Hey PFers,
I had seen in the past interviews about moderators, but I did not see one about Vanadium50.
Here's what I'd be glad to know about:
You seem to be a polymath. How did you acquire a so deep and extensive knowlegde in areas such as physics and computer science?
Out of curiosity, approximately how many textbooks are to be found in your personal library?
I had other questions that I forgot, I might post them later.
Thank you!

I didn't have time to do the interview then, and I really don't have time to do it now. We started it, and Greg said, "well, the first hundred questions are kind of basic..." :smile:

Thanks. I've worked hard to become so.

And I am not left-handed.

Thanks for the reply :)
From time to time, if you feel like sharing a little bit more about you/your knowledge, feel free to drop some information. I'll always be interested in knowing more about how you managed to be so strong at science. Even if it's one sentence every 3 years.
