Theoretical Physicist Eleonora Svanberg attended the Nobel Prize banquet in a crochet dress her sister made inspired by her research about black holes

    Mods have pinned a comment by u/Eleonora57:

    Hello everyone! Eleonora here (the one wearing the dress, my sister Aurora is the incredible one who actually MADE the dress!). I'm so happy people are appreciating her work!

    I see a lot of people asking about my research. I'm doing mathematical physics (but just as a second-year PhD student!). My main work focuses on number theory and its applications to black holes. It's a very niche field and I'm currently writing my first paper (should hopefully be out within 1-2 months). I've done previous work on astrofluiddynamics, but I'm mainly a mathematician now.

    I'm working as much as I can to make STEM accessible, and dismantling stereotypes about these amazing fields. Me and my sister wanted to show the connection between art and mathematics (in fact, we made a series on our Instagrams eleonorasvanberg and aurei.crochet where we go through the mathematics behind this dress). And of course, sustainability as well. It felt like a good opportunity to make a statement about the things we believe in.

    With that being said, if you have any questions please reach out on instagram, happy to talk more! I don't hang out on Reddit too much but our mother's colleuge sent a screenshot of this post and I had to comment!

    Thank you for the love, stay curious and creative <3

Stitch gauge and how it increased when I got to the colorwork. Found out my bust measurement was between two pattern sizes, so I had to decide whether to use a bigger needle or go with a larger size. Oh, and then all the ratios that are needed to write a pattern in multiple sizes. Fascinating!

    For those who don’t know, she’s a badass. Eleonora Svanberg is doing the work to inspire young people, especially girls, to love math and science. As a PhD student in mathematical physics at Oxford, she founded the non-profit Girls in STEM, published a book to build confidence in math, and uses her large social media platform to break down stereotypes in STEM. She’s collaborated with organizations like UNESCO and the Nobel Prize Foundation and has received awards for her advocacy.

    Daaaang. What's she researching/published recently in the field? On top of everything else ofc. It's cool if you dk, I can just Google, but it's nice to chat w ppl instead sometimes.

    Edit: nvm found out - " Svanberg's research focuses on using geometry and number theory to understand black holes, particularly the modularity and arithmetic of Calabi- Yau manifolds."

    So cool

    I wonder if she's worked with Brian Greene, I've read a lot of his books (which are brilliant and I highly recommend!). He's worked on Calabi-yau geometry. From what I remember, Calabi-yau shapes are multidimensional - folded up in more dimensions than our usual 3D shapes so they're hard to visualize in our brains. There's theories that our universe is actually made of 10, possibly 11 dimensions, but most of the dimensions are folded up super tiny into a specific calabi-yau shape.

    Having watched several of Veritasium's video on maths and physics, it's become evident to me that unless you have a mind that works that way, it just isn't understandable.

    It turns I don't have a mind that works that way and hence didn't understand the vast majority of it. But I am very glad that there are clever people around who do all these wonderful things.

    17 points jamesreyne

    I've felt the same way about some of those videos, but having gone from learning order of operations to university calculus in the past two years, you can make your mind work that way.

    But it's a tall order to get familiar enough with maths to just understand some of it, even on a superficial level.

    Some people are just not able to understand stuff like this. I had to take calc in college and no matter how hard I studied, it just didn’t make sense. Oceanography, otoh, comes so easily to me. Ecology and evolutionary biology as well.

    parent root
    14 points jamesreyne

    Obviously I can't speak for your experience, but it's my experience that math builds on itself, and that jumping ahead and trying to understand concepts without having built that base is asking for trouble. I say this as someone who needs to learn it three different ways to make it stick. Geniuses and savants aside, it doesn't come easily to anybody.

    I had to take calc twice, and the teacher makes all the difference. The second time around I had a woman who would explained things multiple ways, because some explanations will click better than others.

    The other secret is that astrophysics doesn’t necessarily make sense to the experts either. They tolerate some impossible truths. No one is able to truly understand it.

    Imagine a black hole is crumpling up spacetime like you would crumple up a sheet of paper into a ball.

    There are many many ways that crumpled paper can be arranged, but there are some ways that can't/won't happen. The paper won't spontaneously go through itself, holes won't just appear, etc.

    As I understand it she's essentially studying the possible ways that space can fold while still maintaining things like symmetries that are fundamental to how we understand the universe.

    parent root

    They don't tell you why you get invited, but my guess is because of the outreach work I've done in Sweden (I'm Swedish!) and I've also worked with the Nobel Prize foundation the last years to highlight the human side of the Nobel Prize laureates, and their discoveries. I find it important to highlight this for especially the young generation that might be curious about science.

    I hope I can ask this appropriately. Is the focal point a kind of double entendre to do with femininity and power? Am I too stupid to understand even a dress?

    I’ve really enjoyed reading all the comments on this post. It’s really nice to see everyone just celebrating this amazing woman.

    Can we do this more often? It’s so nice!

    She looks absolutely stunning and that's the kind of representation in STEM we love to see. A theoretical physicist serving looks and breaking stereotypes.

    She’s the physical embodiment of that Tumblr post that’s like:

    Once I get my mental health straightened out, get fit, find a makeup routine that’s flattering, finish my PhD, and get a job, it’s over for you bitches.

    She’s done all of it. Look at her out there living the dream and looking fantastic while she does it
