Hello, my name is Hessam (self-evidently), i am 15 years old and have an ambition to study physics throughout my life. I have allready read a book on general physics, and one on einsteins theory of relativity, and because of my will to pursue this field, i wish to major in it when i go to college...
Now i was just wondering if anyone here had any advice on what to read, study, or what to do? i really don't have that much of an extensive knowledge of this field, so any help would be appreciated
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Read everything that relates to physics, magazines, book or the internet, they always help if only to get you interested in new scientific fields.

And you have come to the best place for help on physics and just about anything else for that matter.

Pink Floyd. High Hopes. You're 15, and you like this stuff? Amazing.

I think physics comes not so much from books. What Floyd maybe want to say, is this: Have you ever played with a gyroscope? A levitron? Ever tried to build your own electric motor, telephone, or Van-der-Graaff? Ever fiddled with electricity in your own lab?

OK, you ask for books. I strongly recommend 'Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman' by Richard P. Feynman. That was an eye-opener to me...

Hessam, good luck on your journey into the land of...
 
This site is an excellent place to start.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
