No one understands any natural phenomena because no one understands the physical basis of reality. If you kept asking, “Why?” to an engineer/physicist/biologist,etc., at some point, they would respond with “I don’t know.”

So? Reductionism is shit. Engineers dont care about what happens at the absolute bottom fundamental level. It's not a matter of laziness, it's just not relevant to their purpose l.

I already have a degree in mechanical engineering, and I am now studying medicine (yes, formally, as in I went to a Tech School for one and am now going to a Uni for the other and am looking to go to medschool). After I finish up with medicine, I’m going to start working a job like an NP to start raking in the money to start working on personal projects and even further study.

I am looking to try to pioneer the field of nanomedicine; using nanotechnology and genetic engineering to cure diseases and solve problems on a microscopic, technological scale. And if I fail, then so be it-- at least I will have left some work and thoughts behind for others to build off of and filled my life with something to keep my busy instead of useless and depressed.

I do kind of have this nihilistic view that I’m not going to accomplish anything and none of my studies matter, or at best I’ll end up stumbling upon some revolutionary technology and end up getting assinated by some bureaucrat/aristocrat.
But otherwise no, not really.

I’m 28, and still pursuing those idealistic dreams. The most likely reason is probably just because I haven’t hit any roadblocks yet, I have yet to encounter something that proves my direction wrong. Sure, I’ve encountered resistance from people saying I won’t amount to anything or maybe I shouldn’t do what I’m doing, but I still have yet to see anything or talk to anyone that even nearly debunks my goal. So I’m still going.

Anywhere in the UK - Archaeoastronomy is kinda frowned upon (as in the past it had connotations with Astrology and other shite like that) but it's taking off again.

I recommend Kent if you want lecturers in Archaeoastronomy - notably Efrosyni Boutsikas (she's the local specialist).
