Is it over for me if I try to speedrun HS physics in 12 months??

If I stop being a brainlet and actually apply myself, how many hours a day am I looking at?
>>
8 hours per day max or you will go insane

I would say 5 hrs max
High school physics is basically just glorified algebra mixed with some basic intuition. If you aren't a midwit, you can easily clear the mechanics, EM, and thermo hurdles in a year.

Studymax that shit
>>
>>16974266
think of it as learning to play an instrument
it takes time
sure, in a year you can be much farther along, but even then, it sometimes takes a year+ of fermenting for a previously learned idea to really click
>>
>>16974266
shouldn't be that hard
just make sure you are fit with algebra, trigeometry, some basic calculus and vector stuff
start with kinematic and mechanics and when you got the hook of it look into thermo and electro magnetism and then some basic concepts and ideas from relativity and quantum physics
that should cover high school physics
I agree you shouldn't put too much time per day into it otherwise you'd freak out and maybe switch between topics during the day

12 months? It should take 12 days if you do it properly

OK now Will Hunting let's calm down.

Schools are built for the most retarded person it has. The actual limit for a motivated intelligent individual to absorb information is unironically one or two orders of magnitude greater. The entirety of HS physics has maybe 20 formulas, honestly more like 5-7 if you know how to derive them (like deriving velocity from acceleration by differentiation). AP physics has ~60, which is really like 20 by the same principle.

So even if you're soooo retarded that you take two days to internalize P=IV, you can learn it all in two weeks.

Not to mention, HS physics is what, 3 hours per week? More like 2 hours after removing holidays and such. So that's a few hundred hours even if you were actually listening to class lectures that take 1 hour to explain what a smart person could grasp from a textbook in 10 mins.
