Created a quantum gravity theory as my UG research experience in theory. Then, next semester, I did research experience in quantum gravity experiment and verified that my theory from previous semester is real. In fact this interview was not Princeton University interviewing me, its me interviewing them. Why should I do a PhD when I already completed physics? Physics is over, guys. Move to chemistry.

Really happy to receive interviews from two professors. Premodern Chinese track. Wish everybody good luck!
