Choppy,
Thanks for the reply. It's not an unhuman amount of effort to finish the masters degree. I plan on finishing it in the next term.
I appreciate the advice as far as getting into the job market. Any tips on where to look for free lance work? Also would having several completed projects...
Hello,
I'm a graduate student who failed their quals, and as such will be terminating my physics education with a masters degree. Up to this point in my education I've done excellently, but due to several factors I've was unable to pass the quals. This isn't really an issue because one of the...
Hello!
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this but here is a go.
I'm currently applying to graduate schools and I know that I am interested in theoretical particle physics and condensed matter theory. In electricity and magnetism we were told that charge is an axiom and it's not...
hmmm. I see, could you help me understand why this isn't simply connected? I don't see anything peculiar about the space so that it isn't simply connected, but I'm not exactly sure.
The situation is as such. you have a magnetic passing through a loop(loop 1)of wire as some time t, say you also have a larger loop of say one light year in radius surrounding loop 1, call this loop 2. at some time t the magnetic field is shut off. when this happens would loop 2 instantaneously...
I had a bottle half full of ice and filled it with water and placed it in my fridge. I noticed that the ice was taking a significant time to melt. In fact after half a day it looked like it hadn’t melted at all.
That got me to thinking. Say I did this with a rigid container and filled up the...
Haha, yeah condensed matter theory is really up there for me because I'm really interested in adding my efforts to the decades of work that have been done on the search for high temperature super conductors. In my mind if they are discovered we enter a new technological era and perhaps one one...
Thanks! This was was I was wondering. While I'm coming from a relatively small university, I've been gaining research experience in the field I am most likely going to specialize in. I'm currently working with a computational physicist diagonalizing geometrically frustrated spin systems, and in...
I'm in the U.S, sorry didn't think about that. I'm actually a member of APS. I guess I'm asking the wrong question. I'm aware of the different sub-fields in physics and have narrowed that down to between condensed matter/high energy physics.
From the research I've done I suppose I may have...
I kinda rambled out that question wukunlin. What I mean are sub-fields of theoretical physics. Like computational theory or maybe analytical theory. I'm just trying to figure out what my options are besides computation.
Hi, I'm entering my senior year as an undergraduate and will soon be applying to grad school. I go to a small university that has an excellent undergraduate research policy which has allowed me to have experienced working in experimental and theoretical(computational) physics. I know one of the...
This is why I was curious. I'm not one of the people who are constantly glued to their phones and it seems more practical to me that I use a watch. I was thinking that the stopwatch might be useful too.
There was also the hope of being linked to the ultimate wristwatch that solves differential...
It seems to me that your goal is to get a pretty prestigious internship this summer. If that is your goal I'd take every step I thought was appropriate to meet that goal. However if the summer internship is to just to make your grad school application look better I'd maybe drop a course or two...
^ this seems like good advice. When specializing what are some of the broader specializations? This first plan is my original from when i first began my degree. Since then I don't feel like I've gained enough knowledge to actually pick something specific and real.
