Hi George,

Thank you, everything is going well for me - and I'm sorry to hear that your days have been stressful, and I hope things got better for you. If there's anything I can help with, let me know.

Now it's my turn to apologize for the delay — I was on a family trip to Slovakia, so I had very little time as well. And please, don't worry about taking time to respond! And thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing my profile with your friends. I really appreciate it!

Regarding the theory of relativity and time, I completely agree with you — these topics are indeed fascinating! It’s amazing to think about higher dimensions, even if we may never be able to explore them directly. The more we learn about the universe, the closer we get to truly understanding it, and who knows? Maybe we'll even discover life beyond on the way.

What you mentioned about relearning the true history of Brazil is disheartening. Education is supposed to lay the foundation for our understanding of the world, but so often it's oversimplified, outdated or just simply wrong. I went through a similar experience in Ukraine, where even some of the best schools didn’t seem to get it right. Subjects like physics were either too complex for students not pursuing science or far too basic for those who were genuinely interested. I’ve always thought that if physics were introduced through engaging concepts, rather than just formulas, more students would appreciate and understand it.

As for your writing, I would love to read anything you decide to work on, and I think you should definitely submit to publications when you feel ready. I struggle with losing track of my thoughts sometimes too, so I find it helpful to create an outline before writing. Breaking down the main points and then adding details little by little makes the process much easier. I also recommend using DeepL Write — it’s great for polishing grammar, and it helped me to improve my English overall. ChatGPT makes the text sounds too complicated sometimes, but DeepL helps me to fix the mistakes without changing the lexicon.

You're right about The Three-Body Problem — it’s by Liu Cixin, and it's an incredible series. There are three books in total, and they explore humanity’s first contact with aliens, along with the political, scientific, and social consequences. I'm currently on the third book, and it’s one of the best sci-fi series I've ever read! There are visual adaptations too, like the Chinese series and the upcoming Netflix one, but in my opinion, the books are way better. The Chinese series felt a bit slow (although I still liked it), and the Netflix one rushed through a lot of the fascinating details.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you get around to reading it!
