In December 2020, the idea of RAP came to life and was posted on the founder's website, youssef15015.github.io. The initial goal was "to create resources created by and for students that enable the freedom of teaching and research in a comfortable environment free from the restrictions and impediments faced by the common Physics graduate student due to the lack of support of the American higher education system". In the Fall of 2021, the organization started a lecture series hosted on rapcorp.us. This series included lectures presented by Gavin Nop, an expert on Quantum Information. The club's ideas to create a positive learning environment for Physicists were heavily impeded and it was clear that Iowa State University did not welcome our organization's chapter. On 11/19/2022, RAP published an article on Quantum Computers, written by its founder, Youssef Eweis, for which the paper elaborates on the techniques used by PennyLane and Xanadu. Since that article was published, Jason Saroni started obtaining certifications released by Pennylane. Both Jason Saroni and I Chi Chen, the former treasurer of the now-deceased chapter of RAP at Iowa State University (https://lnkd.in/gf2i-2VG), have been honored with a remarkable, international, and historical achievement. The Iowa State University administration does not have any idea what these students achieved and would likely take all the credit for it if they were informed about it. This achievement is greater than any of those posted on the Iowa State University Physics Faculty's news page. This achievement portrays a historical benchmark in the fight of good versus evil, in the fight of honest hard-working scientists versus corrupt bureaucratic organizations, and for the dream of Physicists restoring the tides of power within humanity to a natural and peaceful balance. Despite the propaganda, the censorship, the extortion attempts, the brainwashing of many Iowa citizens, the corrupt invasions through political candidates and within corporations, and the historical evidence of raiding land from the University of Iowa (the Iowa City university formerly known as Iowa State University), the current Iowa State University has failed to silence those who seek prosperity and justice through science and has failed to illegally terminate RAP through undeniable corruption. This is only the beginning of a long battle of good versus evil, for which a strong American core seeks to purify the lands of North America.

I am thrilled to share some good news. Thanking my team members for hardwork, creativity, and patience, I Chi Chen, Nouhaila I., and Suman Kumar Roy, as our team placed 1st in the QHack open hackathon Bridging the gap category. With thousands of participants and over 90 countries represented, QHack is known as a one-of-a-kind world renowned quantum hackathon. It's a unique experience🌟. The challenge we chose was to design an algorithm to find the spectral gap, the gap between the ground and first excited states, that of course has a range of important applications. Check it out here https://lnkd.in/dwriYaVi Thank you to the QHack team at Xanadu for making this experience possible and thank you again for formulating always enjoyable challenges. We learned a lot on what we find most interesting. We also placed 7th with over 700 teams in the coding challenges, great work again to my talented team. Lastly congratulations to all teams that put in significant effort🎉. #QHack2024

What development opportunities are available at RAP? We offer many subscription programs that diverge from the traditional introductory Physics course that we believe has abandoned many of the core principles emphasized by historical progressive Physicists. We emphasize how Physics can be used to harness one's natural resources and strive for independence without the help of economic resources, attuning to a person's natural survival cycle. Sign up today for one of our programs to better understand and unleash your natural survival instincts that humanity has depended on for the majority of human history. Coming soon, Cyber Essential and RAP Survival Certificates! "By studying Physics and Astronomy at Dordt University, you’ll explore the theories that describe physical reality. You’ll uncover surprising and satisfying insights into the beauty of Creation. You’ll learn to design experiments, build mathematical and computer simulations, and create models that describe and predict physical behaviors of the world around us" (https://lnkd.in/gB2HdN6b). "At first, the teaching of physics wasn't very good. Both physics and astronomy were taught at the University of Nebraska since the University first opened its doors to students in 1871. However, studying science at that time was considered only as training for the mind, rather than as preparation for a career in the subject. A succession of teachers of varying competence in physics taught the few courses that were offered. The first was a Lutheran minister named Samuel H. Aughey who at least had the distinction of having worked under Joseph Henry at the Smithsonian Institution. Aughey, as one of only four faculty members at that time, taught all of the courses in chemistry, physics, astronomy, botany, and geology, and even some of the courses in German! The teachers of physics in the first 10 or 15 years were basically pedagogues rather than professional physicists. Teaching consisted of recitations by the students of material memorized from their textbooks; there were no lectures, discussions, or laboratories" (https://lnkd.in/g639SRTH).

It's been over one year since we posted our launch comment 🎉. It was nice acknowledging the non-public affirmation and support of this post. Non-public due to fearing those who do not want it posted, as is described in the original post. We will periodically repost this to prevent the message from being lost. We hope that the repostings overcome the perturbations that make you want to forget.
AMERICAN FACTS "I was a scholar, a specialist. Then suddenly, I was plunged into all the new activity, as the university was drawn into the new situation; meetings, conferences, interviews, ceremonies, and above all, papers to be filled out, reports, bibliographies, lists, questionnaires. And on top of that were the demains in the community, the things in which one had to, was 'expected to' participate that had not been there or had not been important before. It was all rigmarole, of course, but it consumed all one's energies, coming on top of the work one really wanted to do. You can see how easy it was, then, not to think about fundamental things. No one had no time." (They Thought They Were Free, The Germans, 1933-45). Neil Turok says that Physicists today "write a lot of papers, build a lot of [theoretical] models, hold a lot of conferences, cite each other - you have all the trappings of science ... But for me, physics is all about making successful predictions. And that's been lacking. All of the theoretical work that's been done since the 1970s has not produced a single successful prediction". Is this true? It is probably arguable, especially from a philosopher's perspective. All in all, Neil Turok was the director of physics at Perimeter Institute, which is evidently one of the strongest physics institutes in the world. Furthermore, I do not agree with Neil Turok's statement for he can not claim knowledge of all the work that has been done. No new physics has been revealed to the academic community according to his perception. The academic community I had been exposed to in the US is not a home for academics and is not susceptible to revealing Physics solutions. Despite working with extraordinary people from other countries, one cannot really compare non-capitalist programs in non-capitalist countries with non-capitalist programs that exist in "capitalist" countries. The Hundred Yard Lie: The Corruption of College Football and What We Can Do to Stop It, by Laurie M. Thornton, reviews Rick Telander's book, which expresses the corruption and solutions of College Football by an ex-college football writer for Sports Illustrated. She states that "the commercialization of college football has led to a reversal of the student-athlete to the athlete-student, whose interests in attending school are only because he [or she] has to meet eligibility requirements", (really all students). The recommended solution seems a bit naive as it depends on the belief that university heads actually have the power to stand up to college sports' corruption. Furthermore, the reason we lack revelations since the 1970s, at least in the US, is not due to a lack of ability but due to a lack of courage. It has become dangerous to confront college athletics, "a predatory system that focuses its attacks only on the successful" (Thornton). "American Institutions are terrorizing America since the average football fan pays the bill to do so" (AMERICAN FACTS, RAP).
