Thank you George, that's the kind of book I am looking for:partytime:
You are right PeroK, I have not made myself clear enough perhaps. Basically, I am looking for the map of physics (more fundamental than theoretical) but in a book describing all the fundamental theories/sub-theories and their...
Thank you for this suggestion. From what I have seen it is more of a typical physics book focusing on particles physics. I was more looking for a book containing an overview of the tree linking all current theories in physics with their fundamental interactions rather than exploring one specific...
Yes that can sound paradoxical but as a mentionned everything was taught in a compartmentalized way. Also, it is precisely because there are so many different resources online that I posted in this forum to ask about such a "reference book".
So far I have not found such a book. I studied each branch of theoretical physics and the fundamental interactions in a quite compartmentalized way. I had a module on subatomic physics with one professor, another module in quantum physics with a different professor and some classes in optics...
Hi,
I am looking for a book exploring the current theories of physics and their fundamental interactions. As we know, each fundamental theory is associated to a specific interaction. I wish to explore this tree of theories and see their links.
Thank you
Thank you:) I might need to order some communication and PR books...
Would you say that something like "Would you please be able to elaborate for my PhD application a letter of recommendation that highlights my ability to undetake research at doctorate level.." would be ok?
Hi, thank you for your reply. The thing is that I feel a bit worried that the letter will not be complete enough and I really want it to boost my PhD application. Also, I have had a past experience where a letter of recommendation written for my application was really minimal and without enough...
Hi, I am aware that I do not have access to those letters. Most of the uni I have checked provide some guidelines with the kind of recommendation they prefer. The thing is that guidelines are not always very specific and it's a bit similar to cover letters where some get a "go" and others get a...
Hi, I am planning to request some letters of recommendation for a PhD theoretical physics application. Could you please adivse on specific elements that will make the perfect letter with the best chance of getting offers. For instance is could be about my soft skills, my undergrad grades and...
Hi, I am planning to apply for a PhD in Theoretical Physics. One of my main topic of interest is black holes physics. Would you please be able to advise on the main/ the best/most relevant theoretical physics research departments/groups who have expertise in this field. I am currently looking...
Hi,
Thank you for the detailed answers.
Honestly, for 2, it will definitely be an issue for me since I already have a Master’s degree which was 2 years full-time in 2016 so my priority is to jump into PhD research. Furthermore, I also noticed that the knowledge we get during the Master’s does...
Hello,
I have several questions around the application process as well as the organization.
1. Are you aware of any reference website centralizing PhD offers by countries?
2.When it comes to the organization/management/ supervision of a PhD program, I wonder if there are differences by...
Thanks. At the moment my mind is thinking about MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Cornell... Basically all the big ones. It is true that they all have very prestigious theoretical physics departments but as I learned in this forum, I need to focus mainly on the international academic expertise...
* So, what part of India are you from?
I am not Indian :)
* There is no such field as "TP". Theoretical condensed matter is not the same as theoretical nuclear physics, which is not the same as theoretical high energy physics, which is not the same as theoretical cosmology, etc. If you don't...
I wonder how to find theoretical physics labs which have high level expertise in specific areas. Is there an online DB or "ranking" by area rather than by country?
Also looking for HCR in TP.
Cheers!
Thank you Choppy I appreciate that you take the time to reply to all my points.
I understand the necessity to be working hard from now! Networking as well, I am attending soon an online summer school as well as a more advanced seminar so I will try my best to get in touch with the max number...
Thank you jedishrfu for sharing your personal experience I really appreciate. I hope you were fullfilled in Computer Sciences.
Moral of the story would be to work super hard my master advanced module and get some research experience.
Cheers!
After graduating with 2-years Masters in TP, I wish to return to academia by undertaking a PhD in theoretical physics and I have A LOT of questions since I am aware that it is a, extremely competitive area especially when you were out of the game for a while, about 5 years for me…
What are the...
