I wanted a bit of both worlds, I tend to look at things at a very in-depth way and the Hawking books are so I can see things in different lights and look at my favourite subjects in another way. The books also seem very interesting. I'm getting Susskind's book to expand on my current knowledge...

Seems interesting, I'm just a bit scared that it won't be very useful for me. I'm not sure what the book itself has to offer and how in-depth it is. If you have the book yourself, could you by any chance give a short summary of what I could learn from it? Currently I'm looking at buying The...

Thanks for the answers, I'll try to explain how much I know of quantum mechanics so far. My interest in quantum mechanics started about a year ago, I got bored during chemistry classes, my attention span dropped yet my grades stayed high, so my teacher decided to give me something extra: a...

I have no clue. Most physics degrees tend to have a bit of quantum mechanics in them (here in the Netherlands, no clue how it works in say America), and I couldn't find any degrees dedicated to QM alone, so I had to make a choice. I'm still going off on feeling here, and being able to choose the...

The answer is reasonably simple: moonlight lacks the intensity for the cones in our eyes (the things that perceive color) to perceive colors properly, the rods that see shapes instead of colors can work with very low light intensities compared to the cones, which leads to black&white views under...

I am currently 16, and will finish my middle school (hopefully!) in two years. I'll have to choose a university and a degree soon, and I have a few doubts. First of all, is it possible to do my bachelor in the Netherlands and my master in another country like, say, the UK? Second of all, do any...

Hello people of these forums. I am a 16-year-old middle school student from the Netherlands, I do bilingual classes and my favourite subjects are physics, chemistry and Maths D (the last one being the class I also tend to have the most trouble with). I am completely infatuated with particle...
