Research related to National Defense are usually kept confidential, and corporations have an incentive to not share there research to maintain competitive with their competitors. Neither of these seem out of the ordinary regardless of where you are on the globe.

Not sure. Didn’t watch the whole show and it was quite awhile ago. He did discuss his research regarding black holes.

Surprises me even more because it is VOA.

The kids who stop at highschool or go into a trade really don’t get that level of problem solving and critical analysis.

Is it surprising to you that people can spend their free time independent of their political paradigm?

It is not secret that the US has attracted talented academics for many years. I am sure that these kinds of advertisements are not new.
