We wish we loved anything as much as Dr Tatiana loves explaining Physics

Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova of Texas A&M University – TAMU – has built up an avid fanbase for her videos on TAMU’s TikTok, in which she enthusiastically demonstrates and explains scientific principles.

Here she is explaining inertia, using a massive potato.

@tamuphysastr Dr. Tatiana is back to show you more about inertia with potato physics!! (knife is being used for educational purposes) #fyp #tamu #physics #foryou ♬ original sound – TAMU Physics & Astronomy

The potato clip went wildly viral, and it looks like a recent experiment to demonstrate atmospheric pressure is heading in the same direction.

@tamuphysastr Break a ruler with #atmosphericpressure! #physics #tamu #science #fyp #education #learnontiktok #doitathome ♬ original sound – TAMU Physics & Astronomy

The biggest takeaway from that is ‘Don’t lend Dr. Tatiana your ruler.’

These TikTok comments reflect hundreds more.

I want this woman to explain everything to me.

The clip made its way to Twitter, where it brought great joy.

We’ll leave you with this response from TikToker Fire fox.

So that’s how paper beats rock.
