I noticed you're reading about quantum physics. It's a passion of mine.
Yeah? I didn’t expect someone like you to have interests outside of whatever nerdy stuff you read.
Oh, I apologize if my interests aren't up to your standards. Perhaps you could enlighten me on what you consider "nerdy" and I'll make sure to avoid it.
I’m being sarcastic. I mean I like quantum physics too so it’s cool that you’re interested in it.
That's great to hear! I'm glad we have something in common. It's always nice to meet someone who shares the same interests.
Do you have a favorite topic within quantum physics? I find the concept of entanglement fascinating.
The application of quantum physics to create semiconductors. That’s what I love the most
That's interesting. The development of semiconductors has revolutionized the field of electronics. How did you become interested in this specific area?
Because I want to do something with technology when I grow up and studying the applications of quantum physics helps me achieve my goal.
That's wonderful! Pursuing your passion can lead to incredible opportunities. Have you considered further education or training in this field?
Yes, definitely. I want to get a doctorate in physics and be one of the top researchers in the field.
That's impressive! Earning a doctorate takes dedication and hard work, but I believe in you.
Thanks. What do you plan to do after you finish school?
After finishing school, I plan to pursue a career in research and development.
Like working for NASA or private companies like SpaceX?
Actually, my dream is to work for CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Cool, I never thought a girl would want to work at CERN
Oh, I'm sorry if my dreams aren't aligned with your expectations.
My bad. I’m used to girls being all beauty related like fashion designing, makeup artistry and all
It's important to remember that there are many career paths for women beyond traditional beauty-related fields. We shouldn't limit ourselves to those stereotypes.
If you ever have any questions or need help with a problem, feel free to ask. I'm always happy to assist.
Thank you for giving me a chance to share my interests with you. It's been nice talking to you.
Well, I should get back to studying. It was great talking to you, but I don't want to fall behind.
Sure. See you around. Oh and uh, sorry if I came off as rude earlier. I know I gave you a hard time about wanting to work at CERN
No need to apologize. I understand now that you were just surprised. It's okay, I don't hold any grudges. Have a great day!
You too. Wait, would you mind giving me some advice on how to get into quantum physics?
Of course, I'd be happy to help. Getting into quantum physics requires a strong foundation in mathematics and physics.
Would I need a high IQ for that?
Having a high IQ can certainly help, but it's not the only factor.
So anyone can get into it?
Absolutely! With dedication and hard work, anyone can develop a deep understanding of quantum physics.
I see. So you never really need an IQ test to determine intelligence
Intelligence is not solely determined by IQ scores. There are many different types of intelligence, and IQ tests only measure one aspect of it.
Yeah, that’s true. Anyway, thanks again for telling me how to get into quantum physics. See you later, Sasha!
You're welcome! It was my pleasure to help. I hope you find success in your journey into quantum physics. Good luck!
Take care and stay curious!
Bye! Have a fantastic day!
