Thanks all, I'll ask again later when i finish GR

Did you manage to compete in this year University Physics Competition? If so, how was it and how does the registration process work?

Nice. How about electrodynamics? Right now I have Griffiths' and Jackson's electrodynamics. Do I need more sources?

I just want to learn this whole subject "speed run" style. So may I have book recommendations please?

Thanks, but how about tensor and general relativity, do you have a recommendation?

I am planning to study 8 semesters worth of physics major (physics introduction until field theory, QED, particle physics, etc.) What are the recommended books for each subject? I am currently at Schaum's vector analysis, is it enough for the subject?

Okay, but how about the Space Shuttle Main Engine (RS-25)? I heard that it has one of the highest power-to-weight ratio. Could it be used in a small device like hoverboard? What are the possible advantages and disadvantages of it?

Hmm, bringing a bag of fuel every flight doesn't seem very stable and safe. Do you think if a fusion reactor exists, it could be made into a small enough size to fit in the previously mentioned dimension and have the power to fly? Maybe it will function as the combustor and pressurizer at the...

Well yeah. Do you have any brilliant ideas to imitate that device?

So, some days ago I was rethinking my childhood and remember that I was obsessed with ben 10, particularly with the hoverboard in the film (https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Hoverboards). Right now, I really want to construct a replication of it, but I am stuck with some problems. First, what type...

well, I hope I'm serious enough. Thank you.

So next week I'm going to be starting my 4 years of struggle in physics major and I have plans for it. I know this will sound like a kid who just watched Kurzgesagt videos on Youtube having a daydream, but I will still say it. I am planning to study 8 semester worth of physics courses in my...
