AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a high school student seeking guidance on pursuing a course in virtual reality, inspired by Prof. Michio Kaku. The student acknowledges the broad nature of virtual reality as a field and expresses uncertainty about which specific course to choose. A response cautions the student to consider the realities of studying science, emphasizing that it often involves significant mathematical and practical work, which may differ from the more popularized and simplified portrayals of science presented by Kaku. This highlights the importance of understanding the rigorous nature of scientific study before making educational decisions.

This is my first thread; and I seriously wanted to know what course I should go for.
I'm a "fanboy" of Prof. M.Kaku.
I want to study about virtual reality(mostly inspired by him).
But I've searched through the web and it seems to me that virtual reality is a broad subject.
So I have no idea on which course I should go for and I am going to graduate from high school soon :confused:

Michio Kaku popularizes sciences, which usually means that he presents science in a very different way than how it is usually done. Science is a lot of grunt work and a lot of math. You have to realize that science might be very different than all the things you've read about it.
