    Things you wish you knew when you started to study physics?

    Thank you for this advice. I actually find the communication and styles of communication one of the most interesting things I've learned as I go. I can definitely see how it will help - learning communication in general has made my life a lot better. I have a friend who's halfway to his PhD and...

    Things you wish you knew when you started to study physics?

    I would absolutely love to build something from scratch with say, a Raspberri pi haha. I've considered building my own radio before as well but it seems pretty hard, I might start with something more simple, maybe a clock. Or an MP3 player... I miss old MP3 players. A 2-D laser deflection...

    Things you wish you knew when you started to study physics?

    I like this approach a lot. It's kind of how I try to navigate my life in general. I can't afford, or do a lot of things in my current situation - unemployed, physically disabled, and my disability leaves me housebound - so like you said, it comes to breaking down to what you can do right now...

    Things you wish you knew when you started to study physics?

    I'm 25! I have an IT-degree, although it's pretty entry level. And high school education, but unfortunately I never had science-related classes (even though I really wanted them). I have tons of experience with IT systems and it's kinda how I realised that I really like solving problems and...

    What would be popular science sources? Do you mean generic pop-science books/documentaries?

    Things you wish you knew when you started to study physics?

    Hi there! I'm a new member trying to self-study physics. I apologise if this is in the wrong place on the forum. Feel free to lock or move the thread if so. What are some things you wish you knew when you started learning physics? Or things about the world of science/physics that you wish...

    Hello there

    Right! They are both so interesting. Evolutionary science just keeps coming up for me because I often wonder why my body or brain does the things it does, and then I end up in a deep rabbit hole. I've been interested ever since I read a book about it. What do you mean by there is no Theory of...

    Hello there

    Hi there! My name is Rodney. I am a 24 year old guy from the Netherlands. My whole life I have been fascinated by science, physics in particular but I have never had the opportunity to go to school and study it. As of right now, I'm planning to still chase the dream of becoming a scientist...
