The Australian system has a lot of short Graduate Certificate and Diploma programs for students to transition into different fields. We also have different types of masters programs, coursework, research, and combined. With an unrelated bachelor and Graduate Certificate in appropriate field...

Yes, but you need to look up a Graduate Certificate of Science from a university. https://graduate.science.unimelb.edu.au/graduate-certificate-science If Melbourne University is too difficult to get into because of per-requisites then there are heaps of other universities with lesser...

Ok. So we've outlined the importance of Bohr's model and I do agree that it is a great stepping stone into quantum physics. But would it be advisable to teach Bohr's model without introducing model of the Hydrogen atom etc? I fear that students will take Bohr's model as gospel if only it is...

You should be eligible for Graduate Certificate of Science at most universities. You would the be able to select mainly physics courses. Once you have finished that I am sure you would be eligible to apply for a Masters program. http://graduate.science.unimelb.edu.au/master-of-science-physics

So main points about teaching Bohr's model are, - It is historically significant. - The limitations of the model need to be identified and explored. - It exemplifies the transition from classical physics to quantum physics. Is there anything else I should look at? The reason I am raising...

Why do some education systems still continue to teach Bohr's model even though it's seen to be incorrect?

Wasn't Heisenberg working for the Nazi's too? Wasn't this the reason the relationship between Heisenberg and Bohr broke down?

Always always always take a shower in the morning. People who don't smell terrible through out the day. I know cause I've worked with them. Disgusting people. I shower twice a day.

You haven't actually asked a question. Sorry. Maybe the question is implied but not specific at all. If you are asking why your friend did not receive an academic position at a specific institution then did he only apply to that institution? Also where specifically in Europe? I am certain...

Sacrifice the Evil and breed the good. I mean at present there is no shortage of evil people. Heh! Would the number of children over an immortal's life time be relative to that of our regular mortal's life time? Evo. Imagine popping 2 or 3 kids out ever 100 years? Statistically you'd also...

Sorry but I've been using windows on a apple for quite some time. Unfortunately it isn't emulated since the transfer to intel hardware and the introduction of Boot Camp. Though you can emulate it using a program called Parallels and it isn't so expensive ~$100. Windows will run on Apple...

FreeBSD on my PC and OSX for everything else.

What about if it was a Macbook with Windows Installed?

Yeah most of the PhD programs that I've looked at in Europe require a Masters. So from my perspective Australia Honours would strictly speaking be useless, right?

Didn't anyone tell you that Australia is the only country to have honours? You will need Honours IIA or Honours I to go into a PhD Program in Australia. However if you don't get that then you need a masters to go into a PhD Program. So you're better getting a Masters. Especially if you want to...
