    Physics Career path forward for a physics autodidact?

    Thank you for your response, klotza. I appreciate your advice and the suggestions. Sorry, I'm keeping these responses short; I've been very busy lately - mostly the day job thing.

    Physics Career path forward for a physics autodidact?

    Thank you for your truthful, albeit a bit discouraging, response. I may just study outside of work a little bit each day for my own enjoyment for the time being, as I think my main focus right now needs to be making money and paying off extant student loans. Down the road, if I feel ready for...

    Physics Career path forward for a physics autodidact?

    Hi, everybody. I did an undergrad in computer engineering, and am currently happily in a software development position, but I've always had a passion for physics and could see myself loving being in a position where I'm working in clean energy. I've spent lots of free time learning about and...

    B Is Uncertainty in Quantum Mechanics a Fundamental Limit or a Measurement Issue?

    I'm a hobbyist physicist and I just started studying QM through watching Leonard Susskind's lectures on the Stanford Youtube channel. I get the idea of it being impossible to precisely know both a subatomic particle's position and momentum, but is this actually a physical limitation? Or is it...
