I'm doing a high school physics project on particle accelerators. I know it's not realistic to build an actual particle accelerator, but I'd love to be able to build some model of something that works to go along with the powerpoint. I saw a video of someone using a ping pong ball with...

So to start for university, what courses would I want to take for undergraduate? Just physics and astronomy? I heard you have to take those, computer science, and math to start going to a masters or doctorate. Again, I understand that right now all I can do is just do the best I can in school...

Hi. I'm 15 years old (grade 10) and I live in Vancouver, BC. Within the past 6 months or so, I have developed an extremely big interest in cosmology and sciences like that. It would definitely be my top choice as far as careers go, and I wouldn't be too worried about the money I was making, as...
