It is a little complicated to explain. I should probably do this in the original post but it'll make it too long to read...
My professor works in the field of neutron star study, he's a pure astrophysicist but he also advocates bold conjectures that are really particle/nuclear physics...
Thanks a lot! I haven't thought about this before.
My worry is it might be too late for me to change topic and my university back in China probably won't let me. On the other hand maybe I can find someone here in US to work with on some small side-project? What do your suggest?
Hi. I'm currently a 4th year phd student in astrophysics, studying compact stars. I'm from China and am now an exchange student in US.
What I'm asking is: if I really have more interest in theoretical physics, do I still have a chance of entering the field?
I'm now in a very confusing stage...
