Hi!

Is anybody out here going to enter the physics olympics this year?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
isnt that what they do in high school?
 
Yes that IS something we do in high schools.
 
It's not like "special olympics" - right? (So far I've only considered mud wrestling.)
 
No it's not. It's something like an international competiton in the knowledg of physics(mostly harder examples buth with littel or no calcules). I might get on the national team, but there isn-t much chance of that, becouse there is a 5 per countrz limit.
 
are there physics steroids? id like some of those..

It's not really something you can just enter. :wink: It won't be known which HS students will be representing a certain country in the international olympiad until that country's national olympiad is concluded.

P.S.
I assume you qualified for the nationals?

I'm one of 19. Maybe we'll compete against each other at the international olympiad. It's in Spain this year, I believe.
