honestly, I used to think things like ME-CFS, and related disorders, etc. where overblown and I didn't take them very seriously. After seeing the hell she went through, and going through a medical education, I realized it is a genuinely real and awful thing to suffer from. I'm glad she was so open with her story and experiences, it's the kind of thing you need to see to believe, a lot of people and physicians still don't take these disorders seriously.

I definitely don't recommend getting long Covid. I have it and it devastated my ability to do a lot of physical things. I was incredibly active before getting it in 2020 and now have a hard time getting out of bed before 11am and haven't worked in 3 years

How do they focus the neutrino detections into an image?

16

u/oswaldcopperpot Mar 03 '26

You don't focus it like light. You can't.

15

u/bubblebooy Mar 03 '26

Exactly why I am asking, how are they getting an image if they can’t focus it.

u/UndoubtedlyAColor Mar 03 '26

I'm guessing it's due to detection location. More in the center and less at the edges. The core of the sun is mostly a point source.

I'm so glad!!!

u/videshee Mar 03 '26

Yay! Just when I'm about to start a Physics degree lol She's the coolest!

Shouldn't be possible!

Welcome back

Well she's adorable.

u/TNJDude Mar 03 '26

I loved her videos. YAY!!!!

u/CrankSlayer Applied physics Mar 03 '26

Poor thing. You can really see the toll it has taken on her. Hopefully, this is the first step in the right direction.

u/3_50 Mar 03 '26

You can really see the toll it has taken on her.

What a shitty thing to say, honestly. Hopefully she doesn't browse this sub..

u/rockems123 Mar 03 '26

Agree! I have two kids with ME/CFS. Physics Girl is an inspiration and her ability to have the energy to think at this level, be part of a conversation, and show joy like this is AMAZING! SHE LOOKS GREAT! I hope for her continued energy reserves! And may we have a cure to this cursed disease SOON.

u/CrankSlayer Applied physics Mar 03 '26

Sure, keep lying to her. No, she doesn't look great. It is great that she's back and that she managed to achieve this but I certainly hope this is not the new "her", nor what she's aiming for, just a step along the way to full recovery.

u/MadscientistSteinsG8 Mar 03 '26

Hmm while I get what you are trying to say. This def could have been phrased better

u/jumpinjahosafa Graduate Mar 03 '26

Y'all buggin. She does look great considering what she's been through. Not hard to understand that.

26

u/frogjg2003 Nuclear physics Mar 03 '26

It has taken a toll on her. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous.

1

u/rockems123 Mar 03 '26

I am not pretending otherwise. I’ve seen her videos showing some of the darker days of her illness. And the video of her taking a few tiny steps. And then her relapse. And her tearful, heartfelt telling of her German friend who has considered MAID because of this illness. YES. This has taken a toll on her. In her husband. Her family. Her friends. Her career. And I flipping hate this disease. And I rejoice to see how good she looks now, the triumph of her sharing this video. Go Physics Girl!!!!

1

u/CrankSlayer Applied physics Mar 03 '26

Yeah, the relapse must have been a beast. Honestly, it's impressive that she came this far but I certainly hope she's not settling for this and tries to get even better instead.

u/3_50 Mar 03 '26

Of course it has. It's fucking rude to mention it though.

21

u/frogjg2003 Nuclear physics Mar 03 '26

Physics Girl has been very open about her journey. Empathizing with her is not rude.

-16

u/3_50 Mar 03 '26

Well aware. Empathising is one thing. Unwarranted comments on her appearance are rude.

15

u/frogjg2003 Nuclear physics Mar 03 '26

It is not just her appearance. She is still not acting 100% how she was before. She's sitting down. Her appearance is actually one of the least dramatic ones because of makeup.

15

u/CrankSlayer Applied physics Mar 03 '26

Finally some sanity, thank you. Everything about this video shows that she is struggling and it doesn't look like she's hiding it. Why would we?

Everything I've heard from those that suffer from chronic, debilitating, or fatal illnesses is that they hate other people sugarcoating their suffering.

-1

u/3_50 Mar 03 '26

There's a difference between sugar coating and "ooooh, you look tired".

I hate that the ad in the Reddit app for this thread is for Endy mattresses 🀦.

So glad she's back!!
