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.

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

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...

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.

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.

I am a MSc student and I am looking for a place to do my PhD in Physics Beyond the Standard Model (Theoretical side). Any suggestions for a place to apply?. I know that there are the traditional elite places like MIT, Standford, Berkeley and so on but I am looking for other suggestions given...

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)...

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...

I am going to do the GRE subject test: physics, and I would like to know if any of you have some advises to study for this test, as well as books to use to prepare for this test. Also if you have already done the test it would be helpful to know about your experience.

He is working in IBM

Is Charles Bennett one of the most prominent physicists alive?? I have been receantly introducing to quantum information and I have found that C. Bennett is almost in every publication or at least in a very considerable part of publications in information theory, which seems to be gaining a lot...

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.

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 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...

I live in Mexico and I am about to begin my PhD. Here in Mexico the standard books for a Msc or first terms of a PhD are almost the same in every univesity in Mexico. For example the Msc traditional program is something like this: First Year - Classical Mechanis-- with Goldstein's Book -...
