Alba Moreno, a TikToker who triumphs on the networks with her informative videos about physics, becomes an opening point for her followers to learn science. “I have always been interested in the topic of the universe. It was what caught my attention the most, looking at the sky at night, seeing the stars and asking myself many questions”, this is how Alba Moreno decided to start her classes.
In contrast to those who claim that physics and mathematics are of no use in daily life, Alba Moreno managed to make boring topics exciting, as she assures that “you see the world differently when you understand the processes of things,” a step that undoubtedly not only impacts his followers but also those interested in physics, in a digital world. “I was never so interested in Physics until Alba Moreno appeared”
From how nails work in a gravitational context to why the sun can disappear, Alba Moreno takes us to ask, and investigate, and more than a class, she talks with everyone. And, given her passion today, this woman shares what she has learned from her TikTok account. In this strange firmament that is social networks, there are thousands of stars, but it feels more like a black hole, whose main quality is that it absorbs everything.
In the technological era, it is common for many people to think that social networks are used by youth to meet people, play games, or upload photos. In short, entertain yourself. And they have some truth, but people like Alba Moreno have used this technology for much more: trying to make physics understood by everyone, because physics is everywhere.
And, beyond saying the sound of a black hole, mercury retrograde, Alba also focuses on curiosities about life and the universe, always focused on teaching. That gave her a place in the public eye that she took advantage of to be able to pursue a career that answered her questions, as she stated during an interview on ‘OK, Boomer’.
