    Is the job market good for astro physic majors or general physic majors?

    I am considering changing my major to Philosophy and Physics with a astrophysics minor, since my school doesn't offer astronomy and astrophysics as a major. My current major is biotechnology. I was reading some article that was a little scary, it is about how the job market for physicist isn't...

    What is the Best Way Forward in Astrophysics?

    I can see the lack of input is frustrating, i too am so frustrated about the lack of testable results, but that is of no concern, so long as there exists a way forward, what is the way we should go?

    Calculating Energy Released Per Proton & Mass Converted to Energy/sec

    H1 means hydrogen with mass 1, H2 means hydrogen with mass 2 (has a neutron), etc 1) H1 + H1 -> H2 + positron + neutrino + 1.18 Mev (+0.26MeV) 2) H1 + H2 -> He3 + photon + 5.49MeV 3) He3 + He3 -> He4 + 2*H1 + 12.86 MeV (The neutrino produced in 1 for all practical purposes do not...

    Calculating Neutrino Energy Released in Supernova 1987A using Flux and Distance

    The neutrino flux from supernova 1987A was estimated to be 1.3e14 m^-2 at the Earth. SN 1987A occurred in the Large Magellanic cloud, which is located at a distance of 50 kpc. If the average energy per neutrino was 4.2 MeV, estimate the amount of energy released in the form of neutrinos during...
