TechStars Startup Weekend

On September 29th, 2017, I attended the TechStars Startup Weekend that led by volunteer community leaders, located at Emerald Hub, PPIU Building. It lasted for three days and the theme of the events is “Education”. So, basically, the people that joined the event have to form a team and come up with ideas that would help to improve education in Cambodia. We have 54 hours to develop our idea and then pitch it to the judges. My team consisted of five members and had come up with an idea of helping the students to get real-life experience through field trips. We primarily organize field trips for students and let them gain real knowledge outside of the classroom through our website “TripRean“. Within those 54 hours of developing our idea, we received lots of advice from the mentor there in making our idea become reality. This was such a challenging experience for me to get involved in the business startup idea that we have to plan everything and follow the Canvas Business Model.

The Multiverse

Have you ever thought of Earth 2 or Earth 11….or Earth 19072? One of the projects that I’ve done in my physics class was doing research about the Multiverse. The multiverse is a theory in which there is a set of possible or multiple of universes that we live in. It was such a fascinating topic to me since there were many physicists that tried to prove that theory in many interesting ways. For an example, Hugh Everett III, had proposed the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) in 1957 to support the idea of the multiverse. There is also Schrödinger’s cat experiment (the cat nor dead or alive), which explained the possibility that there might be other universes. After looking at many theories and experiments in proving the possibility of the existence of the multiverse, I still can’t make any judgment on whether or not the multiverse is real. I mean, if the multiverse is real, I won’t be unique anymore since there are the countless version of me in other universes. Another cool thing is that it also makes time travel possible.
