Grab a nice cup of coffee and take a deep dive into the fascinating world of physics! What is This science blog lets the teacher learn about the cosmos and our place within the grand scheme of things. You can follow the different adventures of Dr. Hossenfelder as she post about her job, herlfe, and it connects the student or teacher to an actual theoretical physicist Important key points: Talk to an actual scientist! Explore what i ke fo be a theoretical physicist. Lear about space the cosmos, Learn about the dally fe of someone who studies matter ‘and the stuff we are all made off. Talk to a scientist! On the site it says that if you can have any questions regarding science or the foundations of physics you can talk to Dr. Hossenfelder or someone in her team. The only downside to thisis this she doe charge for her time. Your can also buy her book!
