As of the time I am writing this, the next day will be August 26th. This is Edward Witten's 66th birthday. Although, this may be published after that. I would like to write this article to thank Dr.Witten for his many aspiring contributions to Theoretical Physics.

Now you may be wondering who is Edward Witten or why do I care? Since I was around 10, I was always a fan of Dr.Witten. I started getting more into his books though as a teenager. My fascination in physics started young from the time of watching PBS's NOVA.

Today, Edward Witten is the literally one of the greatest Theoretical Physicist of the 21st century. His work is what led to M-Theory and a much bigger understanding of the origins of superstring theory, as well as unifying research in fields such as Quantum Gravity and entanglement.

Being able to understand hyperbolic space and topology is cool, but it also entails more then what meets the eye. This can lead to greater advancements in fields such as AI, Quantum Computing, Energy Storage, Nanotechnology, among others. Many people see it as just an understanding of natural phenomena. However, the higher we understand, the more we can innovate further. Scientific inquiry can lead us towards a more technologically modern civilization.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
