## Описание

For Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir kept incredibly detailed spreadsheets to keep track of all of the maths for the spaceship, astrophage and Rocky's biology! We nerded out together about them.

👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford. I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

Just more spreadsheets than you can shake a stick at. I love it. Are you back of the envelope like calculating this matter of you have you made a spreadsheet if you got a code that's outputting like you know Lorentz transformations for you so you can keep It's all I have spreadsheets upon spreadsheets, — pages and pages, just more spreadsheets than you can shake a stick at. I love it. Let's see. I'm going to do a screen share here. This is just a spreadsheet for things related to the Hail Mary, fuel insulation, fuel volume, how the centrifuge works, how the engines work, the how spin drives work, and so on. It just keeps going on. And that's just one page. — Here's a bunch of stuff about Astrophage like and so on. These are constants like — and that just keeps going on. This is information about the Tau Ceti system. 40 Eridani system. This is how iridium muscles work. — This is amazing. I have to ask while I'm here like are you doing like this is a really nerdy question but I think you'll enjoy it. Well, doctor, I think you can go ahead now. What what are you a doctor of by the way? Uh astrophysics. Astrophysics, there we go. I I study super massive black holes so I'm waiting for your black hole story at some point. — Super massive Well, you got Interstellar, you know. — You had Interstellar. I saw that.
