    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...

    Should I retake BS in physics?

    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...

    Why do we still teach Bohrs Model?

    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...

    Should I retake BS in physics?

    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

    Why do we still teach Bohrs Model?

    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 we still teach Bohrs Model?

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

    Greatest scientists who never won a nobel prize

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

    Attitudes towards employing researchers over 35 year in Europe

    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...

    Can Humans Mentally Handle Immortality?

    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...

    Mac or PC? Deciding the Best System for an EE Student

    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...

    Reading Feynmann's Lectures in the Holidays.

    I have that book written in German and have read about half way through. But I've never had time to go back to it because I've had other things to read which also interest me.

    Reading Feynmann's Lectures in the Holidays.

    I have completed physics courses previously. In relativity, quantum and electromagnetism. However that was over a year ago and well Feynman's Lecture series has always been on my list of to dos however never really found the time until now and also was not sure of the length of Feynman's series...
