What kind of person gets a degree in physics?

Holy fuk, bros.

Shyt is torture

So dry and boring.

Does everybody that has an interest in this shyt fall somewhere on the spectrum?

You always ignore me, bruh

Anyways, it's just for some credits I need towards something.

Nothing serious.

Shyt is beyond boring.

That's why I'm interested in who finds this chit interesting.

to answer your question, I mean they mostly look like what you imagine they would look like yeah

The dudes who start out in just straight physics I can't identify with. When I finished an undergrad and masters in EE, then worked for a while, I finally realized I'd appreciate QED and I'm crawling through it. We'll see what the future holds.

Physics was awesome

People that found physics boring where usually just too stupid to understand it.

Obviously not enough hot females in your classes, of you wouldn't be complaining.

In a high school physics class, I had a sloot that sat next to me (long tables with attached swing chairs, lecture type room). Cute, but great body and always wore short shirts. Once the teacher was talking about the laws of attraction and he looks at her and I and said something like "its like how these two are attracted to one another". She turned bright red. If a teacher said something like that now, he would be fired and probably on a list. But pre-2012, so not clown world yet.

Obviously no pictures since a long time ago and her being a minor. Didn't smash since I had a gf and i don't cheat.

I personally like math, but it's definitely not easy to learn fast (at least for me). If you are able to get a grasp of calculus, then gongrats, you beat math. Engineering or physics is definitely for you.

The early stuff is dull to study on your own, as it's dry and you don't get to do cool stuff. When you start spending time in the lab and seeing it all come to life, it gets more fun.

Most people fall in to two types, maths/physics (theoretical) and physics/engineering (applied) with the cool kids being able to do both.

The problem with it at the undergraduate level is most stuff that you learn is over 50 years old; the field is that deep. Only at the post grad level do you really get to do more contemporary stuff and play with the big boys toys.

If you want a more fun approach to it, look up the Feymann lectures or any of his books. He famously said that if we can't explain it at a freshman level, then we don't really understand it.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

Lol @ thinking calculus is beating math. You’ve barely scratched the surface of math, boyo

People see physics and think astrophysics, time, space, etc

When in reality a lot of their study is friction, load bearing, energy transfer, etc

You don't walk into class first day and learn about the island of stability in heavy elements

You learn if a car traveling at 55mph going around a curve with a 10 degree embankment and a coefficient of friction of .25 will slide off the road or not
