursed way to brew coffee. I'm here with my aeropress and cheapo hand grinder, paying an arm and a leg for specialty beans, pretending to taste those grapefruit notes...
Actually, instant coffee might be fine.

[nllpnterexception]

Happy birthday Oliver! Absolutely loved every series you've done so far, especially Outer Wilds and Rain World.

[Maiden.less.]

Wow, I am amazed Oliver found the way back to his work and back home again; that's a feat he did not always manage! :p

[DanRG]

Happy birthday, Oliver, and thank you. I think your Outer Wilds playthrough finally put my crippling Outer Wilds playthrough addiction to rest, it was that final good hit that I needed. Your other let's plays have been so uniquely delightful as well, you appreciate so many things about the games I like that most people never talk about. Your explanation of the science you do was great. Just keep being yourself!
