AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a bachelor's in physics is recommended for those interested in independent research in the field, particularly in areas like the standard model of physics, which includes matter, antimatter, and quarks. Engaging with professors for research opportunities is crucial, as significant results in independent research are unlikely without a solid foundation in physics. Transitioning from computer science to physics may involve a delay, but it can lead to a more fulfilling career if physics is the true interest. Starting with a BS in physics provides essential knowledge and skills necessary for advanced study and research.

HI there...

I am currently doing my bachelors in computer sciences, for the first two semesters i was taught physics but it was more like that from previous levels just a bit advanced...

I want to study further and do independent research but where to start from?

I have heard about courses on standard model of physics (because matter, antimatter, atoms, quarks, QCD and related maths of these subjects interest me), so what should i do now to carry on?

Please Pleeeeez help me...

Then go for physics. Its like a year's delay from taking com sci to a lifetime of fulfillment. That is if you really want physics. Having significant results by doing independent research without even finishing undergrad in physics is unlikely.
 
Try to get involved in a professor's research. Contact them and see if they need a hand. LOL @ trying to do independent research with only two semesters of physics lectures. Give your head a shake.

Starting from a BS. in Physics is a good choice, in my opinion. Because it gives you the very basics of what you really need to know for research.
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
