The discussion revolves around the challenges of studying physics outside of a university setting. Participants explore various approaches to self-study, the implications of pursuing a physics career, and the difficulties faced in traditional academic environments.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the best approach to studying physics outside of university. Multiple competing views remain regarding the necessity of formal education versus self-study and the importance of addressing personal challenges in learning.
Discussion includes varying assumptions about the prerequisites for studying physics effectively and the potential need for academic support. There is also uncertainty about the motivations for studying physics and how they influence the choice of study format.
Individuals considering self-study in physics, those struggling with traditional academic formats, and anyone interested in alternative pathways to learning physics may find this discussion relevant.
What do you mean by "pursue phyiscs"? Do you want to eventually work in a physics-related professional job? Or are you just interested in the knowledge that studying physics brings?Jaccobtw said:I think I want to pursue physics, but I can't seem to keep up with the pace of a university class.
