Hold on tight fellow sufferer! We'll get there... Don't let em make you quit...
The absurdity and irrationality of academia has made my year spectacular. Since this post has strayed off a bit... I'll give you a couple of fun stories.
1) Don't ask me how I managed to do so but this year I...

Hi fellow PF members,
I am an undergrad physics student in the last year of my degree. This year has been pretty sh**** as I have been rejected from 17/17 US universities that I had applied to for a PhD program. As a good and organized scientist though I had a backup plan. As I didn't really...
Both geometrically and algebracaly the case is pretty obvious. What I am asking again is if this fact has some sort of physical significance. Does it represent something or is it some sort of restriction upon something? That king of thing, if this is any more helpful...
Hello everybody, recently in my quantum mechanical course we were introduced to the concept of the quantum harmonic oscillator. My question is: is there a physical significance attached to the fact that the classical turning points overlap with the sign change of the second derivative of the...
I will have a look at what you suggested and thanks for the information. A dean of science here in the UK pretty much translates as the Head of the Department. I had a talk about all these with the head of my physics department and all he is doing is pretty much the same as whatever any other...
Hello,
I am a 2nd year undergraduate student BSc (Hons) Physics at QMUL and simultaneously I am undertaking a BSc (Hons) in psychology with the Open University. I intend to proceed with an MSc and a PhD before I head out for a career. It's been a few months that I have started researching...
