    Physics Should I switch to astrophysics?

    You should be very realistic. Check the job listings on NASA or ESA. See what they are looking for.

    Job Skills I finally got my bachelor's degree in physics, now what?

    Everyone keep name-dropping data science. I don't think it's that easy to get into it. Especially if you don't live in USA. Not every country has a healthy job market for data scientists. Certainly not Europe. And you're basically competing with graduates from other majors, that are usually more...

    Classical Are there advanced brain teaser books for physics beyond first-year principles?

    Keith Kendig's Sink or Float. Yakov Perelman's books published by Mir are also similar.

    Introductory Analysis -- Self Studying

    The easiest way to self-study analysis is perhaps by going through R.P. Burn's Numbers and Functions: Steps into Analysis. It's a problem book and it has all of the essentials.

    Good Textbooks for QM: Get Advice Here!

    The recordings from Barton Zwiebach you watch are also available in edx.org with quizzes and problems. They provide feedback and solutions. I think if you can finish them, you can say you know undergrad QM.

    How to compare two measurements with uncertainties in terms of sigma?

    Thanks a lot. So, do people even say, "Our result is within 1 sigma from the accepted value" when they are talking about the t-value? Perhaps it's just the people in my country. Personally I always find it difficult to find the references for this stuff, beyond basic error propagation. For...

    How to compare two measurements with uncertainties in terms of sigma?

    Perhaps that statement is just saying how big the t-value is. Like, in this case: t = (1.0 - 0.98) / 0.1 = 0.1 So we can say that our measured value is within 1 sigma from the other measured value. In this case, do we just ignore the uncertainties of the other measured/reference value? It's...
