    Ever Thought of Quitting Your PhD?

    Have you ever felt like you want to throw everything away? I'm mean, for those of you who are PhD's, have you ever felt like just leaving you degree and go and do something else? Would be nice to hear some good reflections.

    String Theory Review for Beginner Graduate Students

    Hi, I've been looking for a string theory review for a beginner graduate student. However, there is a vast number of reviews so it's easy to get lost. Does anyone know about a review article or any kind of material to begin with String Theory? Thanks.

    Good reviews about dark matter candidates?

    Anyone knows about a good review of dark matter candidates? I want to learn about that but I would like to have a good review to start, any suggestion? Perhaps at an introductory level but if you have something advanced is more than welcomed. Books, papers, anything. Thanks

    Is there an age to begin a PhD?

    Yeah. sometimes I feel so much pressure given that sometimes I have a guy 4 or even 5 years younger than me on the same level. So that makes you feel that you are getting older. But I guess that you are right, not everyone has the same oportunnities to keep studying without stopping. Does anyone...

    Is there an age to begin a PhD?

    Thank you all for telling your experiences. This question came to me because I have seen the carreers of some remarkable physicists and for some reason I thought that maybe I am out of the age to begin a PhD in physics, but it is good to hear of all those good histories. thank you.

    Is there an age to begin a PhD?

    For some circumstances in my life I was not able to give steady continuation to my studies, so now I want to do a PhD but I have seen that some people finish their PhD by the age of 26-28. I am 25 so my question is: Am I too old to start a PhD? Thank you.

    Troubles learning Quantum field theory.

    My professor is following Srednicki's Quantum Field Theory. I find it very nice nevertheless sometimes is not so great. I think that nowadays we are very lucky to have so many sources of books and learning material in the internet. For instance, I think that Peskin (Introduction to QFT)...

    Troubles learning Quantum field theory.

    Hi everyone, I'm having a lot of troubles learning QFT, personally I find it very challenging, besides that my professor has a very difficult accent and given that I'm not an English native speaker it is really hard for me to follow him. I would like to hear your experience learning QFT, Was it...

    Electric field of a sphere whit a cavity inside

    Thank you, I did it wrong because I didn't choose a good reference frame, but the good thing is that I had the idea.

    Electric field of a sphere whit a cavity inside

    Hi, I calculated the electric field of a sphere of radius r with a volumen density charge \rho and also it has inside of it a spherical cavity and its center is situated in r/2 with radius r/2, so I calculated the electric field of the sphere with the cavity inside and I get E=\frac{\rho...

    Is Position Really a Vector in Classical Mechanics?

    Is the position a vector? Today I had a lecture on classical mechanics and the professor talked about vectors and how do we use them in physics to describe some physical quantities as velocity and acceleration. But he was very insistent about the idea that the position it is not a vector, that...
