Can a Medical Doctor Learn Quantum Physics on the Fly?

  • Thread starter MatthewKM

In summary, it is possible for a medical doctor to learn quantum physics on the fly, but it would require a significant amount of time and effort. While a doctor's background in science and mathematics may provide a good foundation, quantum physics is a complex and abstract subject that would require dedicated study and practice to fully grasp. However, with determination and access to resources such as textbooks and lectures, a doctor could potentially gain a basic understanding of quantum physics.

62 y old Dr of medicine. 37 years in practice no formal training in physics or quantum math. Right out of the gate foot in mouth move posting a mathless conjecture in the wrong area and now laughing at myself. Take above as a metaphor for me generally and we’ll get along fine

Hello and :welcome:!

Have a look at https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/introducing.1044656/

There are mining fields that should be avoided.

Welcome to the PF, doctor. It's good to have you here.

Don't worry about that first thread start thing; all is good. :smile:
