I'm still just a student but I get the same way studying, sometimes I just wonder why I am doing this. Kind of like camel jockey, I love listening to weird or intense music. Metal or psy-trance is good. I do some of my best math when I have Infected Mushroom blasting. It just keeps me awake...
But yeah, I would get way too sick of a job like that which is why I like science. But then again I know lots of people who get along perfectly fine with jobs like that and would die if they had to do science.
Not sure what this has to do with a career is physics...but nonetheless. I have had a coupe friends who did incoming call centers, they said it was pretty good. Outgoing calls though, I have never known anyone who managed to work more than a day doing that.
If you are working with incoming...
Ha, wow. Well I was reviewing the tuition rates at my university and they are even lower than I thought (and people at my university still complain about them!). For sciences it is roughly $100 Canadian per credit hour (3 credits is a one term course, 24 to 30 credit hours is a full course...
So, I really must ask, what is the average yearly tuition for students with residency in the state? Looking at the numbers on here my eyes have nearly left my head! In Canada I attend a small undergrad university and pay no more than $6000 tuition for a full course load (not sure what the...
I remember in third or forth grade they had use cut out a triangle, then cut all the corners off the triangle and put their tips together. No matter what triangle you made when you put all the corners together they made a straight line. I distinctly remember that glimmer of insight I saw. I...
In the past two years I have been going to university I have found that it costs me about $12,000 for 8 months of classes. This includes, tuition, books, rent, food, luxury.
I think that $45,000 a year/~$200,000 for a BSc is insane. Spending $200,000 is the kind of thing most people get a...
Isn't the uncertainty principle also inherent in the Fourier transformation used to create a particle via the superposition of waves? The more wavelengths used, the more certain the position but the less certain the momentum. Or at least that's just how I first learned it.
As a student I would recommend "Physics for scientists and engineers with modern physics, 7th edition, by Serway/Jewett". I found this to be an excellent calculus based intro physics text, very clear explanation of concepts and derivations, a good sized bank of practice problems, some very...
Well, a 4yr BSc in physics may not line you up for a specific high paying job right off the bat but it is certainly not something employers are going to be scoffing at, and it gives a very solid background in higher math and problem solving skills. These are things you can take a lot of...
Well I'm in the same position as you. I'm half way through a physics undergrad and beginning to take an interest in theory. The last thing I have considered is which languages I should learn.
But I suppose German wouldn't be a bad choice, a lot of modern physics was originally done in German...
Close but I think you have your observed and proper times mixed up. The proper time between two events is that "measured by an observer who see the events occur at the same point in space". So if I am not mistaken (in assuming "the same point in space" means the clock with the proper time is...
You're going to need to be more specific about what you are asking. Could you give more examples about the kind of descriptions you are trying to create?
But I suppose we shouldn't feel too bad, even the great minds of the Juggalo community are at a loss to explain this phenomenon! Fortunately good old Mr.Feynmann came to their rescue too.
