I was working on Physics Olympiads Asia and was looking at the first question, 2000 Indonesia.
The question is about eclipses of Jupiter.
While working on the first problem, I deduced the formula(somewhat accurately) on how a satellite orbits. Took me only like 5 seconds.
I never studied this... I check my British A levels textbook and sure enough, the textbook says the same thing. It gives the exact formula I came up in my head.
This is the formula which NASA uses to send satellites into space to orbit the earth.
I tell my dumb ENFJ mom and show this to her. Not a word of encouragement... No pride in having a highly intelligent offspring.
I am extremely depressed, so I went downstairs to the corner shop to drown my sorrow with beer.
