I have taken physics to Modern so I understand the basics of time and distance dialation. I don't understand what is distance is. It is always given by reference to something else, or tied together like in space time. The closest I've gotten to something I can understand, and answers my question...

The way my university words plagiarism is so vague that if they think that this isn't an original thought it would be considered plagiarism. . So push come to shove it would be dependent on my department/whoever sees it, after that is the chopping block.

I am currently thinking about joining another group. I have kept all the parts and revisions of the labs thus far on my part. What makes this feel very strange to me is that he can finish it so quickly. I have honor students saying they spend a solid 12 hours on the report, even then they aren't...

Not so much homework question, more about experience doing homework. You have likely had experience writing lab reports quite long. I have a partner and I am worried that he is doing what my university would consider plagiarism. I've asked him about it and got nothing back. To give context he...

So they look at the entire curriculum? So it is much more different than undergrad admission?

I am looking to go into physics for graduate study. In so doing I need to get a four year degree with a moderate gpa and test scores so I can have a choice. I end up with the problem of taking extra math courses for my physics degree to the point of almost double majoring. Because I find it...

Okay, so unlike an honor degree which gives breadth this degree gives you depth? What is the general though on taking graduate work before grad school? I've seen some places where they have to take it all over again because they were incompatible. Also, is it very common to see a "Professional"...

Thank you! I look forward to my stay!

Okay, so the university I am wanting to transfer to has a professional option of a bachelor's degree in physics and math. They are a little more rigorous it seems, but I don't understand why it is a professional degree. Is it some marketing b.s. that the university put forward? Is this like a...

Been creeping on the forum for quite a while now and decided to jump in. Currently undergrad physics major, hoping to go on to graduate work... eventually.
