Книге по физике

Хочу перед школой прочитать какую нибудь книгу или учебник по физике, дабы подготовится к ней в 7 классе. Плюсом мне просто интересно начать ее учить.
Посоветуйте каких-нибудь учебников, можно даже по математике, геометрии, да и вообще, для естественнонаучного развития

What do physics consultant actually do?

I have a friend who recently started working as a physics consultant but I am extremely confused about this job. What do they actually consult about?

Does anyone have good online resources for self-studying physics

Hi guys, I'm planning to self-study physics and am looking for some high-quality online resources. Does anyone have any good recommendations (websites, video series, or interactive courses)? Thanks in advance. BTW, I have "Fundamentals of Physics", yet I still want some video series cause some ideas I can't really understand by just reading the boook and asking gemini...

How can I self-study theoretical physics while pursuing a different degree?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently pursuing a degree in a field other than physics (computer science/engineering), but my long-term goal is to become a theoretical physicist. I know this is an unconventional path, and I'm willing to put in the effort.

I'm looking for advice from people who have self-studied physics or transitioned into theoretical physics from another field.

Some questions I have:

What should I study first, and in what order (math and physics)?

Which textbooks or online courses would you recommend?

How can I know if I'm learning at the right depth?

Is it realistic to eventually contribute to theoretical physics through self-study, or would I eventually need a formal physics degree?

If anyone has taken a similar path, I'd love to hear your experience.

I'm prepared to dedicate several hours each day outside my degree coursework. Any guidance or study roadmap would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What Master's Can I Pursue After a Bachelor's in Physics That Leads to Good Jobs?

I have a bachelor's degree in Physics, and I'm currently in the first year of my master's in Theoretical Physics.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to apply for the second year (M2) at my university this year, so I'm considering changing programs next year, either at another university or even in another country.

I'm trying to figure out which master's programs would lead to good job opportunities after graduation. What fields are related to physics but also offer stable, well-paid careers?

I often feel lost and stressed because I worry that I'm falling behind. I still don't have a stable job or financial security, while many people my age seem to have already moved past this stage. I'm not sure what the best path forward is, and I'd really appreciate any advice.

Fireworks Nebula: Light Echoes in Space

Does this nebula violate the law of the speed of light? 🎆⭐️

Astrophysicist Erika Hamden explains that the“Fireworks Nebula” is a nebula that surrounds a binary star system, one of which occasionally puts out a ton of light in a nova explosion. In 1901, astronomers observed this for the first time and assumed the nebula was getting bigger faster than the speed of light. What was really happening was a “light echo” where the light bounces off existing structures. While this does give a cool firework effect, it does not break the law of the speed of light!

This project is part of IF/THEN®, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

M87* Black hole. First ever image along with the magnetic field

Well this is not a like a photo taken from a telescope direct. But by collecting the raw data, radio waves from the accretion disk around the black hole, they were able to reconstruct the raw data into a image!

Those lines depicts the strength of magnetic field created by the plasma, the temperature might reach up to tens of billions of Kelvin.

Remember that this was not collected from a single telescope. They used global network of radio telescopes in our world targeting this M87* black hole stitching all the raw data into a reconstructed visual image

Why Doesn’t This Balloon Deflate? 🎈

Ever wondered why a balloon can stay inflated without being tied? 🎈

Greg Wolf demonstrates how atmospheric pressure can keep a balloon inflated without trying it. Using a simple bottle experiment, he reveals why trapped air prevents a balloon from inflating, and how changing the pressure lets the invisible force of Earth’s atmosphere do the work. It’s a fascinating physics demonstration that shows the power of air pressure in action.

Gravitational Waves and Spacetime

The simulation focuses on the geometric nature of gravity, illustrating how mass distorts the fabric of spacetime and how accelerating masses generate ripples known as gravitational waves

The Earth's bulge exists because of a force

Clouds, ocean currents, and long-range missiles all would behave differently if Earth were perfectly spherical. This bulge exists because of a force created by Earth's rotation.

On a spheroidal Earth, the centrifugal force and gravity cancel each other out, leaving just the Coriolis force to affect the puck’s movement.

What should I do in order to become physicist

So I'm a 15 year old who for the past 10 years has wanted to become a physicist. However I've found that my path to getting there will be very difficult, especially for me. I've been homeschooled for most of my life, so I'm very socially underdeveloped, which I've found will probably be my biggest challenge, as I'm very intelligent school wise, so far getting A in all classes for the past 3 or 4 years, consistently staying in the top 2% in terms of MAP testing. Right now, over the summer, I'm wanting to get ahead in math by reading the book geometry demystified and maybe even learning algebra 2, while also planning on trying to be more social. Do any physicists (specifically astro or theoretical) have any advice for me on becoming one.

what are some good activities i could get into as a high schooler that revolve around physics

Ok so boom! Ugh i’m having problem even articulating my exact problem. I’m a rising junior and i have no idea how to demonstrate how much i’m truly interested in physics to colleges. Ive got good extracurriculars and leadership positions, but I feel like if I wanna major in any branch physics, i probably shouldn’t be focusing on my graphic design skills as a clubs social media manager for college applications. I’ve always really been into physics and yea its really hard but i just genuinely enjoy learning abt it yet idk how to actually show colleges this😭😭

What are the skill i must learn for Phd in physics after 3 years?

Now i am currently graduating in physics. I am desperate for Phd. I know it's not too much easy as we think. But in future the world will be fully digital and updated. To survive in this digital world, what are the most important skill i should learn?

Give me a list with priority list please. I am wondering for it.

Spin-Orbit Coupling Explained: Electron Moments, the Nucleus & Spintronics Applications

Most physics courses introduce spin and orbital motion as separate ideas — but they're not. They constantly talk to each other inside every atom, and that "conversation" is what makes platinum useful in hard drives and what might power the memory chips of the future.

This note breaks down spin-orbit coupling from the ground up — from Thomson's cathode-ray discovery to the Stern-Gerlach experiment, Schiff's 1955 formula, and modern spintronic effects such as the spin Hall effect, DMI, and MRAM.

Written from the electron's perspective, which makes it surprisingly fun to read.

Is 28 too late to start a master's degree abroad?

I'm 26 and I've always dreamed of pursuing a master's degree abroad. Unfortunately, life didn't go as planned. I struggled for years with different challenges, and it didn t happen.

Now I'm seriously considering applying next year, so by the time i start i will be 28. I can't shake the feeling that I'm too late. I see people finishing their master's in their early 20s, starting their careers, settling down, and I feel like I've fallen behind.

At the same time, education has always meant a lot to me. It's not just about career it's something I've always wanted for myself, and achieving it would make me feel like I finally fulfilled a dream. I know part of it is also tied to my sense of validation and feeling like I accomplished something I worked so hard for.

Which Physics teacher made you fall in love with the subject?

Not necessarily the most famous one.

Just that one teacher whose way of explaining concepts genuinely changed how you looked at Physics.

What made their teaching style different?
