      @@l.1244 It's hard, but getting high marks is not impossible, most of my final marks are somewhere around 80/100 and I could probably put more effort in. As you move into higher years however (and even in first year sometimes), you will be required to sit there and think for long periods of time to understand certain concepts. Homework will begin to take hours to complete as well. All I'm saying is that it just takes longer to do things. Generally though, when it finally clicks it feels amazing, so if you like physics, I would say go for it.
      One note on mathematics. I'm not particularly sure how high school physics is taught in countries outside of Australia, but at least here there was very little mathematics involved in high school, at most we used formulas. In university that changes completely. You will use a lot of integration, and eventually move into several dimensions and variables. That is not to say that the maths is particularly hard, most of it is pretty simple and you will learn it during your courses, but don't expect it to just be subbing in to formulas.

      Let a=b
      So,
      a=b -----(1)
      Multiply a both sides
      a² = ab
      Subtract b² both sides
      a²-b² = ab - b²
      Because a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)
      (a-b)(a+b) = ab - b²
      Taking b common on RHS
      (a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
      Divide both sides by (a-b)
      a+b = b
      From (1)
      b+b = b
      2b = b
      Divide both sides by b
      2 = 1
      1 = 2
      Adding 1 both sides
      1+1 = 2+1

      1- How much time before the Big Bang? I mean you could literally say 'singularity" and that wouldn't be wrong because that's what existed before the actual expansion, right?
      2- listen fam, Dark matter is something we can't see but we know It's there because of how It interacts with the formation and rotation speed of most galaxies. Also, It doesn't have anything to do with the meaning of life, unless you set something related to Dark matter as the ultimate goal in your life, since the meaning of our lives is whatever we want It to be.

      @@Haki145 It is a model that is about as close as you can get to an origin. When everything was a part of the singularity, everything was at one singular position at the origin (sort of x=0, if you want to think about it that way). Since according general relativity, space and time are one and the same, this means time was also at its origin. If "space is equal to zero" here, what that really means is space-time is equal to zero (although GR breaks down at the very first moments of the universe, so who knows maybe it is wrong). If that's the first moment in space-time, there cannot be a moment before it. That's how I understand it anyway. Whether or not there was really something before that (multiverse, big-bang big-crunch cycle, etc...) is outside my realm of knowledge.

    Our professor warned us at the beginning of the semester that, on his take-home exams, he reserves the right to ask *anything* within the scope of the course that we've covered.
    So I get the exam yesterday. There's 5 problems. Surprisingly, the majority of them weren't so bad - heat engines, Helmholtz/Gibbs free energies, Maxwell distributions, Boltzman factors and partition functions. Nothing terrible.
    There was *one* problem though on the van der Waals equation with three parts, and oh my god it was a mistake to leave that one for last. The part in your video with "I can't do part (a), so let me move on to part (b)...Oh, use your answer in part (a)..." described my experience with that problem to a T. Couldn't do part (a), moved on to part (b) which needed the answer from part (a). Put down what I would do if I had the answer. Moved on to part (c), required the answer from part (b). And it just abstracted further and further from any meaningful answer from there.

    Actually happened:
    Me: “in the middle of quarter exam, 20 minutes left”
    Prof: *comes up to me, stares at my paper
    Prof: “you should be done by now”
    Me: *moves my elbow so that prof can’t see my work

    I feel this in my soul. 😂
    I made I through 6 years of college without ever needing to utilize my IEP (which allows for extra time on tests)...until physics.

    I feel this. My thermo homeworks were 4-5 problems with parts a-e on all of them. On average took me 8-12 hours depending on how unreasonably difficult the problems were. Exams were the exact same format. Never finished more than 3 problems fully on an exam...and I still got a B+.

    High school physics: wow, this is engaging and fun...
    College Physics: if I have to draw another force diagram, I’m gonna kill someone...I still don’t know how to do like 70% of the homework for chapter 2...

    Nothing is more heart breaking then spending majority of the allotted time given on a problem, only to realize you got a negative number for time.
