This may have been discussed before, but what level of interest in physics is there on LW? I seem to recall seeing someone saying they wanted to learn physics, but I don't remember if there were seconds to that.
You can get questions answered at Physics Stack Exchange and have discussions at Physics Forums.
I have a degree in it. My curiosity is mostly satisfied.
I was planning on revisiting some topics and try to gain mastery of things like ballistics, spring dynamics, and wave equations. If it comes as a part of my RSS feeds, I would probably up that as a priority.
I'm currently studying physics at my university.
So that makes 2 of us? Odd, I'd have thought physics would appeal more to logically-minded people.
It did appeal at one stage. But I learned enough of the interesting stuff that what is left just seems menial. I never would have thought ten years ago that I would find statistics more engaging. Something to do with being directly useful for constructing the kind of knowledge that most fascinates me.
Well, that and when I've gone back for another science degree there were too many boring prereqs needed before you can get to the fun stuff.
