Unsure about software internship
I would hazard a guess that an established company would have a very specific role or project for an internship. They may be little flexibility involved in this role, and thus less of an actual learning experience. The start up company may offer a less defined role, allowing you greater...- Jery

Undergrad Question about the fabric of space

Graduate Nikola Tesla's Dynamic Theory of Gravity
As you have never seen the theory itself, it may seem a bit unfair to claim that there is a theory. Since there is little evidence supporting either side of these claims regarding Tesla's theory, all we have are unsubstantiated opinions.- Jery
