You know, if I didn’t do medicine, I’d want to do astronomy.
All the equations and whatnot put me off, but I find this shit so interesting.
Love the thread title change tho 
@Trion if you want you can buy and read Einstein’s PhD thesis lol
But yeah I can imagine entry standards into Indian unis to be massive. But hey, if you have the passion, go for it!
People hate Mathematics so I doubt there will be much competition

Please don’t! I love listening to people who work in STEM. I have a cousin who’s a chemist, I’ll look up topics to ask her about when I know I’m going to see her. She has soooo much passion and it’s a blast to talk to her about it.
I made the title change, Senpai.
Now that you have revealed your profession, we expect you to post Luca esque updates from here on.

Yeah that’s very much the gist of Life 3.0 aswell. Although not too far in, really recommend it.
Very jealous that you get to catch him. A lot of his stuff about being morally ahead of how technologically advanced we are makes good sense when you think of it. Take the ability to wipe out capitalism with Universal Basic Income, it’s a real eye opener as to what we really don’t know as to how near we are to having such revolutionary abilities.
Or even programming a driverless car, look at the ‘Trolley Problem’ and then you get an idea what sort of insight is required to code something with a relatively linear purpose.

I was talking to my kid about the future the other day and we got on the topic of quantum computers. He wanted to learn more about it so I pointed him to this article. It does a good job of defining and explaining what it is, where we’re at, and the problems we have to solve first…
Quantum computing will change the world. We just have to figure out the size and cooling problems and decay rate, and… yeah. I say build them in space…

I don’t know man, I’m not the pope of science. If I look out from the window, seems pretty flat to me.
Besides, my friend once told me he went outside and put a really round ball on the ground.
The ball didn’t roll nowhere.
So.
Idno man.
Smh can’t believe this heel turn
In other news:
Lost of cool stuff occurring in RNA, epigenetic and protein research.
One bane of my life is that the original papers the research the news is talking about are never linked in the article.
I get it you have to dress it up for the public, but it’s important to be able to check these media aren’t being too liberal with the truth.
For example here is the latest relevant paper here, even the abstract can give some context to the article:
