Study: Heavy drinking, smoking make people look prematurely old.
How do I get one of these grants? I was thinking a study on bikini colors in various regions of the world.
Since you have no credentials at all for scientific research, nor any idea of how it is undertaken, or any idea of the ruled concerning how the money from a grant is spent, there is no chance at all of you getting such a grant. They are not given to fools.
Pfft. How do you know my credentials?
Besides, what were the credentials of a Swiss Patent office clerk in 1905 who wrote 4 papers that shook the world?
I have plenty of credentials for bikini watching and can even remember to write down my findings once in a awhile.
Contrary to popular belief, Einstein never failed math He had learned
integral and
differential calculus on his own before he was 15 years old.

In 1895, at the age of 16, Einstein took the entrance examinations for the
Swiss Federal Polytechnic in
Zürich (later the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, ETH). He failed to reach the required standard in the general part of the examination,
[22] but obtained exceptional grades in physics and mathematics.
[23] On the advice of the principal of the Polytechnic, he attended the
Argovian cantonal school (
gymnasium) in
Aarau, Switzerland, in 1895–96 to complete his secondary schooling. While lodging with the family of professor Jost Winteler, he fell in love with Winteler's daughter, Marie. (Albert's sister
Maja later married Winteler's son Paul.)
[24] In January 1896, with his father's approval, Einstein renounced his
citizenship in the German Kingdom of Württemberg to avoid
military service.
[25] In September 1896, he passed the Swiss
Matura with mostly good grades, including a top grade of 6 in physics and mathematical subjects, on a scale of 1–6.
[26] At 17, he enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the Zürich Polytechnic. Marie Winteler, who was a year older, moved to
Olsberg, Switzerland, for a teaching post.

Damned solid credentials!
