Programs Can't decide to choose the MSC programs in Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a senior undergraduate physics student contemplating their Master's program. The student has a strong interest in astrophysics but feels it is not their true calling. They express a desire to explore concepts related to time, quantum fields, and the nature of space. Despite their passion, they struggle to identify a specific program that encompasses these interests, feeling overwhelmed by the breadth of physics as a discipline. They seek guidance on how to narrow down their options, acknowledging the challenge of committing to a single area of study when multiple topics intrigue them. Suggestions include consulting local faculty for advice on suitable programs that align with their interests.

Hi everyone,

I m a senior student in undergraduate level in physics. Probably, i will start my Msc next semester. So i started to think about the programs in physics. First of all i want to give some information about my education and my desires. All of my restricted elective courses were about astrophysics. I took them because i love space. Actually i m happy about to took these course but i believe that astrophysics is not my area. I want to think about time, struggle about time. I also want to think about quantum fields and space. My first desire is time, of course. However, i do not know which program i need to choose to study about time-space-quantum together :/ please help me..

appreciate for your answers..

So all you know now is that you don't want to do astrophysics, but you "want to work with time". You're really going to need to be more specific.

Talk to your local faculty and see if you can find something you like from the menu.
 
thank you for your answers. Yeap i know that i need to be more specific but physics is a huge world. Thus i feel like getting lost in it. Actually, i asked myself " why i need to be focus on one topic or subject or program. " I can not choose one program because i know my mind stay with others. Every program has at least one topic which i like. So i can not decide one of them because i know that i won't like the whole topics in the program. I hope u can understant what i mean.
 

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
