    Implications of Constant c Squared: E/m = Constant?

    E = mc^2 simple relates the rest mass of matter with its rest energy. The fact that E/m is constant just means that rest mass and rest energy are proportional.

    Confusing linear momentum GRE question

    Thanks, TSny. I was working out some equations with conservation of energy in this case and I was wondering why I had a possible imaginary value for angular velocity. This now makes sense.

    Schools Considering Physics graduate school, but I stutter

    Thanks everyone for the responses. It's not that I don't think I could succeed at Physics because of my stutter, but I'm just concerned that if I have to TA a discussion I'd be unduly stressed about that on top of all the other stressful things that would be going on in graduate school. Kind...

    Schools Are big name schools really that different?

    Disclaimer: this is only anecdotal evidence I think one of the possible benefits from going to a state school (apart from the obvious, cost) is that if you're bright enough to have a serious shot at going to big name schools, you'll stand out. I go to my local flagship University and I've been...

    Schools Considering Physics graduate school, but I stutter

    Long time lurker here, this is just my first time posting. I've read through the 'So you want to be a Physicist' guide and just from experience I've noticed that in order to help pay for graduate schools most programs will have you TA for discussions or labs. Given my stutter, I know I...
