    I'm glad you decided to make this video expandy instead of compressy.


    I also love your enthusiasm for things that have no implications for everyday life.
  • @jima1135
    I want to see the SUPER EXTENDED interview! Give me the full 1 1/2 uncut hours please!
  • @guiguspi
    Great format, Diana. Don't hesitate in doing similar stuff in the future.
  • @chadgreen376
    We've all had managers or heads of our department that had no idea what we, as engineers or scientists, were working on. Dr. Landry isn't that guy. He has answers ready to pull out of his pocket that most of us have either been contemplating forever, or never considered before. This was incredibly interesting and thought provoking. Thank you!
  • @TheRealReTox
    Okay, I'll say sorry now if this gets traction... but yes, please more long form videos nerding out on a topic.
  • @IIDASHII
    Hearing from experts like this in long form is of incredible value. Thank you for bringing Dr. Landry to the masses! In a world where its hard to know what is true and what is not, it was nice to get a half hour of real people talking about really complicated things in a real way. :)

    Me: Hey Dianna let's talk
    Dianna: Can't right now, I'm busy
    Me: It's about physics
    Dianna: I'm listening
  • @johnrettig1880
    Between you and Anton Petrov of " What Da Math " I'm learning quite a lot thanks to both of you .
    At 61 it's not too late to learn
  • I love this extended casual conversation of such a technical topic. Micheal is a fantastic speaker and explains things very clearly.

    I also love the fact that you can actually set the moments on Diana's face when her mind is exploding
  • @Majoofi
    I would've gladly stuck around for the full uncut interview.
  • I would've watched full 1 hr 45 mins video if it is on this topic. May be you should upload it.
  • @user-bu8qn3tc6r
    Diana, please, please, please, upload at some point the full interview. If it's 1/100 as interesting as this video, it has to be awesome. Also good job with this one :)
  • WOW, this was a fantastic interview, loved it. I would love to see the full 1 1/2 hour uncut version. All the LIGO episodes are so fascinating but this blitzed it. Thank you so much Dianna for all your Physics Girl presentations. Keep up the great work. Regards, Ken
  • I'm taking a general relativity course this upcoming semester, covering black holes, Einstein equations, Riemann tensors, etc.
    This is hyping me up for it, big-time!
  • @nikolaspoljar
    Somehow I understood everything he was saying
    I really enjoyed watching this, so keep up the good work
  • @tonyroberts7481
    “Compressy” my new favorite word. At least brilliant people make the same mistakes with grammar that we do. Great video by the way, thank you for showing more of the interview.

    "do you know the right question that I am trying to ask?"
    you stole my heart there Dianne!
  • @skydivekrazy76
    Your enthusiasm is an addictive experience. Thank you for what you do.
  • Just so you know, I would have watched the whole hour plus interview. Your videos are always crammed full of interesting information. I love watching them.

    P.S. - I need a Happy Physics-ing t-shirt or poster. You should think of offering that as merch (you mentioned not knowing what to offer in some other video)
  • @Marclivis
    This was so awesome! Thank you for uploading this for us to learn and enjoy! Honestly I would love looooong-form content whenever you have it to share with us!
