Caltech is the first on my list, but I am looking at theoretical physics as a major.

Unless through String Theory you conclude they are "strings." These strings are in turn energy, so it probably is safe to say that quarks and electonsare energy.

I am am currently in high school, but I want to pursue physics as a career. I guess I understand your point about most work being government funded.

I am wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of pursuing a career in physics at a univeristy vs. government research. Do government research projects greatly restrict what work may be done?
