So I'm 15 years old (Though will be 16 this academic year) and am very interested in physics and have been determined to study Theoretical Physics at University. However I was wondering if there are any extra qualifications I could do to satisfy my interest in Physics and to show to Universities...

Yeah, I'm not really sure exactly what level AP calculus is at.. But I'm just looking to do something around that level which will have a good amount of credit in the UK.

Hey, I'm 15 and am currently in year 10 and undertaking AQA GCSE Maths, Further Maths and Physics (As well as the others, but these aren't related to my question). Now like many others I'm beginning to find these tedious since I'm trying to learn higher level mathematics and physics online since...

Essentially I'm looking for a way to calculate the volume of an impact crater so any ideas would be much appreciated.

I've read Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku and am currently reading Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. I'm also trying to learn A.S. level physics with few resources. But anyway where do you think I should apply then? I would also like to see higher level physics being taught.

Hey, I'm a year 10 student at a grammar school in North Yorkshire and am planning to apply for work experience at a Univerisity, but I have a few questions: Who should I apply to e.g. Academic staff, teaching staff, Emeritus & Research Professors or research staff. And just so you know I would...

Hey, I'm currently in year 9 in secondary school and am aspiring to become a theoretical physicist. Since my year is taking linear G.C.S.E. physics and all the exams are taken at the end of the 11th year our school is taking ages teaching all of G.C.S.E. physics and over a year we have almost...

I'm sorry if this is in the incorrect section, but can someone please explain what topological insulators are, the quantum hall effect, how you make a topological insulator and anything else that is relevant to the topic. Thanks.

Homework Statement Mrs keely has 3 small children. She runs her washing machine every day, even on weekends.How much does it cost Mrs Keely to run a 2kWh machine per year? How many times is she running it 4, once or 2 (as the 3 small children count as 1 adult.)? The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement Here is the first of the two questions: 1. "The overall efficiency of a power station can be increased by using the waste energy it generates to warm neary buildings. This is called Combined Heat and Power (CHP). i) Suggest why not all power stations are part of...

Yeah that's what I initially thought but then had some doubts. Thanks though. :)

But for energy transfers do you include waste energy?

Ok, so we've been set some pretty easy homework involving energy transfers e.g. Kinetic energy --> sound energy.. And in 1 of these questions it involves 2 clock which require no electricity to function the first is a pendulum clock with a cord where you lift up a weight which will slowly...

But if this kind of quantum gravity is confirmed, will we have to re-write a lot of physics?

If I understand correctly (Which I probably don't.) gravity is caused by hypothetical gravitons moving between two masses, but if this understanding is correct, these particles have got to traveling well past the speed of light, and at a extremely high speed but how can they? I don't...
