Hi,

I'm a sixth form student in England (which I think is the same age range as High School in America?) and I'll be going off to study Physics at university in October. My interest in physics is essentially non-practical, what interests me more about the subject finding out the fundamental nature of things and how they work (less so the applications). In this sense I suppose I'm philosophically minded (I also love philosophy) and I also particularly love maths, both pure and in application to physics.

I look forward to discussing physics with you guys :)

Cyrus

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
Hi there! This is Vmax, an old (relatively, but the profession can definitively accelerate aging) aerospace engineer now returning to physics in my 50s. I can definitively use some help in refreshing long forgotten topics and guidance in tackling new challenging subjects in modern physics. I'm looking forward to engaging in interesting, informative and stimulating conversations with you all. Have a great day!
