Scientist Discover a new Organ in the Human Body: I'm dead serious

i assumed that due to my experience with posts like this from religious people.^^ i apologize then. this whole thing sure is some damn clickbait.

It's all good. No harm no foul kun:

The reason I left it for pure maths. I couldn't keep up with a indefinitely old universe with "out bounds" unprovable be it mathematically nor experimentally.

When Andrei Lindei said 2 "existence" strings' collision might be in cause of multiple universe births. I closed my book and said good bye to science...

You...turned your back on science?

You...turned your back on science?

nope simply limiting my self to a physics level I can different instead of using "so by this equation there must be 2 gigantic strings on which their collisions cause a universe birth each time with its respective harmony(cheap way of saying a behavior I can't mathematically describe why)"

Bruh! I left physics fraternity because of that. There are almost 0 intelligent physicists who are enthusiastic about the field these because of what it has become. Most are over optimistic individuals who'll end up like us as well. I blame it on Higgs and Allan Guth! It's like you're chasing no where fats with multiple equations which you hope aren't disproved while you're still alive and get rich by it etc

I see

Higgs’ and Guth’s work are both among the testable products of modern particle physics. Though you are correct that modern theoretical physics is more philosophy than science - although this has more to do with the fact that all the low and even medium hanging fruit of the experimental tree have been picked.

For the past several decades the frontier of high-energy physics has reached scales so small, and therefore energy so high, that you need particle accelerators the size of planets to really investigate what the theorists have been talking about. Of course since we don’t have the technology to simulate that scale of energy, the theorists have been doing nothing but riding the theory train for all their careers worth. This is e.g. string theory in a nutshell.

Which is why I tell aspiring young physicists to go into engineering or even better, computer science (and many physicists these days indeed make that transition). The golden age of theoretical physics is long over – but there is still much to be done regards hardware and especially software. I suspect that machine learning (software) will be to our century what machines (hardware) were to the last, so you made a prudent choice in your career change choice.

Personally I figured I wasn’t smart enough to do any meaningful work in artificial intelligence so I decided to settle down for a vocation – medicine. Now I give diagnostic medicine 20 years at most before neural networks are doing a better job than the top dog physicians - but it’s too late to change direction now.

Anyway, adding to what has already been said on the topic, it isn’t fair to compare medicine with something like physics. In astrophysics, we had pretty good models of the solar system several hundred years ago. By contrast we didn’t understand how aspirin worked until a few decades ago (it’s a cyclooxygenase enzyme inhibitor). Medicine as a true science is a very young entity – about as young as computer science, in fact. Doing autopsies is useful but no more than looking at the night sky with a naked eye.

Too bad I discovered that late. I was into my first year already before I knew Physics as a bold fraternity is stagnant. I was hyped by SKA's presentations and scholarship to be interested in these. SKA(Square Kilometre Array, largest project in science history. A radio telescope made of so many big satellites that if you stack them side by side they would cover an area of 1KM^2 hence the name) was finilised to be hosted by South Africa and Australia since Karoo and Outback had the clearest of skies.

I can vouch for Higgs as the Higgs boson was a matter of experiment at the CERN terminals. As for Guth, I don't see how cosmic rapid inflation and particle soup's explanation is different from Aristotle's "classic element" Aether. The graviton's existence is even more queer.

So basically I didn't choose CS, it came in as a default since I lost all enthusiasm in Physics basically, even I still study a few in my free time.
