No, I don't... do you still have enough time for your studies after military training? It sounds like a lot to balance.

I'm starting university this month, too (studying physics). Best of luck!

Thank you, that's very helpful!

I'm starting my undergraduate degree in physical/mathematical sciences at the University of Toronto in the fall. My long-term goal at this point is a career in academia, probably theoretical physics, but I don't want to close any doors on the experimental side. Other than coursework, I would...

Why would I pay for it when I could just write a program for the holodeck?

Resolution? I might be completely off base here, but I'm wondering... is this essentially saying that if our universe is a computer simulation, the reason we experience reality in four dimensions and only to the resolution of the quantum scale is limited "simulation" technology in some other...

Thanks for the correction!

Hi TheSerpent, The formula for escape velocity is v=√(2GM/r) where v= velocity, G=universal gravitational constant (G=6.67*10-11 Nm2kg-2), M is the mass of the body, and r is the separation distance. v=√(2GM/r) Ekinetic=0.5mv2 m (rocket)=1000 kg r (orbit)=13620 km...

Max Planck was told not to pursue a career in physics, and look where that advice got him! Do what you love.
