perhaps i will limit the discussion here towards higher level physics instead of kopitiam styled questions. (time travel, e=mc2 those)

more on technical things instead of discussion.

Are you suggesting we split into different fields? HEP, condensed matter, optic, nuclear etc??

i think different level of understanding is more important. It is unlikely that there are enough people to discuss in each research field.

what is your area of expertise modular? care to share? maybe we can take off from there and dispense more specific questions with relation to your research.
hey maybe you can even link us to some reseach papers you have contributed to?

oh sorry i didn't answer your question. I am currently studying the energy distribution, polarization and other properties of specific thin film.

I am still not having any paper yet because i just started my research few months ago.

you?

Physics is actually a good degree. How often do you get to spend 3-4 years on something that doesn't have to do with your career?

However, as good as physics is, I seriously think that the passion for physics changes when one comes into contact with professors.

A bad mix of professors whom most are pricks can really pull down your morale. But then again, there are those exceptional few who really ask probing questions that would make you start thinking. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the classical mechanics class and its treatment on gravity, why is the law of gravitation 1/r^2 and not some random number and despite the advances in particle physics no one really understands what is gravity.

Why is the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian so simple yet so powerful in solving problems? Why weren't we thought these tools when when we were younger? Felt stupid and led around by trying to solve problems using forces......................
