Description: Quantum field theory defeated me in my masters. Can I vanquish my demon this time? See extra content and support me as a creator by signing up to CuriosityStream and getting Nebula! curiositystream.com/simonclark This video is about me trying to learn quantum field theory (QFT) but really it's about what I learned about learning. Over the course of three months I came to terms with a traumatic mental health experience before my PhD, developed my knowledge of physics, and came to a whole new appreciation of being a student. I even had some help direct from a graduate student in quantum field theory at the University of Oxford! This is a very personal video, and in a way one I made for me, but I still hope you enjoy it :) QFT resources! Here are a variety of lecture notes I used: - Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur indico.cern.ch/event/957763/contributions/4025879/attachments/2117913/3598224/Quantum%20Field%20Theory%20for%20the%20Gifted%20Amateur-Oxford%20University%20Press%20%282014%29.pdf - Oxford QFT notes: www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/JohnCardy/qft/qftcomplete.pdf - Cambridge notes (canonical quantisation): damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/qft.html Note that there are also some For a fantastic visualisation of QFT (that Thomas also helped out with) check out this phenomenal video from ScienceCLIC: youtube.com/watch?v=MmG2ah5Df4g&ab_channel=ScienceClicEnglish This video is a sequel of sorts to my Day in the Life of an Oxford Physics Student video, where I filmed my fourth year at Oxford: youtube.com/watch?v=IgiqlpDXtuU (I filmed this in movember, pls don't judge) Support the channel by becoming a patron at patreon.com/simonoxfphys Check out my website! simonoxfphys.com ---------- II ---------- My twitter - twitter.com/simonoxfphys My facebook - facebook.com/youtubesimon My insta - instagram.com/simonoxfphys My goodreads - goodreads.com/simonoxfphys ---------- II ---------- Music by Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com Huge thanks to my supporters on Patreon: Ashley Wilkins, Michael Parmenter, Samuel Baumgartner, ST0RMW1NG 1, Jan Galkowski, Adrian Sand, Morten Engsvang, Josh Schiager, Farsight101, Liam Margetts, K.L, poundedjam, Alanah Mack, Felix Freiberger, Robert Connell, Jaime Stark, Kolbrandr, , Sebastain Graf, Dan Nelson, Shane O'Brien, Alex, Fujia Li, Harry Eakins, Andrew Young, Cody VanZandt, Jesper Koed, Jonathan Craske, Albrecht Striffler, hennersfl, Jon Sjöberg, Igor Francetic, Jack Troup, SexyCaveman , James Munro, Oskar Hellström, Sean Richards, Kedar , Omar Miranda, Alastair Fortune, bitreign33 , Mat Allen, Anne Smith, Colin J.
