My whole PhD in math was<br><br>"F&^K this, I'm going fishing..."<br><br>And then solving it while threading hooks, chasing bait, and sitting on a rock watching the water lap.

it reminds me how zoning out allows the brain to actually work behind the scenes when one hasnt had enough sleep, in a similar manner to dreams as in the video!

The more rigorously trained we are, the greater bias we impose upon novel thoughts.

Funfact: Poincaré proposed the principle of Relativity, that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames before Einstein. His contribution is never mentioned because his reasoning was flawed.

Back in my bachelor's, I was a really good student, and there was this result that just given to be taken as granted which usually the case for physics , so decided to derive it using the known mathematics spend weeks and 10 pages later I derived it.. Shown it to my mathematics professor and she said you should have been a math major…. Now 10 years later, am dumb as a potato 😢😢😢😢😢

Points of insight after thinking REALLY hard about a problem. 1. Getting up and going to the water fountain. 2. Taking a nap. 3. (Most frustrating) Turning in the examination paper.
