/sci/ - Science & Math

Projects like Heterodox Academy and Quillette are growing stronger and stronger. They're already attracting heavyweights of the american intellectual life. This kind of censorship is gonna backfire so badly.

Hey, guys. I'm a guy from Latin America and I'm getting my Masters in Philosophy, but I'm fucking tired of this Greek Metaphysics bullshit. I'm thinking about finishing my Masters and prepare myself to get a Masters in Physics (no way I'm entering the undergraduated level again). I can't see myself in 20 years teaching the outdated Aristotle's and Descartes' physics for pothead students in my country. I want to make a contribution to science, even if it's very modest. So is it possible to enter the graduated level in Physics directly with just 2 or 3 years of intense preparation? I'm just starting my Masters and I have 2 years, so I'm thinking about changing my subject to Newton's work, so I can study physics while I prepare my dissertation on his thinking on physics and metaphysics. Is it possible? How can I prepare myself to get a Masters on Physics?
