I think about the universe and write things about it with numbers in it.

He's an exceptions, we cannot count on be an exceptions. But, OP, I also came from a rigid family, probably not as rigid as yours. My father wanted me to be an engineer because I'm good with math, but I decided to be a physicist despite the low paying jobs and the amount of time I have to...

First of all, you should read more about "theoretical physics". By theoretical you're not saying which area of physics you want do follow. Also, you're first semester, there's a lot more down the road. So, to your problem. The first semester is always a troubled time. And if you never study...

This is a serious question and I don't believe that I know enough of his/her life to say what he/she should do. I'm just stating a fact that physics is completely different from medicine. That physics is very hard and very difficult to get success in it. And that physics may seem pretty from the...

I don't think you should do that and here's why: First: Age is a problem. I'm not here do give you false hopes saying that despite being 25 you could still revolutionize some field in physics. That's not impossible, of course, but that's improbable. 25 is not old to do physics, 25 is the exact...

By average force the question means the minimum force for the object to leave your hand? I didn't quite get the final data, like, where's the object land? By the data that you show I'm not show how to calculate this. Are there more date to the problem?

You should divide your time as you should divide your working place. Let me explain. If you have fun were you work the two you'll get mixed up and you won't be able to fully work because you use that space to play video games for instance. That's why you can study easily at the library.

Here's the deal. I'm trying to choose which university to do exchange. I do research on mathematical-physics. So, which country has the better opportunity for me, UK or US, or even another one. Yes, I know, this is a very general question, but any advice will be very useful for me.

Have you ever consider going to other contries? Here on Brazil get tenure is very easy you just have to have a PhD. Yes, I know it's not a contry with good sciences programs but nowadays it's the right place to get a decent job as a professor.

Well, this is very obvious, but you could get a professorship in a university. I find that academia is less competitive than the 'out side world'. You won't make a lot of money, but is a good amount and you'll be dedicating your time to physics, and I'm assuming that's the goal of your whole...

We all know that a professor has many attributions such as teaching, administrative stuff and of course research. But, how you and your colleges deal with this? I've seen a lot of professors that find teaching very rewarding while other neglect the teaching part and just focus on research. I'm...

I don't thinks that's true. You see, Andrew Wiles worked alone to solve the Fermat's Last Theorem, but he spent 7 whole years working by himself, alone from academia. If you read the book or even watched the documentary you can see that his co-workers thought that it was an unusual behavior of...

In theoretical physics you have to do your work with other people. You can't do your job by yourself. You question is a important one, no doubt but makes no sense. If one gets a PhD, one must seek a job, not do research but oneself. Also, publish papers don't pay much, actually you can't make a...

You're probably going to be and engie, so try to focus on study but keep your social life healthy. Studying is not about books or grades, it's about learning, and our brain need time to absorb information and time to don't think about this. I'm a physics and I know that I'm going to spend the...
