Challenging conventional thinking
I’ve always been fascinated by black holes, dark matter, quantum physics, and other general scientific unknowns. It’s not just about the unknown though. I love reading about the theories that we come up with, reinvent, and denounce in the process of discovery. Once the world was a floating disk on top of a bunch of tortoises, now, we can create maps of dark matter by calculating how and to what degree it refracts passing light. We’ve come a long way baby! It’s the process in between where we see so much creativity in the scientific community. Theories lead to experiments lead to results – conventions should follow.
