AI Thread Summary
In the discussion, a final-year BSc Physics student seeks guidance on pursuing an MSc in Physics and subsequently an MTech. The response emphasizes the importance of selecting a specialized MSc program aligned with specific research interests, such as Astronomy or Nanoscience, rather than a general Physics degree. It highlights that many MSc courses in the UK cater to students from various disciplines, which may not be suitable for those intending to focus on research. The advice encourages the student to reflect on their research interests to make an informed decision about their academic path, as each field offers diverse research opportunities that require careful consideration.

I'm not quite sure I understand you. You say you want to do an Mtech, which I think is an undergraduate Masters in Engineering. Where are you from?

If you know you want to research then it'd probably be best to choose an MSc course that is more specific and geared to that research area than just 'Physics'. In the UK at least, the Physics MSc courses are more geared to undergraduates from other disciplines and want to transfer over.

I.e. if you want to go into Astronomy, look at an Astronomy MSc. If you want to go into Nanoscience, look at a Nanoscience MSc. If you're not sure about what kind of research you want to go into then now is the time to have a good long think. Each field you go into has a plethora of different research topics and it will take a long time to narrow down to the final level but it would be a good start to choose a general subject area now.
 

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. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
