@@notreyreyes your research sounds awesome too! if it makes you feel any better, genuinely most of research is CS and ML based despite being “physics” research
@@ismasanchezdetagle9361 I asked professors who specialized in particle physics for an interview and after a couple one accepted and let me on his team. the key for me was to not give up after getting denied.
Hey so I’m a rising 10th grader and I’m moving to a school in Las Vegas. The college that is partnered with my school is a 4-year university and they offer dual credit and credit for Ap classes. But they don’t have associate degrees. So do u think I should get my credit from a community college or just get 2yrs+ worth of credit from the 4-yr university?
My original plan was to get my associates degree but since they don’t offer it, I don’t know if it’d be better to transfer to a community college for associates degree or just stay in the 4-yr university and use the transfer credits for my bachelors wherever I go.
@@kingsleytheking An associates degree is very versatile. If you decide you want to go to a different cali school which is probable since there are many good ones, then all those credits can transfer easily. However, the credits offered solely by that 4 year university might only count as college credit for that school.
@@kingsleytheking There’s a difference between college credits for a university and AP & dual enrolled credit. The latter is highschool college credit that can be transferred easily to any school in that state aswell. So i’d make sure of the type of credit your receiving for taking those classes.
@@kingsleytheking this is a good concern to have, I think you should talk to your guidance counselor. Your state might have subtle differences from mine and a counselor can help you take into account everything you need to. I will say, if it was me I’d do what I can to get an associates degree because of how versatile it is, but still a guidance counselors opinion is more valuable than mine in these kinds of matters.
i love the reasearch you collected and manage to explain in such a way with passion and ease thats and upcoming 11th grader like me can understand lol , best lucks to you man
I’ve never used geant4 but we do use similar montecarlo simulations for particle collisions. geant4 is specifically for particles passing through solid objects I believe?
That's an interesting question and I'm not really sure. I'd say it's possible but the particle physicists at the time were looking for the Higgs along with its theoretical properties in the data, so I'm sure they would've been able to tell if a particle reconstruction was a Higgs rather than some defect.
So if I’m a rising junior in highschool and take ap classes and community college classes by the time I graduate do you think it’s possible to earn my associates?
I don’t really know much about this , that’s why I’m researching about it , but do you pay for AP classes? If so how much is it ? And how were you able to do your service hours and do AP classes? Please anyone tell me what you know, I am open to advice!
hey, so you don’t have to pay for the AP classes themselves. Those are part of the highschool curriculum of classes like any other, but if you are to take the AP test at the end of the year, which I’m sure you do, there is a fee for that. As far as I remember the exam fee was about $100 but if you request a financial aid then you might only need to pay about $50. The precise finances are something you really should ask your high school counselor about via email or in person.
Also if by service hours you mean the time I spent on my college degree classes while doing highschool, those classes were asynchronous meaning I could do them at any time outside of my main highschool classes. As long as your dedicated and put time into studying for both schools, you can do it.
Here's a tip for you, you should look at what research the physics professors do at your university and see if any of it interests you. Email them telling them explaining your current standing in terms of classes/relevant knowledge and ask if you can do research with them. Alternatively you can just drop by in their office hours. Getting to start with research early is a massive help in figuring out the trajectory you want to take in your specialty assuming you plan on entering grad school. It also looks good on applications😉
Thank you, I appreciate you saying that. I’ve been fortunate enough to make a good relationship with two of my professors and am going to be a research assistant this next semester. I was thinking of making a video talking about but figured I’d get more experience before I did. However, I’m not sure if I consider it a real research position as I’m just a first year student and will be spending much of the time learning, but I was hoping it would shine some light on the daily tasks of a particle physicist, like my professor is, nonetheless.
Do you have any tips for high schoolers like me? I’d like to go into physics but I really don’t know where to start. I really want to be prepared so all of this material later in high and college doesn’t hit me like a truck(since I’m in more difficult math science, etc classes).
Yeah, for sure! If you’re not a senior in high school yet I recommend getting involved with your school by joining a club or the national science honor society, which most american schools have. But aside from that I think it’s great you’re taking difficult math and science high school classes already. As for preparing for college material itself, learn to teach yourself. This isn’t easy, especially if school has been easy for most of your life. I highly recommend this www.lehman.edu/faculty/anchordoqui/168_online.pdf I used this as a self study source and a supplement to my physics course last semester. The information isn’t completely handed to you like it is in conventional high school textbooks but if you’re serious about trying to learn physics I think this is a good place to start. It has lecture notes, explanations, examples, and problems. Good luck! And let me know if you have any questions or how your progress starts going.
I took my physics 1 online and I really struggled thank god for the curve. Taking physics 2 spring semester in person. Hopefully I’ll do better !! Good luck to you as well
Same here. I’ll be taking physics II on electromagnetism this coming spring semester. From my experience, taking a class in person is much easier than taking one online. I admire your dedication and discipline. Thank you and good luck to you too!
