🤯 ニュートンの側面とインポスター症候群

このパラグラフでは、アイザック・ニュートンがインポスター症候群に苦しんでいたという意外な事実を紹介しています。ニュートンは自分自身を批判的に見ており、彼の最大の成就を自身の処女死であると見なしていました。この自認は、彼が最も尊敬し、模範としていた人物、イエス・キリストのように生きることに由来しています。さらに、ニュートンの個人的な生活、特に彼がイングランドの造幣局長として行った行動、そして彼の性格がどのように彼の科学的業績と相まっていたかについても触れられています。また、ノーベル賞を含む現代の科学者たちもインポスター症候群に苦しんでいることが示されています。

🌌 時間旅行と宇宙の理解

第二段落では、時間旅行の理論と、それがどのように可能になるかについての議論が展開されます。特に、カート・ゲーデルが提唱した宇宙モデルに基づく時間旅行の可能性について説明しています。ゲーデルのモデルは、宇宙がある特定の方法で回転していれば、時間を遡ることが理論的に可能であると示唆しています。さらに、アインシュタインとゲーデルの関係や、宇宙研究がいかにして日常の政治的、社会的争いを超越したものであるかについても論じられています。このパラグラフは、科学的探求がいかに人類の想像力を引き伸ばし、我々の理解を拡大するかを示しています。

Newton had the impostor syndrome he said

you're kidding me Newton he was like cuz

Newton was kind of a prick Newton had a

huge ego he was not kind to his friends

he tortured people as the master of the

mint or he had them tortured tortured

people yeah he was physically tortured

people he was responsible he was like

the exe he was responsible for the

equivalent of the IRS in in England so

people would cheat they would scrape

down pennies they that's right read this

he was the master of the mint it was

called yeah that's right I forgot about

this alist he he was an amazing guy but

he was kind of a prick and he had

impostor syndrome as well so he had

imposter Sy now who could he have

imposter syndrome about you might wonder

and if you read his writings do you know

what Isaac Newton the creator of

calculus the uh first- person understand

universal gravitation discovered laws of

Optics do you know what his biggest

accomplishment according to him was what

he died of Virgin yeah that was a weird

one right yeah I was going to bring that

up he was celibate you know why why

because there's only one way that he

could emulate his hero his the person

before whom he felt the impostor

syndrome and who was that that was Jesus

Christ oh boy so he wanted to be

Christlike he wanted to emulate Christ

and the only way he could do it he

couldn't like fast or I don't know he

couldn't bapti walk on water he couldn't

turn water into one he couldn't turn

loaves into fishes or whatever Jesus

also did but he could die cell it and

that's who he had imposters are you sure

he just didn't was like an excuse for he

didn't like sex I don't know I mean it

sounds nutty because like how do you

figure that out when you're like 14 15

years old you know you're young and full

of hormones and you've made this

decision to be like Jesus yeah he sounds

insane he definitely was he was not like

you would want to hang out with G if you

met want to hang out with him too yeah

know for a little bit just to see what

it's like so when you win the Nobel

Prize you go there and what is what is

the Commandment about idol worship it's

that you shall make no Guild

golden Graven like engraved images so

who is that do you know who that is uh

Albert Noble yeah it's Alfred Nobel

that's right Al and you know he invented

dynamite uh and he he also died he died

never having been married I don't know

if he was celibate or H so he was never

married um but he uh he established his

when you win it you literally the king

of Sweden comes up to you and you must

bow down to him and he puts the Gilded

Graven image on your head so for all the

you know trappings and all the 90% of

National Academy members who do not

believe actively profess a belief in God

this can become at some level of

religion and it's a kosher one it's okay

to worship right well the unattainable

for that that's maybe perhaps attainable

to a very select few is always the thing

that people are chasing after especially

like high Achievers that's right but

many many that I know that get there do

have impostor syndrome including MMA

world champions like some of them they

get there like this isn't n real this

can't be real I can't be the man cuz

they've set this up their whole life and

also it's they look you can get to the

promised land but you can't stay in it

how many baseball teams have won the uh

World Series year after year forever I

mean even the Yankees haven't done that

even your BX haven't done that right

they're not mine okay fine um but for me

as a young kid this is this is what I

aspired and actually as an adult I

wanted to win this basically at all cost

this became my but it was acceptable

because people told me you know like if

you discover these waves of gravity

manifest in the cosmic background

radiation that I study you're guaranteed

to win the Nobel Prize and it became an

obsession to me as well as being

scientifically interesting to be a part

of there are very few projects that are

eligible to win a Noble Prize let alone

that like can win it but but for me it

was kind of an added Dimension that came

with it and that was you know like the

normal kid might have it with sports and

her dad or or or maybe the other way

around with your when you're a dad you

might treat your kids like that like oh

you think you could take me on or

whatever like um and so for that that

was the main source of driving impetus

for my personal quest to get this

particular Idol in my life that's wild

are you aware of uh Ronald Mallet do you

know who he is no he is uh I believe

he's out of the University of

Connecticut he studies time travel and

he became obsessed with time travel

after his father died when he was a

young boy cuz he felt like if he worked

hard enough he could develop a time

machine and go back can save his

father it's why it's literally a

Spider-Man origin story exactly this guy

has been dedicated his life to finding

uh a working model of a time machine and

I think uh was it uh Kurt godell like

how do you say his name gerle it's that

weird yeah how do you say it what's

girdle ger it's like people let's say

van go and now it's really van excuse

you um but he developed a working model

but it it just required something like

the size of the of the solar system no

you're right I don't know how you know

that but yeah he had a spiraling he had

a rotating Cosmos where you could have

what are called World lines you could

have your just like you could walk

around the surface of the Earth and if

you go in the same direction eventually

you'll come back to where you started in

the if the universe was somehow rotating

in the way that he envisioned it you

could have it end up on a on a time

where you began from the beginning yeah

see that traveler life like light Tim

like curve wild girdle is interesting

because he he and Einstein were buddies

um back at the institute for Advance

study like I don't know if you saw

Oppenheimer bud I haven't seen it yet oh

you should see it I don't go to the

movies I do go to the movies I saw

barbie yeah did your

girls everything's a goddamn culture War

I know that's what I love about

astronomy no one ever freaking wakes up

and says see that Comet over there I

[ __ ] that's a republican there's

there's there's a Democrat asro now it

also it makes you're studying things

that are so immense and so spectacular

that it makes all this stuff seem like

nonsense this stuff that people fill

their days up with complaining about a

[ __ ] Barbie movie Jesus Christ
