Not only do I feel like I'm on the Wrong Planet, but I feel like I'm in the Wrong Time as well. I have so many ideas to change the world via scientific methods. I made calculations about them, researched them, and concluded most of them are 100% possible with today's technology. One of these ideas is a holographic circuit. It encodes photons with computer instructions for new forms of energy transfer.


Then I'm told to just concentrate on school even though I have grades as good as they can possibly be. I'm told to "just be a kid" when I know being a kid today isn't all that important to my interests.

I have the knowledge, but I feel deprived from someone who will listen to me and lend simple resources to make these concepts into reality. I just wish I had someone to talk to about these things.

I don't think Tesla had anyone he could talk to as a teen either. Just persevere.

A lot of famous thinkers didn't have their thoughts considered until after they were dead

Nasa has a .com website.
I don't know who the world space, science, trave and technology division is.

Some concepts for places you might want to address with your origional question, "I have this mind that does this type of thing; where can I go to work so that YOU can realize/work my potential?"



*From someone devoid of access to her own advice.
:D

Maybe the French or Bristish fields of scientific schooling?
Germany. Russia. The Swiss.

I was just backtracing a wimsical about how America loves to be infiltrated, trying to solve the nations problems in a completely unwanted and unemployable state, when I stumbled onto this and thought back to your post here.

Finding actuation for your ideas and what not.

The DIA defense intelligence agency appears to have an arm called the missle and space intellicence center (MSIC) in Huntsville Alabama http://www.dia.mil/thisisdia/intro/index.htm
They also have a medical department (which maybe it seems your concepts might find a fit in?)
Technology applied to medicine, ect.

If you applied the CIA's structure of employability to your student path as would function say somewhere like the DIA, then wherever you end up, I'm sure you'll do great.

Maybe you'll luck out and find some great mentor to underwing you.

(I do actually believe we already have the teleport type technology. I am not a trekky or science buff)

Why don't you break down your research interests to the present time and work on developing the resources that will make your long-term goals possible?

That's the tough thing about scientific research, it's generally incremental and based on the work of those before you. But just keep persevering, and as I said, don't compromise your dreams of invention and discovery, but there's no shame in starting small and working your way up to grander achievements.

Thanks for the advice guys. It is all very good advice, and I will put it into consideration for future tasks and goals. I sometimes think if Nikola Tesla, my idol, felt out of place in the 1880s-1940s.

I guess I should start out small yet big. Do something with the resources I have, but it gets me somewhat noticed at the same time. I was thinking of making a new type of physics model software (for software only requires a computer and a word document)

I sure hope you are writing down your ideas so you don't forget them. Ideas can make you rich and there are a lot of people who will steal your ideas to get the money themselves. Patents are the next step after you get trusted moral support. I am very proud of my inventions even though I got no credit for them.
