/sci/ - Science & Math

graduated in december, starting grad school in the fall for amo physics. should i brush up on general physics and math during the long wait, or maybe just look ahead to courses i will take and research papers in the field?

What matters more for getting a job (USA) after grad school: the general prestige of the university, or the university's ranking for just your specialization, or maybe just the lab(s) and professors that you research with? i have applied to a few universities and some are great, but arent huge names outside my field, while others are well known like princeton, columbia, etc but not as good in my specialization

Sorry for the length, but I think you'll find the article interesting (being interested enough to create a thread about philosophy and all).

I don't know, I'm sure people will find good uses for it.

Beats me, but usually technology finds something to be applied to.

How do I "think" faster?

I feel as though I'm have great comprehension, but in terms out mental output by speed, I'm definitely subpar. People always finish their tests before me. It's sad.

What can I do to mitigate or reverse this disappointing trend?

Immortality is not just one of the hardest problems to solve its one of the hardest problems when solved. Imagine all of the moral, philosophical, social and existential problems that would emerge after we attain immortality.

What happens to matter once there isn't any more energy in the universe?
