What classes do I have to take to become a quantum physicist.?

Question

I have already taken physics 1 but want to get more into physics. What should I take and how do i do it. I am 14 year old soft more and have straight A's

Answer 1

Lots of classes!

You will have to be in 2 different places at the same time!

Answer 2

Take as much physics as you can, but IMHO mathematics is more important.

Math is the language of physics, so if you don't understand the language the equations of physics will not have any meaning.

Math and Physics and also chemistry should do it for high school.

Then math and physics for college.

Have fun!

Answer 3

Oh, gosh, I would try quantum mechanics.  That's probably important.  And, of course, you will need to take all the other undergraduate physics classes.  And probably a lot of graduate physics classes.  In fact, you will spend six years in college and grad school taking physics classes.  But for now, you should just concentrate on math and science classes, and keeping your straight A's.  And maybe do well in your language classes.  As a rule, physicists aren't good with language, so it would be nice to get a little better at that so you can outshine your peers.  By the way, it's sophomore, not 'soft more'.  You'll fit right in!

Answer 4

Math and more math. All the physics you can cram in.

Answer 5

If you're uncertain what classes to take, use the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle: if it sounds too hard or confusing, you probably need to take it. Other than that, get a cat named Schroedinger, a bumper sticker for your car that reads "My Other Car is a Tesseract", and a T-shirt that says "It's a Boson Thing - You Wouldn't Understand" or "Free the Pi Mesons!".  I'd suggest you not wear this shirt on any dates, but you probably won't be dating much so never mind. And it may sound Strange, but whether you're feeling Up or Down, start eating your lucky Charms every day (and be sure to save the box Tops, and get all the marshmellow out of the Bottom of the box). Oh yeah - and rent "Prince of Darkness" and let me know if that whole tachion thing makes sense. Oh and one more - next time you're at the beach and you see the Statue of Liberty half buried in the sand, and you see a bunch of rifle-wielding apes on horseback riding toward you, you'll know you've demonstrated the Twins Paradox!

And if the whole pure science think gets too hard or boring, you can always drop out and become an engineer - it's not a bad life. Of course even engineers can't be sure of where they are and where they are going at the same time...! Good Luck!
