"Just imagine" = "demand"?

OK, just image what discoveries you and I would have made and given to science if we developed our minds to the same extent as Newton. If only we had devoted our lives to "true science". We would both be geniuses.

That is a very nice fantasy. But unfortunately I never developed my mind to the same extend as Newton. Nor have I ever make any contributions to science. What a shame.

How about you?

Since I'm confident that I'm not as smart as Newton, any discoveries I would have made would most likely have been much more minor in nature. I can't speak for you, not knowing you sufficiently.

If only we had devoted our lives to "true science".

I'm curious, why would you put that in quotes?

We would both be geniuses.

Only if we were geniuses to begin with.

I have one real regret about my life; while I majored in physics in college, I never completed my degree. This was entirely my fault (lack of discipline). Had I completed my studies, I might well have become a scientist.

I think it is a shame.
