    Studying Is it normal to be a dunce in some areas of physics?

    I'm not where you are yet, I'm still an undergrad, I myself haven't had issues (yet) but that is a very interesting question I am going to have to ask my professors this...

    Using Eddington Luminosity to calculate mass

    WHY do I over think everything? Its the same damn thing... nevermind me I'm just arguing with myself... As usual...

    Using Eddington Luminosity to calculate mass

    I have the same questions, just put into a different scenario... I ended up taking the 1.4 root of 3.2x10^4 over 34.2 for an answer of 266, 000kg. Because i rounded to 133 Msun which makes 133x2x10^3kg...Is this completely off? My professor said I was right on... but now I am wondering if I...

    Why can't we reach to Speed of light at Space?

    You have a point. I'm reading up on it now, and getting pretty into it. Which means I will probably be preoccupied for the next...well... who knows how long... I tend to start reading about one thing, see something mentioned and go off on that branch, which leads to another and so on and so on...

    Opinion on BSIT to Astrophysics doctorate

    No infactuated is the wrong word. It implies short-term. I have been in love with the subject since I was 7 years old and got my first telescope. Then my step-father got me a book about space and it talked about the theory of black-holes (this was the 80's) I was so fascinated by black holes and...

    Why can't we reach to Speed of light at Space?

    I have. Many disputes mostly and no way to know who is correct or incorrect. Which means more research to learn, but that's actually a good thing. I have always read that when you reach the speed of light things get weird. I'm off to read some more then.

    Opinion on BSIT to Astrophysics doctorate

    Here is the background. First of all, I am not an 18 year old without responsibility and can do anything. I have 4 children, and spent most of my young adulthood "screwing around" so-to-speak (that has NOTHING to do with the 4 kids thank-you-very-much, that came AFTER I settled down). After my...

    Why can't we reach to Speed of light at Space?

    I will not pretend that I am an expert, but I do know that the laws of physics break down at that speed correct?

    Hello/hi/howdy/bonjour/buenas dias;tardes;noches/etc

    This is my first actually joining a forum. I am EXTREMELY passionate about astrophysics, and really just physics in general. Nothing is more fascinating, although most everyone I know disagrees with me. I will, in the next year or so, be going into graduate school for my astrophysics doctorate...
