What advice would you give a 16 year old who is not learning anything in school and wants to be a physicist?
rarely can be bothered to take courses online....

>> No.5525092

Every time I ask the teacher a question they are too fucking under qualified and don't know shit.

For example:
>How do heat receptors 'detect,' heat
>teacher "ill get back to you on that one"

>could you look near the circumference of a black hole through a telescope and see earth, as light has been pulled around the black hole.
>teacher "let me think about it"

I have just given up asking questions.

High school teachers in general are only there because they didn't enjoy the difficult aspects of their field.

Your questions may be too difficult to answer on the spot in terms simple enough for a highschool kid.

What is a heat receptor?

>> No.5525105

go to the site in the sticky on this board, learn shit about physics while you're still in high school, and tackle all your college physics classes with ease

or try skateboarding

I'm guessing he means heat receptors in skin

fuck, does learning commerce and legal studies have any fucking point

>MIT OCW has been available for years
>Has all the essential classes for a Physics Major
>b-but... what do I do guys?

Adrian Andraka probably saved thousands of lives at 16 by using fucking wikipedia and asking convincing professors to use their labs for his "hunch". You can't even use google to find that MIT has been hosting free online curriculum for some-odd fucking years.

You got your attention OP. Now please, embrace your destiny as a procrastinating stoner who "wants" to do shit, but won't put in the effort.

Funny haha, I have never smoked pot as I think it would prevent me from become a well known physicist

You know what'll prevent you from being a well-known physicist? Not getting good grades at school.

Now fuck off, underage fag.

Yet...

>it would prevent me from become a well known physicist

So optimistic... I wouldn't count on this.
