Questions Answered, Questions That Remain Unanswered, and New Questions
Reply to this! what's something that you would drop pretty much anything you're doing to learn more about? A topic that, whenever you hear it mentioned, makes your ears perk up? :)
Coming into MIT two years ago, I had a number of these, some of which I've actually managed to pretty much exhaust: Maxwell's Equations, Entropy, Are there really problems that /can't/ be solved?
Some, I still have: Total internal reflection, Space filling curves, Quantum Uncertainty, How Memory Works.
And I've definitely picked up some new ones: Hashing, what makes a computation difficult, and a New level of awareness for how ridiculous Quantum is -
among others that I'm sure I just can't remember right now.
I'm not sure what triggered wanting to post this, maybe prepping classes and realizing that I was summarizing a fairly extensive body of knowledge that I simply didn't have two years ago. Wow, two years... this must be the post I'm writing because I just turned 20.
