I still remember fondly the time I got an A- on my 8th grade earth science paper. It was one of my proudest moments as a student.
Meanwhile, as MIT boasts, some folks are, well, a bit beyond that.
Physics is riddled with paradoxes: Think of how information leaks from supposedly inescapable black holes or how the conventional laws of physics break down at the quantum scale. Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski '13 believes that within these apparent contradictions, new discoveries await.
Ah yes, "how the conventional laws of physics break down at the quantum scale." I think about that often!
Well, apparently Ms. Pasterski thinks about it quite a bit. In fact, her entire life story seems to be just one long exercise of thinking.
Born in Chicago, some of Pasterski's earliest accomplishments include:
Building her own Zenith aircraft starting from age 12.
Attending the prestigious Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy
Holding an internship at the space tech company Blue Origin at age 16.
Working as an aeronautical engineer at Boeing Phantom Works by 18.
Not a bad rap sheet for someone under 20!
She subsequently attended MIT, during which she did work at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (no biggie). She eventually graduated from the prestigious institution with "a 5.0 grade point average." (I was not aware GPAs went that high.)
These days Pasterski's engaged in a little light research, nothing too strenuous:
She and her colleagues are working to unite general relativity, which describes gravity and the macroscopic world, with quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of subatomic particles. It's a field of physics research known as quantum gravity.
If Pasterski helps solve this problem that has vexed scientists for decades, the result will be the holy grail of physics: a fundamental theory of nature that characterizes pretty much everything. One day there may be engineering applications. "If you understand how things work," she says, "you can do things with that knowledge." But she's in this to solve an existential puzzle — to reveal what she calls "the source code of the universe."
If all of this makes you feel rather small, don't worry: Pasterski "estimates there are probably only a couple of thousand people in the world with whom she can meaningfully converse about her work in physics." It's a small club!
She has pushed back against the moniker of "the New Einstein," however, stating that in her hunt for the universal source code she is just "happy to be a part of this legacy that our field is building."
Okay but we're still gonna call you Einstein, lady!

Let’s hand out trophies before accomplishment again. Doing well in school never fed a hungry child or unlocked the source code of the universe.
exactly! Or stephen hawking
She might need security in today’s climate.
exactly. when the media pushes somebody it’s red flag.
Sorry, darling, they already figured this out in the book hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and everyone knows that the answer is 42
What’s the question?
Whatever happened to Yahoo Serious, anyway?
Soborno Issac Bari (aka ‘The Math God’) became a full PhD professor at Harvard at age 12. When she can beat that, I’ll be impressed.
But she’s in this to solve an existential puzzle — to reveal what she calls “the source code of the universe.” ….”… If all of this makes you feel rather small, don’t worry: Pasterski “estimates there are probably only a couple of thousand people in the world with whom she can meaningfully converse about her work in physics.” It’s a small club!”
One senses a crapload of hubris in this lady, or maybe it’s the reporter. It’ll be nice if she turns out to be able to walk the walk and isn’t just another DEI. She’s got the looks for the big brain job. She looks like the cute sister of the high-domed sharp faced alien featured in the original Star Trek series credits.
The Corbomite Maneuver.
I know! I know!
Genesis 1
” a full PhD professor at Harvard at age 12”
I’d buy her a drink. See where it goes. No harm.😊
The elite folks of this world are all about transcendence, living forever and the secrets of the universe and they want to know all this.
Some are good, some are bad, some are a mix, but the good ones don't ever want to organize. The bad ones want to organize because they lust after power. Powerful consciousnesses don't want to dominate other people. They want to empower them so they don't tend to get together until things are really late in the game; then they come together.
Einstein's physics prove that Max Planck's physics show to all of us at least 12 dimensions.
The computers are scanning these dimensions and finding tension points where it's artificially projected and gravity's bleeding in to this universe. That's what they call dark matter; so we're like a thought or a dream that's a wisp in some advanced AI computer program.
They're proving it all; it's all coming out. Now, there's like this sub-transmission zone below the third dimension that's just a basic level consciousness to launch into the next levels; and the most intelligent of our species have already researched way up into the fifth or sixth dimension consciously, but there's a decision to which level we want to go to.
We have free will, so evil's allowed to come and contend and not just good; and the elites themselves believe they're racing (using human technology), to try to take our best minds and build some type of breakaway civilization where they're going to merge with machines, transcend and break away from the failed species that is Man.
This is kind of like a false transmission because they're thinking what they are is ugly and bad, projecting it onto themselves, instead of believing, "No, it's a human test about building us up".
Google was set up over 20 years ago because they wanted to build a giant system that they believe will be the first artificial intelligence supercomputer based on the neuron activities of the hive mind of humanity with billions of people wired into it.
A so called "internet of things" whereby all of our thoughts go into it and we're actually building an AI computer that has real neurons in real time that's also physiically connected to us, that are organic creatures.
The objective for these elites is to have current prediction powers and future prediction powers (a true crystal ball).
The big secret is once you have a crystal ball and know the future, you could add stimuli beforehand and make decisions that control the future; and so then, it's the end of consciousness and free will for individuals as we know it and a true 2.0, in a very bad way.
Hive mind consciousness with an AI imposed into everyone, knowing our hopes and dreams, delivering it to us not in some copper wire head system, where we plug in and give up on consciousness because of unlimited pleasure, but because we were already wired in and absorbed before we know it by giving over our consciousness to this system via our daily decisions, that it was able to manipulate and control into a larger system.
Evil is an independent force that exists outside of people that acts upon people, and what vessel do they choose? The weak - the general population.
is that a compliment?
Uh, no.
Don't think you will find it but you can probably make some headway and that will be a good thing.
“Einstein was late to publish, too! 1905 was his Wunderjahr!”
He wasn’t too late to publish. His PhD thesis was published in 1905 for work that would be the basis for his Nobel Prize award. He was only 26 at the time.
At 33 years old, Dr Pasterski is obviously falling somewhat behind Albert’s amazing career.
