On this blog you will realise that science is not something that old professors talk about in a monotone voice, to be shared with other old professors in dusty classrooms, but is a fun and exciting subject that helps us understand the world around us. Experimentor_4u currently stands on the brink of making a professional career out of science and has set this blog up to share his experiences with the internet. From fun science experiments that you can perform at home, to abstract theories and hard research data, all of these can be found here to offer an interesting new perspective.
Becoming an astrophysicist takes years of hard work, determination and a great deal of mathematical ability but it starts with having a passion for learning and a curiosity for how the world works. Experimentor_4u discovered this at a young age when he used to sit with his grandfather out in the garden with an amateur telescope. As his grandfather pointed out famous constellations, visible planets and other celestial bodies, this passion for the study of space grew.
Today, Experimentor_4u has completed a BSc in Astrophysics, an MPhys in Astrophysics and is on his way to completing his PhD in the subject area. While impressive enough, the young astronomer attended Cambridge University, which has a world class physics department. The passion for learning and discovering what is out there in the dark cold expanse of space has turned into an exciting career.
To complete his PhD, Experimentor_4u has to perform rigorous empirical research to try and support his hypothesis. This is where the Cavendish Astrophysics Group at Cambridge University comes in, where he has enrolled on the graduate research programme. Making full use of the resources of the organisation, Experimentor_4u is able to study deep areas of space, putting his theories to the test.
In addition to research from the Cavendish Group and the students that make up part of the Graduate programme, expect to find a host of general science information, news articles and demonstrations of real science at work all on this blog.
