AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the future of the defense industry and its contractors, such as Lockheed Martin, BAE, Grumman, and General Dynamics. Concerns are raised about the industry's stability, particularly if a political candidate advocating for reduced military engagement gains power. While there is recognition that no job is entirely secure, the consensus suggests that existing defense programs, which often span several years, are likely to continue, albeit potentially facing cuts or underfunding. The military-industrial complex is viewed as a robust entity, implying that the defense industry as a whole may remain resilient, even under political shifts. Overall, entering the defense sector is seen as a relatively wise decision, despite some skepticism about specific companies.

There will still be programs to be worked on, I'm sure - especially those that last a few years, but I feel like they'd be cut short or underfunded.

Is it wise to go into the defense industry?

While I wouldn't go buying stock in Halliburton, I wouldn't worry about the "defense" industry as a whole. The military-industrial complex is strong in this country, and even a Democrat won't be able to change that.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
