Since I LOVE physics, astronomy, genes, chemistry, and science in general. I especially like quantum physics. However, I'm just 12 years old and I go to this separate school every Saturday and ask my Algebra 2 teacher about quantum physics since she is a high school. I ask her about the M-theory, wave-functions, super-string theory, gravitons, and others. Sometimes she clears things up for me. Apart from that, I read, read, and read. Read. I took physics class for my age at this one summer thing and is was SO SO SO BORING. The stuff I'm reading is college level quantum physics, so unless you are college age i suggest you read, read, and read some more. Hope this helps.
Do a physics degree.
It's probably best to get a phd too.
Then either be an experimental physicist and work at a place like CERN, depending on what you want and are able to look into.
Or you could be a theoretical physicist and teach at a univercity while working on theories in your own time or with students.
There are many different universities that offer Physics as their major. If that is too high a level for a person, then they could go to college as a mature student and study physics there. Basic knowledge of physics can be found online.
Your best bet would be to go to a university. CIT, MIT, Harvard and Stanford come highly recommended.
In colleage Stephen studied PHYSICS although his father wanted him to study medicine. His fields are THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY and QUANTUM GRAVITY. In college Stephen studied PHYSICS although his father would have prefered for him to study medicines. His fields are THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY and QUANTUM GRAVITY. Stephen Hawking was born in 1942
Isaac Newton understood mathematics , theoretical physics and experimental physics.
1921--Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."
There are several different branches of physics. Some of the more popular right now are astro and space physics (study of stars, planets, black holes, etc.), geophysics (study of things like earthquakes and plate tectonics), nuclear physics, particle physics, optics and electromagnetism, medical physics, biophysics, and quantum physics, which is mostly theoretical. Since they are very in depth and probably too much to get into in a forum like this, I suggest Googling the branches mentioned above or visiting the website of a physics research university to get a better idea. If you are thinking of studying physics in a university setting, you must also be prepared to handle the advanced math that will accompany especially in geo and trigo..
Atomic physics and nuclear physics.
Study lots of math and physics!
Progress of Theoretical Physics was created in 1946.
Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics was created in 1965.
International Journal of Theoretical Physics was created in 1968.
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics was created in 1999.
In short Pure physics is the theoretical knowledge of concepts of physics, while applied physics is the knowledge of techniques that help to apply this theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
Albert Einstein studied the theoretical branch of physics. This lead to his famous equation of energy equal mass times the speed of light squared.
Quantum physics is a theoretical type of physics that does not apply to physical objects.
Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs the use of abstractions and mathematical models of systems and physical objects to explain natural phenomena.
Because it's fun and mind-blowing. Theoretical physics predicted many things that you see in science fiction.
Theoretical physics is where physicists theorize about things not yet proved mainly by using equations or preexisting theories.
Theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics.
