    You know what classes your average classical physics degree doesn't have? Fucking materials science courses, because that is apprently just for schmucks who deal with the actual industrial applications of technology.

    Fuck this is so stupid.

      He also got only a bachelors. I know that that does not give you much insight, but the idea that stuff is easy, since the material that is presented is supposed to give you an overview of the canon of physics.

      So most things that are hard or unsolvable aren't really getting space. That is what the masters 2 years are for and more importantly the PhD and time afterwards.

          does he even have a bachelors tho? I thought he dropped out and got an honorary degree because the investors thought it looked bad

            He seems to have gotten them in 1997, but it also seems that he claimed to have degrees years before that. So he is again a liar. That said he graduated cum laude, which really isn't good for physics degrees and even worse for business degrees - if you are a genius that is.
