Yes, I was inspired by a judge I met at an astronomy competition, to study high-energy physics. I’m still a high-schooler and looking up to scientists is kind of my thing, so when I virtually met this judge, he spoke a bit about his profession, astrophysics and high-energy physics. Now, me and him are currently working on some research regarding the LHC and he’s really inspired me and he makes me feel smart, especially for a 16 year old 🙂

My company had a problem trying to find a calibration technique for a direction finder mounted under a helicopter for search and rescue work with irregular manual sample ngles. I was able to solve it by realizing that the calibration offset function was cyclical and using a Discrete Fourier Transform then applying a low pass filter, finding the inverse transform to interpolate the correction at any angle. The performance exceeded the requirement.

Good explanation, I like it very much.

In a poetry recital event, a professor recited a poem on physics. That was genius!

I read an article about Quantum Physics in Scientific American 20 plus years ago and my fascination with the subject has only increased.

Work in computer related fields and can fully see quantum mechanics being next in line and almost ready to go.

I work with computers but I’ve always tried to think about them as biological systems (and the other way around). I think it’s important to have different perspectives about a particular thing and learn from other domains.

Obviously. There should be no no’s here. Many physicist came to physics from other professions and discovered something we can boast off.

I reckon we should keep the idea of ´general education´ alive and strive to get a more rounded idea of what is going on in science, instead of becoming what in German is called a ´Fachidiot´.The internet makes this easier than it was ever before.

Maxwell, Mach, Newton, their ideas are either worked with or around. So current thought is important to keep up with.

In Nunavut, to survive the radiation, and the biome, I had to think of all angles.

Watermelon snow is radiation fallout ontop, possibly lichen below. Industry punishes us to know this.

In researching northern lights, I drew upon my farming background to understand oldtimers putting water barrels in the root cellars as a basis of heat. The northern lights falling in my workzone every night seemed to go beyond water freezing point.

Of course anything is grown by more knowledge of all things, or at least more things.

Mixing knowledge is crucial for the development of science. Various aspects, for example, of quantum mechanics are helping to better understand the natural sciences, chemistry, and opening up philosophical debates about how we understand the world.

Staying informed about recent discoveries and maintaining a collaborative network is essential in any domain. It allows for the cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives, which can lead to innovative breakthroughs. Just as Einstein drew inspiration from Faraday and Maxwell’s work in electromagnetism for his developments in general relativity, interdisciplinary knowledge can spark creativity and problem-solving.
In my own experiences, I’ve also encountered unexpected sources of inspiration. At times, during solitary walks, when I contemplate the profound interconnections of new theories of physics—or even in the realm of dreams—fresh ideas and potential solutions emerge. Although there’s no certainty about their viability, it’s worthwhile to explore them. It underscores the significance of maintaining an open mind and welcoming inspiration from unconventional or unexpected origins. These moments of insight can prove invaluable in advancing one’s work and transcending the constraints of a single field of expertise.

thinking outside the box and persistence is key to problem solving. inspiration can come from anywhere

Inspiration is tethered with connectivity throughout seemingly unrelated material. Case in point, these courses inspire my creative and philosophical writing, which is more of an alchemical romance reminiscent of Newton’s more esoteric works.
