Jedishrfu seems to be an outstanding person, very friendly indeed. I really enjoy reading his posts.. Hopefully his mentor duties won't get in the way of his great posts!

Welcome mate! Nice nickname.

One of them is the Poyinting vector: ##\vec {S} = \dfrac {1}{\mu_0}(\vec{E} \times \vec{B})## (It's the energy per unit time per unite area)

I like to use img.bi or mediacru.sh. However, I'm a privacy nut and those are privacy oriented services..

I would be interested in hearing more about why you didn't succeed in college at first.. Perhaps you've some post in PF that already talks about that?

@Gurasees, In what grade are you in? If you're already majoring in Physics, you should have the required math classses for now. If not, I'd take a look at a Physics program and see what kind of math they learn...

This is interesting. Thank you both! However, I've noticed that when I'm motivated my work is of much better quality than when I'm not.. Let's say motivated me takes 15mins to understand something. Unmotivated me takes 2hours.

I think this video might come handy to OP:

I'm not sure how to answer that question.. I guess I'm a bit unmotivated about everything and yes, finals are coming up! Sometimes when I see physics related movies/videos I get quite motivated for a while.. Need to find something to watch! The other day, after watching the new Hawking movie, I...

I think everyone once in a while becomes unmotivated. It's probably even more common in physics majors.. So, what do you do when that happens to you? Do you watch videos? Read books? Something else? What?

Hum... Indeed.. Would it be possible to disable in the "Science and Math textbooks" section only? I found about that "read more" thing when copying and pasting book titles from PF into amazon or other book sites... I don't know if disabling it in said section would be something you'd want to do...

Well, since you're so interested in improving PF (which is awesome!), I have two things which I currently hate: 1) When one is not logged in, whenever one copies something from PF, we get a message "Read more: https://www.physicsforums.com"... I hate that and it pisses me off! I don't think...

I agree that 30 days is extremely low... I think threads should be merged more often... There are several threads (For example, the IQ ones, or the "best physicist", etc) that could be merged into 1 bigger thread. Just dump everything from a particular subject into 1 mega-thread.

Greg, the links in the Table of Contents in ZapperZ's "So you want to be a physicist" thread are not working, at-least not for me. Link here: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/so-you-want-to-be-a-physicist.240792/#5

I forgot to add a link in my previous reply. Here it is: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/so-you-want-to-be-a-physicist.240792/
