episode 8
this is a very interesting subject and i felt the answers weren’t sufficient
please please please get Dr Dan Siegel on the shoe to explain these queries in a more in depth way - no offense to the guest
long time fan and follower of yours.
there is a young astrophysicist who wrote 3 hard science fiction novels by the age of 16! He was 14, 15, and 16 when he wrote them, edited them himself, and self published. I read all 3 and they are really great. They could easily be movies and all the science is real. his name is Max R. Rudin. I would love to hear you interview this brilliant kid. He wrote “A Truly Dead Rock” at 14, and during the pandemic he wrote “A Bottled Up Flame” and “A Somewhat Odd Start” all by the age of 16, and while getting a perfect SAT score, and making science and math videos on his You Tube channel “Graviton Media”.
He is like a junior you. I’ve never seen anyone besides you and him who have this kind of passion for science and astrophysics. Please have him on your show. He is a Freshman at Rice now majoring in Physics. It would blow my mind to hear your 2 minds together in discussion. Please, please, please. Kids like this give me hope for the future.
I love it so much.
