Thank you! PhB (https://studyat.anu.edu.au/programs/4660HPHB;overview.html) allows me to do graduate medicine with no admission tests if I pass so I think this is a safe option. I will do PhB (major in chem and phys) and look into scholarships and how to maximise my chance of getting one but if...

I am very curious! Most likely will never find out :(

Thank you for the helpful reply thegreenlaser!

Thank you a lot Kinkmode, really appreciate your reply! Unfortunately, I live in Australia and I can't do any programs here. The only place that does nuclear fusion research in Australia is the Australian National University. ANU has a very strong focus on research and theory and it is ranked...

Another important thing would be sending him to a good high school with an emphasis on rigour and understanding of science or straight to university if he has the ability. High school environment in general, students, teachers and curriculum can destroy one's interest in learning.

Are they contained using using magnetic confinement in a vacuum? What about uncharged antimatter, is it possible to contain it? I read that all the antimatter ever produce on Earth produces enough energy to heat a cup of coffee. Is it theoretically possible to produce antimatter economically and...

I read your post and found it very helpful. I will try to improve my critical thinking and understanding skills before I start university. The only way I can do this at high school is by studying maths as other subjects are mostly rote-learning. The degree I am thinking of doing is called...

Is it possible to contain a sample of antimatter without it interacting and annihilating with matter? Is there any research going into antimatter at the moment? Is it possible to create antimatter on Earth without using a particle accelerator?

If a thread like this exists then admins can delete my thread and I will happily read the existing ones. I will need a 3.8 GPA in a science/engineering degree, most likely will major in something physics related. I read that I will need to study minimum of 6 hours a day which doesn't really seem...

Thank you a lot for the reply! After the failed cold fusion and sonoluminescence fusion I feel like governments and private investors were disappointed and decided to invest in something more reliable like solar and wind. Hopefully ITER makes some good progress because the technology seems very...

After long thinking I decided that I want to do either engineering or science. I am not really interested in one specific field in science but I am more interested in what field is more useful, active and revolutionary. I became very interested in quantum computing but I lost interest since it...

Thank you a lot for the replies everyone! Very helpful!

Is it possible that a future theory disproves quantum mechanics and relativity or one of them? People were convinced that Newtonian mechanics was correct and worked but relativity showed that it only works at low velocities etc...

Spaceship Alpha is traveling at 0.9c. It shines a light beam. An observer that is stationary observes that the light beam is traveling at c, not 1.9c. Explain. How can I answer this question? I don't want to just say because Einstein said c is the same regardless of frame of reference. Imagine...

No major advances seem to have happened in physics since Einstein's theory of relativity and the photoelectric effect (the start of quantum mechanics). They discovered the Higgs Boson in 2012 but it doesn't seem to be that big of a discovery. What do you think will be the next major...
