What are you in now and how did you end up there?
I really want to do a post-grad in quantum mechanics, and got a letter from my Uni this morning asking if I am doing a single honours degree in astrophysics or a double honours degree in physics and maths-physics.
Ideally I would do...
I'm doing an undergraduate in astrophysics at the moment. In Sept, I'll have to decide between continuing the single honours in astrophysics or doing a double honours in experimental physics and mathematical physics.
My goal is to go on to do a masters, preferably in the UK, in quantum...

Would you interchange "÷" with "/" at will?
I've just seen someone (with an engineering background) give out to a friend (with zero math background) for using / instead of ÷.
Leading to very odd argument over what the answer to this is: 6÷2(1+2)=?

He says he has a PhD in space physics.
My understanding of special relativity was that the speed of light is always constant no matter what...
