I got the concepts fine but couldn't stand grinding out the solutions and tracking the units. Tedious. I switched majors after sophomore year to mathematics. More elegant. Less work. More time to party.

I think everyone should study some physics. Even if you don't grind out the numerical answer, having some sense of how things behave provides a reality check for all the BS that people try to feed you later in life.

Nowadays, I find the biological sciences way more interesting. People are making fundamental new discoveries all the time, in small labs, with increasingly cheap DNA sequencing hardware. Don't need to be European and affiliated with a multi billion dollar accelerator to have a chance of making major new discoveries. Unfort, it is way too late for me to learn much about genetics and molecular biology. Too old, too dull. My daughter may study it in college, fingers crossed.

Ha!



Physics, eh? So what's your excuse for being so weak on the subject? Theoretical physics?

Clearly you know little about molding. Hint: not all molds are two halves.



You're welcome.
