Assuming this is true, she'll make herself famous, or she won't. Don't praise people for what they could do, but for what they have done and are doing.
You mean like the Kardashians. They TOTALLY deserve their fame. Yet people don't know the names of scientists spending their lives searching for cures to disease or alternative fuels ect. Unfortunately fame is no longer built on merit but branding and publicity, which is exactly what this post is trying to achieve.
I don't give a damn about the Kardashians.
If scientists are looking for fortune, glory, and dick/pussy or both, then they're in the wrong line of work.
I am not gonna get exited for what a person might do, I might be intrigued by what they intend to do, but the only things that matter are what has been done, and what is being done.
Fame was never based on merit, but history has a better track record with it.
No one said they were looking for any of those things. They do however need notoriety in order to gain funding for their work or they cannot do the work, that's simply how it is.
You obviously do not understood how any of their world works. Their work requires massive funding, funding is limited so they require backers or investors, much like inventors. Its hard to get money if no one knows who you are or what you are working on.
If she wants to be the next Einstein 1) 99.9% of her time she is going to be dealing with hypotheticals and crunching her way through extremely complicated math, not running a lab. 2) If she's that brilliant, the funding will come to her. you don't think going to MIT and wrecking every course you take doesn't get you noticed?
Leave her alone. If she does become the next Einstein she's not going to want to be badgered constantly, she's going to want peace so she can fucking work and actually become the next Einstein.
I did a 5 minute Google search last time this was posted and found that most of this is half right. Stephen Hawking cited her in a paper, she built the plane from a kit at 14 and flew it at 16, etc.
