Excellent! That's just the answer I was looking for :biggrin: Thanks for the illumination, G01

Ahahaha, it's so true!

If you're asking the question solely because you would like people to see that you're a "physicist" and then drool in awe before you :bugeye: and I'd never be that selfish!

:cry: So...so beautiful.

Good point. by "physicist," I meant a researcher who is known as a physicist (and I know that this definition has become very vague over the past century) who may or may not be a professor. the reason I ask is, I've seen many "Physicist" job descriptions saying that in order to be a physicist...

I know that one usually has to earn a Ph.D in Physics to be recognized as a Physicist (if they choose that career). How lenient is this? That is, how easy is it to be a Physicist with only an MS? Or does the usually in "usually has to earn a Ph.D" not mean anything?

I consider Multiplication to be grouping. it's true that it IS an extension of addition, but I don't like thinking of it that way. Consider the basic formula for Work : W = Fd what many physics students fail to understand is the concept behind the formula...that A force F is being applied to...

^I mean that I have had some issues with that before

When I write the most basic of codes, it will not run, per se. Perhaps it was/is a syntax error? I'm just starting to learn Perl, so I'm not sure how exactly it (the syntax) is set up. Give me a sample line for me to run, and I'll see if it works.It might be as basic as a PRN issue as well

I don't know if this is the right forum to be asking this, but I have been having some problems with the Strawberry Perl that I downloaded. Whenever I try to write lines of code, it will not work, and it moves on to the next line, without an error comment, or anything. Is this because it is...

I am a high school student with a strong interest/aptitude in Physics. Recently, I have been considering the possibility of earning (remember, this is hypothetical) a Ph. D in Physics, but I am not sure of what is required, or what the coursework is like (whenever I look online, I can never get...

What do thoughts do you have on M-theory? It's credibility? Also, is there evidence that these supposed membranes exist?

What is meant when one says that everything we see is the lowest vibrations of the strings (According to String Theory)? I understand the very fundamental concepts of this theory, like how it only works in 10 dimensions, but the above statement confuses me.

Could someone please explain the basics of quantum electronics, as well as it's applications and involvement with semiconductor lasers?

Okay, cool. :D Thanks for the response. (Also, I like your analogy)
