Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things To low ambition and the pride of Kings. Let us, since life can little more supply Than just to look about us and to die, Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man; A mighty maze! but not without a plan; A wild, where...

could you put that into a formula? thank you ;) i am a terrible comedian.

I read for hours, even days, everything metaphysics, metamatemathics, all the great novels 'brothers karamazov', it was entertaining and painful, I've been forced everything and I never found my passion, I always felt incomplete. Until I went through a phase, I started questioning dualism, what...

i am not academic material... i could learn for hours on my own, it does great for me, but not for the system. I've always felt like this, I was always in good schools because I could pass tests, I've never been under so much 'academic scrutiny'. It's brainwash, old fashioned, it's MORE MORE...

american heritage. it's a great book. :)

I could also go to a community college and take some physics courses, if they are available. I'd be cruising by, compared to how these courses are, but it's way more cheaper and I could use the extra time. Then go to a public school, work on my gpa, and do it the right way. it's never too late...

Plato, the great Greek philosopher, wrote a series of `Dialogues' which summarized many of the things which he had learned from his teacher, who was the philosopher Socrates. One of the most famous of these Dialogues is the `Allegory of the Cave'. In this allegory, people are chained in a cave...

one is conditioned and mechanical, while the other is artistic and unexpected :)

I had thought of philosophy with Math minor. However, I do need to support myself, and I need to solve problems...mathematically. Philosophy supplements these findings, but it is in the equations where we find the truth. I have to know all the mathematics that I could use... If I were to take...

There is a simple answer to your question. Because I am, for better or worse, an International student in the US. As an international F1 visa student you must have enough money to pay for an education and I chose business, naively. Sophomore year I discovered Quantum Theory and I had a very...

I am in a very sticky situation with academia, at the moment, in order to graduate on time I might not be able to major in Physics. My options have dissipated to a few alternative options, so here we shall ponder on my desire to learn physics. I want to work on Quantum Gravity and Advanced...

Ask yourself why you want to study Physics? I don't see why you cannot puruse Physics in India. Not everyone can come to the U.S. This doesn't mean that you should frown upon your other options. You don't have to study physics in the US - Understand that education in America is a 'business'...

good.

I don't think you should approach it in this way, work hard, do what you love, meditate and live peacefully. the rest will come to you. i've met some of the greatest minds, from the best "schools", and one thing that we have in common is that regardless of were we are, we do what we love and do...

Thank You! And, yes going out for long walks does wonders to your back.
