Similar to my story, my GPA at Cisco Jr. College was around 1.8 during my first shot at college. After returning to school, earning a few degrees, and getting the chance to teach computer science for a few semesters at SRSU, I didn't pay much attention to grades. I came across this and thought I would share it. Determination and the passion to discover are what matter most, not grades, accolades, or awards. Those things are nice, but will never compare to one's natural determination to keep exploring. Discover more friends!

Have you ever heard of the Hollow Earth "theory" or other geological misconceptions? Join us as we delve deep into these intriguing myths and explore how some pseudo-science has evolved into legitimate scientific inquiry.

Unearthing the foundations of these myths, we discuss the Hollow Earth theory and other geological misconceptions that have captured the human imagination for centuries. From hollow Earths to subterranean realms, these ideas have sparked curiosity and sometimes even bafflement.

However, as we venture further into our discussion, we reveal the incredible process by which pseudo-science can, in some instances, transform into validated scientific theory. You'll gain a profound understanding of the sheer dedication and meticulous work that scientists invest in turning hypotheses into rigorously tested theories.
