AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the desire to study various branches of physics before entering undergraduate studies. The user seeks guidance on the order of topics from easiest to hardest, including classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, particle physics, high energy physics, relativity, astrophysics, atomic molecular and optical physics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and theoretical physics. Responses emphasize the importance of foundational knowledge, recommending that the user start with calculus and classical mechanics. It is suggested to follow the curriculum of the intended college, as exposure to these subjects will occur during a bachelor's degree in physics. Overall, the consensus is to focus on foundational topics first and to utilize college resources for structured learning.

I have to study a little of all that before undergrad anyone can help me and put it from the easiest one to the harder ? so i can study them in turn :
-classical mechanics
-quantum mechanics
-particle physics
-high energy physics
-relativity
-astrophysics
-atomic molecular and optical physics
-electromagnetism
-thermodynamics
-theorical physics
And if you can put them into groups of the same subject from the easiest to the harder one so i can study them in turn by groups
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Why would you have to study any of these before undergrad?

i like to have a general idea about physics branches before i can determine one to get a phd in it . so if you can help me please to start group them by subject from the easiest to the harder branch
 
I'd recommend just looking at the wikipedia page for each of them if you're interested in just finding out what they are. And you have several years before you need to worry about which one to 'get a phd' in, as you will be exposed to all of them by the time you finish your b.s. in physics.

i cheked wikipedia . In fact i like all these branches and i want to start studying a little bit of each one but i want to know the easiests ones and hardest's to start learning them by turn
 
What's your level of education?

finished high school
 
Alright well if you're so dead set on getting ahead in physics, learn calculus and classical mechanics first. Then worry about the rest

i have learned classical mechanics but i want to know what next that

Okay, basic E&M. Electric fields, magnetic fields, circuits, Gauss' Law, Faraday's Law, etc

Just follow your college's curriculum.

Look at the curricula of the college(s) you plan on enrolling in and follow them.
