      We do learn a lot in school, depending on what you consider as 'learning'
      And 'medium do not matter' is a realisation that you reach at a later stage in life.
      A lot of us get bullied for not being able to speak proper/fluent English while growing up and it leads up to a lot of insecurities. And those doesn't go away easily in absence of external validation.

    What a pleasure to see this interview of two outstanding examples of scientists who are obviously very learned in their field who remain personable and honest to the ideals of the scientific method. In business, it is often stated that all publicity - intentional or unintentional - is still publicity. Perhaps Science needs to give in that philosophy in these times of click-bait, popularity, and social “media” we now all unfortunately find ourselves in.

  • @stevengiuseppetti6555
    @stevengiuseppetti6555 2 месяца назад +4

    Thank you for helping them share their story. I have deep respect for these physicists. I think theres a trend of science, math and physics becoming increasingly abstract and esoteric while simultaneously the education standards here in the US continue to decline. The result is a growing mistrust among the average people of science in general, we saw this explode during covid. As this mis-trust continues to grow I think we need a renewed effort to help average people globally connect with our great minds like Saha and Sinha. We need more communicators and networks for communication to connect the most abstract advanced research with the most common denominator in order to spread trust as much as possible to the greatest number of people.
    Its difficult to simplify things but its also part of the communication process and we need the general population to understand the importance of work like this as this work becomes increasingly impactful on our everyday lives. The more alienated the gen pop is from science and math, the greater the distrust and greater the resistence to advancement.
