My 4-month experiment with physics without making it complicated

The detail that surprised me was how much the library changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where research stopped feeling new.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Science feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
