Woo. our army of physicists is growing We're nearly ready to take over the world

[Swinely]

lol, merely missing a method of doing so :P

[Ana]

Well, we're all physicists, I'm sure we can come up with something...

[flaming-tubesock]

Surerly we can build a mighty lifter ( http://snipurl.com/s72v ) to fly on, or control the world weather patterns, or re-do some of Tesla's crazy demonstrations or something.....

I'll still be contributing over here even though I've finished my A-Levels (Well, to be accurate, on monday) and proceeding with my Mechanical Engineering degree. Hope I can still help everyone out. Long Live Physics!!!!! Don't you just love this subject?

[PabloCV]

Hello there! May I join? I'm doing Physics Standard Level for IB, 'cause my school doesn't offer Higher Level... and I did my IB Extended Essay on the Theory of Relativity, though I couldn't get much into General Rel. because of the difficulty of its mathematical model (The Essay was basically a model of interstellar travel according to the theory... quite cliché, if you think of it). Anyway, I just love Physics, and I'd really like to learn more, specially Theoretical Physics...
See ya!

hey, i would like to join.
fizx has always been my fav. subject

[A Y A Z]

i just finished with my A level fizx.
the exams were pretty easy if you compare them with the other year papers..

Physics is brilliant. Astrophysics in particular. The more maths in the physics the better.

I don't suppose you accept GCSE students here?

[Mohit_C]

I'm doing A Level Physics next year too. Now I can dedicate more time to it as I've dropped a useless subject which I never needed.

If you're interested in it, hop on board

Physics is awesome (at my level atleast ) but I find a distinct lack of people who appreciate it ^o) Most people prefer Chemistry

I don't know why... I hated Chemistry, never did any work, didn't understand it, and never took any notes because I was too shortsighted to see the blackboard. I got an A, but to this day, I've no idea how

Hah, you're like me then.

I do not get Chemistry for some reason :>.<: I haven't done my GCSEs yet but last two terms I managed to get an A - once again like you, and I have no clue how - but I'm still quite confused about it . I suspect it's because our teacher is teaching us the syllabus very poorly

Too short sighted to see the blackboard?

Yes, I wear glasses now. My eyesight's not as bad as that makes it sound, but the teacher made me sit at the back, and I was too shy to admit I needed to sit several rows further forward. The room was about 6 or 7 benches deep (imagine proper, old lab benches - the room looked like it hadn't been refitted since they built that part of the school!), and we sat four to a bench, one pair at either end.

[Ana]

I have to say, chemistry's pretty useless if you don't want to do anything in that line of study - noone's ever asked me to do a titration since

However, you can probably imagine my horror last semester when I had to do a module of... chemistry!

So why didn't you just get glasses then?

I don't know, I probably will need Chemistry because I want to do something in the field of marine biology... Maybe, hmm.

What is your line of study?

I think I was in denial about needing them


And I'd grown up with my eyesight, so thought it was normal - noone ever bothered to tell me it wasn't

Physics, as per my signature and this thread

I have to say, I can only conclude that my optician (who I'd seen regularly) was an idiot, because he failed to notice that I have astigmatism and extreme myopia in my left eye (that means I'm short-sighted and can't focus anyway - plus, everything looks elongated), and very mild myopia in my right eye (short-sightedness, which to be fair, probably only developed fairly recently).
