(1) [Turing tape] You need an idea notebook. It is provable that Turing machines with more tape can carry out more complex algorithms. Without a notebook, you forget the beginnings of all your potentially great ideas, and with a notebook you can systematically build on your idea, not losing where you were once you set the work down. From about 1998 I have about 26 notebooks; I split each page into two vertical strips, and write small. (2) [Open-minded] Do not aim to solve some specific problem. In fact, do not even confine your brainstorming to any particular sub-discipline. Sometimes it is easier to make an important discovery in a field when you are somewhat ignorant, because you don’t know what “everyone knows." However, once you think there is some potential, you can’t give up too early. Note that sometimes the best way to motivate yourself to learn a discipline is when you have your own idea first.

PROJECT has a wide range of engaging multimedia and hands-on materials to introduce the exciting world of particle physics to kids ages 7 and up, and their families. We feel that kids of all ages, even adults, can learn about the subatomic world where the rules of quantum physics apply if they are presented in a fun and engaging way. We've created many resources on this site to help you, your kids, and/or your students learn about quarks – the smallest things that scientists know the universe is made of - as well as other science topics. Use the buttons on the left to investigate online games and activities. For more information on the Quarked!
