Yeah.

So, um, A, um, I read a lot of, um, uh, physics.

So I mean, I had been a fan of popular physics.

Mm.

I had read Brief History of Time numerous time as a kid.

Um, I've been reading Selfish Gene, so I had like a big fascination for popular science ever since I was a kid.

But over a period of time, I started feeling dissatisfied by the level of explanation those books have, right? So when, for example, in Brief History of Time, uh, Stephen Hawking talks about that a massive objects warps space-time, uh, it, it feels nice for the first time, but when you really think about what does warping really mean, how can like a, a mass do that? It feels like that's like an understanding, uh, stopper in some sense-

Mm

... because you just can't go beyond that.

Uh, so I wanted to get into the math of it.

I wanted to see what does it really mean when, let's say, a mass warps space-time or like there's a time dilation, and so on and so forth.

So in my sabbaticals, I literally sort of just went very deep into math.

I picked up, you know, books on special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, and s-what-- and then sort of decided to understand what the heck are these things about.

And, uh, eventually wrote a lot on my Obsidian made notes, and I felt very satisfied.

I felt that finally I understood.

So my goal in my sabbaticals was there was a Wikipedia page which says, you know, list of unsolved problems in physics.

I think it has about thirty, forty unsolved problems.

My goal was to understand what those unsolved problems were about.

To have like a pre-- of course, not solve them, but to be able to understand them, you had to build a sufficient amount of background knowledge.

That's awesome.

Um, started meditation, also started health.

I just thought that life is much more about just growing a company.

I've always been like that, you know, just been very curious and, uh, wanted to have like a wholesome experience of life and not really that, uh, unidimensional growth for growth's sake kind of a thing.

Do you still do meditation?

I do.
