Because if you consider diving cheating, then fouling intentionally is also cheating, and all top scorers are always fouled intentionally and not always given free kicks. My point is that the game works that way. It won't ever change (unless it's not football anymore).

But you realize that he is fouled more often and not given a free kick right?

haha ... and he was trash talking the ticos shooting the penalties; it was great.

Making that goalkeeper sub right before penalties made the dutch look so cool.

It is a free particle right? So write down your wave equation for each of the three regions and think about what happens at the boundary. Also, you don't need to do any integrals to find the transmission probability and amplitude, look at any intro to QM book for details on rectangular barrier...

A little background first; I contacted a person at a national lab to see if he could hire me for a year between undergrad and grad school. He advised me to apply to SULI and that way we could work together for the next few months. So I did and luckily got accepted, but it seems that before he...

A friend of mine did research with a professor at Caltech for 2 summers while he was still in high school and he got into Caltech. Maybe look at their summer programs for high schoolers? I'm sure that will help. Good luck.

woo! Brazil is through!

There was a professor doing mathematical physics at my undergraduate uni. and he would make you take independent studies on topology, diff geometry, special functions, etc, during the summer terms, but you were expected to know the basics, i.e, analysis, algebra, etc. I guess the best you can do...

There is a difference between theory and phenomenology. I stand by my argument that if you want to master QFT you MUST know topology and algebra beyond the usual group theory stuff, otherwise, you'd just be taking many things for granted, unlike quantum mechanics for example. To do the physics...

That depends what you want to do. If you want to do experimental nuclear/particle physics, you will have to take QFT and particle physics classes, but that's it. It really won't matter if you understand the math behind them. But if you want to do theory, you will have to learn a lot of math to...

Alright. Winner: Germany of course!
