The second video as part of the Science Inspires channel on YouTube
Prof. Julian Sitarek from the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics at the University of Lodz is our expert and guide to the vastness of space.
As he says, he has always been fascinated by the possibility of recreating the world in a computer simulation. Astrophysics has provided him with this opportunity. Find out what gamma rays are, how they can help us discover "new physics" and contribute to technological development in the future.

Texts, photos, dissemination of the results of the research by scientists from the University of Lodz
Our activities include not only video productions, but also popular science texts showing research processes and their results, but also presenting the tedious, challenging and unsuccessful nature of scientific work. "Science Inspires" is also about the profiles of scientists from the University of Lodz, which focuses on the motivations for choosing the profession of a scientist and the impact of research work on the environment.
Our goal is to stimulate curiosity and interest in science, as well as to emphasize its importance for society and the development of civilisation.
All the materials can be found on the website dedicated to the project.
The production of videos as part of the "Science Inspires" project was co-financed from the budget of the City of Lodz as part of the "Academic Lodz" programme.
