Is it possible to become a physicist if you had bad grades.
With all due respect, I think that telling a high school student that you would not hire them is inappropriate. I would not want to hire a cynical person who is willing to put down a high school student. To potato: start working hard now. Do not waste any time. Zz is right in that you must...- RoundEarVulcan

Bioinformatics and observing genetic mutations
Great reply Ygggdrasil. How is the DNA extracted and transferred to a form that can be observed? (From DNA to computer software/program) Also, once DNA information is present on a computer screen, how is it observable? In other words, there must be HUGE amounts of data from the DNA - how is it...- RoundEarVulcan

Interstellar: A Visual Masterpiece with Disappointing Writing and Physics
Hi guys, I hope everyone doesn't choose to gang up on me for this, but I actually really enjoyed the movie. It wasn't perfect, but not many movies are. If the physics behind it were 100% accurate, then it would be almost impossible to carry a storyline (or for the audience to understand). I...- RoundEarVulcan

Optical drive SSD conversion Mac
Hi guys, I was just wondering if any macbook pro owners have successfully converted the optical drive into an area to hold an SSD. I am planning on keeping my current HDD and adding the SSD. Please let me know how it went and how much it affected the performance. (2012 MacbookPro non-retina)...- RoundEarVulcan
