So you might be thinking to yourself “Who is this strange person writing about nerd things on the internet?” Well I hope to answer your question.
My name is David, and I am a self professed physics nerd. I’ve had a passion for science and mathematics since I was very young. In the second grade I’m told got into an argument with a classmate regarding the existence of negative numbers. By the time I graduated high school, I had taken all of the math courses and all of the college level science courses that my district offered (except for biology). In college I studied and became enamored with physics, where it felt like I had finally found my intellectual home. As of 2020, I currently hold a Bachelor of Science in Physics.
Currently, I am on a journey to not only become a better physicist, but also a better scientist generally. I believe that this will take me through the other scientific fields so that maybe I can learn from them, like what mistakes or blind spots they may have considered that I have not, what points of view do the various fields have and how does that change our interpretation of similar phenomena, and also how do we communicate to one another. That last one I believe may be the most important lesson. But who knows, I guess I’ll have to find out.
