    Europe Study
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the decision to study in Europe, specifically in a program focused on advanced robotics at Warsaw University of Technology and the University of Genoa. The original poster is weighing the reputation of these institutions against their current studies at the University of Toronto (UofT), which is considered more prestigious compared to schools like EPFL, ETH Zurich, Cambridge, and Imperial College. Key considerations include personal goals, such as whether the intent is to gain knowledge, secure employment, or pursue further education, particularly in the U.S. The recognition of foreign degrees in the U.S. is highlighted as a crucial factor for those planning to work or continue their education there. The conversation suggests that if the primary motivation is cultural immersion or personal growth, studying in Europe could be a worthwhile experience.

Heading off to study in Europe?

Currently in EngSci at UofT and got accepted to http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&sourc...unwCQ&usg=AFQjCNGP9u2wfg1t_cUDUIjg0nr25zzetg"program in Europe on advanced robotics in Warsaw Univerisity of Technology and Univeristy of Genova in Italy. The reputation of these schools isn't comparable to UofT like epfl, ezh, cambridge, imperial college would be so is it worth it to go or not?

What are your goals? To learn, to get a job, both? I think the answer may vary according to this.

One major thing concerning a degree granted outside of the US if you plan to work in the US and especially if you plan to continue onto a PhD in the US: Make sure the degree will be recognized once you return. But just as fluidistic said, these things only matter if you are looking for that degree to be used as a stepping stone. If you are looking to go just to be immersed in a new culture or some other reason, then it would likely be a good choice.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
