What branches of physics are the most saturated and which ones are the least for research? Taking a master's in physics and wonder where I should go and what I should avoid. If that matters I'm mainly asking relating to Europe.
>>16958515Condensed Matter/High Energy Plasma, or Chemical Physics (vaguely Material Sciences oriented). Im not super wow'd by Superconductor stuffs, but it may be a thing that leads to a neater thing if applied elsewhere.https://youtu.be/85WGqWTISj0>If that matters I'm mainly asking relating to Europe.Oh, sorry, nevermind...sorry.
>>16958565Do you mean that there are lots of phds there? Plasmas and Condensed matter are precisely what I was wanting to study during my master's (chemical physics isn't really a big thing where I'm going, there's like a molecular dynamics course but that's it, otoh a lot of materials stuff)>sorryOh I'm sure it applies here too! From what I've heard Europe is slightly better for mathematical physics but I don't know how different it is for other stuff.
>>16958570>Plasmas and Condensed matter are precisely what I was wanting to studyThats where I would go. As it gets closer to Chemical I would go more Materials direction towards CompSci-ish/Biology but that is a little too cutting edge.Everyhing from near zero cloud chambers to solar photospheres.
>>16958578I already have a heavy numanal/compsci background so it should be fine, I just haven't really done physics lol
>>16958623>I just haven't really done physicsOh, in that case you should dip your toes into the Maths of either Physics fields so you know if its a fit. Some fields use a specific perspective approach, it filters even "geniuses" because its not about being smart but how you naturally view reality, which also makes it naturally unsaturated.Plasma looks like it could be like that...but also depends on how they teach it, as Im applying it to like Galactic Berkland currents and coronal plasmidic fusions and such.
>>16958652Yeah I'm planning on doing a lot of electro and solid state physics this summer. I already have done some quantum physics and am rn doing a course on continuum modeling so it's all preparing me but it's not a full picture as of now - I really have no idea how condensed matter works say. It's hard to pick a field on something else than vibes tbqh rn, i just know to avoid astrophysics and hep lolI couldn't find anything on coronal plasmidic fusions, but i gather you're working on the earth's magnetosphere? How's that going? Is it annoying with the defunding I've heard about?
>>16958668>coronal plasmidic fusions, but i gather you're working on the earth's magnetosphereSun producing fusion via fusion arcs, producing combined as elements, I looked it up while researching about the sun being a gas as a model and that is being taught in universities. Picrel's work on his own channel talks about it and led me to look into it. It crosses Material Sciences, Geometry, Physics, Condensed Matter (hot), you name it...>It's hard to pick a field on something else than vibes tbqh rnI pick them based on correlation to the current project Im on and shit out a thesis thats only tangently related to said project....you *are* trying to radically alter hueman history with a groundbreaking discovery, *right*? One that invalidates all your professor's careers in a snap of the finger.I dont know, I just dont understand kids these days. You go to university to dunk on old people in front of a crowd, but then never dunk on the geezers! Horse->water.
>>16958694>fusion arcsPlasma* arcs. Scattered brained from wonky sleep schedule.
>>16958694Sounds tight af ngl>I pick them based on correlation to the current project Im on and shit out a thesis thats only tangently related to said project.Makes sense tbqh that is how I handle ungraded homework lol>...you *are* trying to radically alter hueman history with a groundbreaking discovery, *right*? One that invalidates all your professor's careers in a snap of the finger.Eh, I don't have the hubris necessary. I'm modest so I'd rather just create a new field, yknow.>I dont know, I just dont understand kids these days. You go to university to dunk on old people in front of a crowd, but then never dunk on the geezers! Horse->water.I mean unis aren't that full of old people, professors can be quite young here, and pretty chill. It is different in other places but there isn't much authority in student-teacher relations which is great. I used to be hated by teachers back in the old country lel
