AI Thread Summary
A 14-year-old student from Taiwan expresses a strong interest in quantum mechanics, astronomy, topology, and chemistry, aspiring to work at CERN. Forum members welcome the student and suggest exploring various educational resources available on the platform, including forums, an Insights Blog, and a media gallery with videos on relevant scientific topics. Concerns arise about the student's age and the potential impact on receiving responses, with advice given to present accurate information to avoid mismatched expectations in discussions. The importance of honesty in self-presentation is emphasized to enhance the learning experience and facilitate appropriate responses. The conversation highlights the community's supportive nature while addressing the challenges of being a young learner in a specialized field.

:welcome:

Your age and academic background set in your profile don't match - in fact, I haven't seen anyone completing PhD at the age of 14 :wink:

The following are the three main sections in PF. You should explore them well:

1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The Videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.

The topics that you mention are actually very interesting. Once you get into the depths of Quantum, it will become almost impossible to resist the temptation to learn more and more :smile:

The sections Particle, Quantum, Astronomy and Chemistry in the media gallery should be of particular interest to you. A lot of lectures and other videos are available there.

Enjoy your time here.

With regards,
Wrichik.
 
Yeah . I have noticed that. But in my opinion, PhDs in my country are not really that hard to get. Besides, if I identify myself as a 14 year old in this forum. I may not get as many needed replies due to my age.

You will get replies, because:
  • Your age is not shown in your profile unless you choose to do so.
  • No one will come back to this thread and check whether you are 14 years.
  • You are not going to write your age while asking a question.

Thanks for support. Good night.

ps: I will change it tomorrow

Actually, if you present an image of yourself as being more accomplished than you are, then you are likely to get answers that are geared towards that level of expertise. This will significantly worsen your experience here as you will get answers at a level you are not prepared for and it will lead to frustration among the people replying because you will not understand what they are talking about although you should if you really had the experience they geared the answer towards. You are free to display your experience level or not, but if you do it is in your direct interest to display accurate information. It will serve to decrease your frustration as well as that of people who reply to you.
