My. First. Post.

Growing up in the age of the internet, I had always wondered what sort of arrogant, conceited person writes a blog on the internet. Who would possibly believe that they have ANYTHING even remotely interesting to write that anyone would want to read? Well after all this time the question has finally been answered. Me. I am that sort of person who believes anyone would give a hoot about what I’m thinking.

Now that this question has been answered, I guess I should figure out what direction this blog is going to go. As of now, I’m figuring that this will act as an outlet to write about and share my interests in physics and mathematics. For the most part, it probably won’t be focused too much on cutting edge discoveries or fields, as I have found that at this point in life that elaborating on what has already been discovered can be just as important as the latest discovery. So anyway, this is the first step on what I hope to be a long journey in which I can not only deepen my understanding of my personal interests while sharing them with the world and hopefully sparking some interest in the readers, but also seem like I have something halfway intelligent to say.

About Me

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.
