The discussion centers around the challenges and potential strategies for improving physics education, particularly among younger students. Participants explore personal experiences, perceptions of physics, and the importance of fostering a passion for the subject before students encounter formal education.
Participants generally agree on the importance of fostering a passion for physics early on, but there is no consensus on the best methods to achieve this or the feasibility of the proposed ideas. The discussion reflects a mix of encouragement and caution regarding the participant's aspirations.
Participants acknowledge the limitations of their current knowledge and experience, suggesting that further education and personal growth are necessary before making significant contributions to physics education.
I have: but there aren't many open to people of my age, at least none that I'm aware of, and they'd have to not overlap with the school day either...WWGD said:

The timing would still be an issueWWGD said:
They generally ask for proof of age for safety reasons on the sign up (they're big on that here in the UK), and I might be tall but I do look and dress like a teenager :)WWGD said:
Just a bad joke suggesting you pretend to be older.TensorCalculus said:
haha yeah that's what I inferred :)WWGD said:
For what it's worth I'd happily take a correspondence course under you!symbolipoint said:
Scarily I think that the most of the geniuses did their best work in their early twenties... Not a comforting tought.kuruman said:You got about 10 years to make to make up your mind. I asked Google AI "When does a male human's brain gel?" and here is what it said:
It appears you're using "gel" as a metaphorical term for reaching maturity or completing development.Based on current research, the male human brain doesn't fully develop, in terms of reaching complete maturity and efficiency in all areas, until around 25 years of age, or even as late as 30.Specifically, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions like decision-making, planning, and impulse control, is one of the last areas to fully mature. While the brain undergoes significant growth and forms numerous neural connections in early childhood, the process of myelination (insulation of nerve fibers for faster transmission) and synaptic pruning (elimination of unused connections for efficiency) continues well into adolescence and early adulthood.It's important to remember that brain development is a complex and ongoing process influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, experiences, and lifestyle choices.
My brain gelled at age 26.
I don't know about most geniuses but Newton certainly did a lot of his work in his early twenties!sbrothy said:
