AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an individual's aspiration to achieve a deep understanding of physics and potentially earn a Nobel Prize in the future. The person seeks guidance on the best books and study order to prepare theoretically for a career in science. They have already acquired materials from a specific website and notable textbooks by David Morin and Halliday & Resnick. However, the conversation shifts to a more sobering perspective on the likelihood of winning a Nobel Prize, emphasizing that many talented scientists do not achieve this recognition despite significant contributions to their fields. The consensus suggests that while pursuing knowledge in physics is commendable, the focus should be on gaining a solid understanding of the subject rather than fixating on accolades. The importance of personal growth and a genuine interest in understanding nature is highlighted as a more meaningful goal in the pursuit of science.

Physics news on Phys.org
no one goes into science with the sole intent of getting a nobel prize. Let's face it, you aren't going to get it. I remember once a physics professor saying ''unless your doing groundbreaking research by age 30, you aren't even in the running for a nobel prize''.
 
Your chances of winning the lottery are greater than that of winning the Nobel Prize, no joke.
 
Unfortunately science is not a sport or an art. There are many bright scientists out there who did groundbreaking research and yet they have't won Nobel Prize and they never will.

If you want do do sth for your personal glory science is very bad choice.
 
Also depends on your field. Some fields will never produce a nobel prize but are great in industry, and some will produce nobel prizes but little employment in industry and that's just how it works.
 
ok thank
 
My intent isn't to get a nobel byt have a physics culture as a nobel prize. So i asked how can i be a nobel?? I want only to understand ain the best way possible nature.
