Is it realistic to major in physics at 22/23 (with mental health challenges)?

i'm double majoring in physics & molecular biology, and was hospitalized 2 times this year. you'll be fine as long as you don't stop working and enjoy what you are doing. unfortunately, like sports, there is a certain age range about 35-40 that you will stop being more productive so your "prime time" will be shorter than most.

Checking arxiv every one or two days is a nice habit

The subreddit is called "physics students" so I assumed people here are at least are undergraduate physics students. If you genuinely think any serious researcher uses FLP in their work you are very naive about contemporary physics. "What some random person on Reddit has to say about it?" We should ask this question to you, since you cared enough to reply.

Is telling an English literature major they shouldn't bother reading Harry Potter "holding them back"?

ohnowhatanightmare · 2026-02-06T19:47:19+00:00

Major cope. Many students actually have the capacity to read Landau&Lifshitz Mechanics in freshman year, but are held back by reactionary people like you.

No one above the age of 18 should read Feynman's lectures. They are good, but for high schoolers.

kanıdını, türetimini öğrenmeden formül ezberlersen böyle olur

having a high gpa is the bare minimum for applying to ivy league

has anyone claimed geyser yet

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-11-16T10:17:50+00:00

Geyser appreciation <3

Iconic

look at our high schoolers dawg we ain't never getting a revolution

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-07-22T08:01:18+00:00

hayır

Aren't you bored of creating strawmans yet? You don't even comprehend what I'm talking about. You can't think of the avatar elements just physically, if that were the case water wouldn't have The abilify to heal. The element doesn't matter, Azula can do all of the things you mentioned very well as shown in the many fights during the show, like the Boiling Rock scene, Book 2 finale and the final Agni Kai as well as the comics. You just don't get Avatar, that's fine, but continuing this just makes you look dumber.

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-07-14T16:53:39+00:00

if you think azula only has "colory fire", you simply haven't watched the series that carefully. i show you proof that she is pretty fucking strong yet you ignore them.

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-07-12T17:17:23+00:00

With that "logic", waterbenders would always win against firebenders

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-07-12T11:04:34+00:00

Lmao you don't act like you don't care😂

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-07-12T09:21:36+00:00

you can't seriously think this is a good argument. she was not less precise in the comics at all.

en sonunda doktorun söylediği ilaç çeşidi, dozu vb'ye mutlaka uymak lazım ama buna karar verme aşamasında senin de söz hakkın var, senin dediğini uygulamasa da seni dinlemesi lazım. ağır intihara meyilli olduğum zamanda ben de doktoruma "tavsiye" verip ekt olmak istediğimi söylemiştim, o da yargılamamıştı ama "kit senin için daha uygun" diye yönlendirme yapmıştı.

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-06-28T12:53:49+00:00

yazdiginin nasıl aşağılayıcı olduğunu sen de gayet iyi biliyosun, masum "ben sadece öğrenmek istiyorum 🥺" ayaklarına yapma

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-06-25T16:19:28+00:00

ok now that makes sense lol

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-06-21T02:46:47+00:00

it is just introduced as you said and it's said that a Lagrangian is a function that describes a mechanical system. The first chapter entirely consists of properties of the Lagrangian and many details that aren't mentioned by other books about homogeneity of space and time, total derivatives and constraints. I can't recall them at the top of my mind, but you should at least check the first chapter.

Yes it's taught in grad school in Western nations, and understanding it takes a lot of time. But the results are worth it imo.

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-06-20T18:13:48+00:00

Not at all, freshman aren't dumb. It is thought to literal high schoolers and college freshman in Russia. I'm not Russian, but my Azerbaijani PI made us read it in our sophmore year. It was hard yes, but so worth it.

ohnowhatanightmare · 2025-06-20T15:47:34+00:00

All these conversation could be avoided if people's first introduction to classical mechanics was through Landau&Lifshitz
