Oh it's interesting....for sure

I'm really big into that, I got my copy of The Starflight Handbook in the shelf LOL

30 Jun 01:58

Amit Dutta

Phenomenally high lol

30 Jun 01:58

John

I guess you got yourself your own P.H.D. A Pretty High Dutta.

30 Jun 01:58

Amit Dutta

Nope. Not so so big into propulsion mechanisms...I'm not a rocket scientist :p

30 Jun 01:57

Amit Dutta

At the time I was too high on pschedelics to do a phd

30 Jun 01:57

Mechanizoid

Hey, Amit, you ever heard of Eugene Sanger and his ideas about photon rockets?

30 Jun 01:57

John

... Not sure if joking or mind blowing..

30 Jun 01:56

Amit Dutta

Nah, mostly its focused on research and academia though

30 Jun 01:56

Mechanizoid

Hmm, didn't think of it that way.

30 Jun 01:56

Amit Dutta

True. Simulation model experi3nce s are good for modelling financial market behavioirs

30 Jun 01:55

John

Huh.. that's a sharp turn..

30 Jun 01:55

Mechanizoid

@Amit LMAO

30 Jun 01:55

Mechanizoid

It's important in astronomy and cosmology.

30 Jun 01:55

Amit Dutta

Investment bankers

30 Jun 01:55

John

If not NASA, who else need astrophysics?

30 Jun 01:55

Mechanizoid

So did I

30 Jun 01:55

Amit Dutta

I literally wanted to be an astronaut

30 Jun 01:54

Mechanizoid

But I guess NASA has astrophysicists too

30 Jun 01:54

Amit Dutta

Bahaha, only if I can draw myself onto a spaceshuttle as the pinup mascot

30 Jun 01:54

Mechanizoid

More pure than applied science, I think, right Amit?

30 Jun 01:54

John

@Amit: Holy shit! You're working your way into NASA?

30 Jun 01:53

Mechanizoid

I'm learning calculus myself to understand more science

30 Jun 01:53

Mechanizoid

Really cool shit

30 Jun 01:53

Amit Dutta

Loved that stuff

30 Jun 01:53

Mechanizoid

Or the orbital dynamics of a planetary system.

30 Jun 01:53

Amit Dutta

Yeah cosmology big questions and more mechanical stuff, like stellar evolution etc

30 Jun 01:53

Mechanizoid

Or what happens inside a star when it is becoming a red giant.

@Loader: Bring a marker! Draw on the walls of the stall!

30 Jun 01:52

Amit Dutta

I also got a programming degree, and I was a 3d animator for a while

30 Jun 01:52

Mechanizoid

An astrophysicist deals with the physics of astronomical events, like stars getting consumed by black holes and shit.

30 Jun 01:52

John

What does an astrophysicist do?
