Majoring in physics, I love both math and astronomy and may get a major in one of them (math more likely, but I have more research experience and have attended more astronomy classes).
So which phd should I pursuit? Math, physics or astronomy? I'm asking in terms of how useful they are, I'll probably end working in astronomy either way, but 'pure' astronomers seem to have more trouble.
I've always liked computer science as well

How is that economically appealing?

This. Do a branch of physics, not just flat hard physics

The thing is I'm leaning towards both math and astronomy and somehow end in physics because it's kind of a middle ground.

And far more interesting than the actual OP

well, I'm not proposing something to discuss, just asking for advice
Not in the mood to discuss sources of energy right now, sorry bro

It isn't.

Nevertheless, the scheme is far more appealing than any other solar power scheme proposed. I simply DO NOT understand the perverse fascination with photovoltaic cells...
