Demystifying Quantum Physics
Two things never fail to fascinate me: the vastness of infinite space and the bizarre behavior of the tiniest particles known to science. In this note, I’ll focus on the latter — a phenomenon so mind-bending that it feels like it belongs in science fiction: superposition. Particles in Superposition: Being in Many States at Once…

Solutions Exist Before Problems
In life, we often view problems as obstacles, when in fact they are simply part of how the world works. Often, a problem is only perceived by the person experiencing it—others may not see it as a problem at all. Most of the time, we can’t avoid problems coming our way. But as humans—with the…

Curiosity
There’s a famous quote that suggests that curiosity must have a reason for its existence. While there are innumerable reasons for something to exist, curiosity is undeniably one of them. It’s a precious gift that allows us to acquire wisdom about various subjects. When an individual frequently harnesses their curiosity to gain insight, they are…
