Brian May's Astrophysics Thesis on Solar System Dust
(Edited)
The video asks, "How fast does the Sun orbit the Milky Way?" Brian May didn't set out to answer that question. He was just studying a dust cloud.
My question wasn't so much how fast, but instead, how do you use a dust cloud to measure velocity. Turns out, you can use spectroscopy combined with doppler shift. Simple, right?
I also like how the Dr. Becky thought that it was quaint to include code (FORTRAN) in his thesis, and how that's just not feasible anymore. They use github links now.

Ooh, it bugs me that the picture of Brian is reversed. He's not a lefthander :) Great guitarist though and it's cool he got back to assume science.
@inertia is part of the gang stalking group @steemspeak ran by @fyrstikken, that uses Voice to Skull. This comment is here to let people know.
This is not a warning, it's a fact. Voice to skull will read your thoughts first without your knowledge for a long time, to map you. They then include transmitting self octave scale-able comments into your head to a tight, pulsed pace, indefinitely. Any brain activity, even the smallest, will trigger this when sound is turned on. You have to do all of your thinking around this. It is extreme torture, done by monsters.
@inertia your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special, your so special.
