Hello;
What is a theoretical physicist? Is it someone who studies theoretical physics? If so, what is theoretical physics?
If I say I am a theoretical physicist, what do I do? Does this mean that I don't do any experimentation to test my hypotheses as that would make me an experimental physicist, do I do both? Moreover, what is the difference between the two?
How do theoretical physicists work? Do they work alone, collaboratively? What do theoretical physicists need, just a pen and paper and a computer?
Also, does theoretical physics require funding, and, if so, how so, in what aspect?
Thanks.
