how do you cope with wanting to be a theoretical physicist on the cutting edge of knowledge but knowing for a fact your IQ is too low for that to ever happen. Really sucks going through high school being easily the smartest person there and thinking you're a genius, acing every standardized test and AP exam, then getting to an elite school and realizing you're just a midwit retard. Yeah if I worked really hard and got extremely, insanely lucky maybe I could be a midwit professor somewhere teaching other midwits, but that doesn't sound appealing at all. I'll never mentally grasp the mechanics of the universe the way feynman or witten does. I'll never contribute anything meaningful to the world of physics. What's the point? Why even live?
Good ending to your whole tirade. There's no reason to live. Which is why you should stop doing it.
>>16992547The world needs ditch diggers too! Please, stick to your god given skills and do not concern yourself with the trades for those who are different.
Is this the one where you pick a door after the fact and improve odds?
>>16992547Assuming by physics you mean particle physics, that edge hasn't cut anything in decades. Not because they're not smart enough, but because there's nothing to cut in a desert. If you want to do cutting-edge research you should choose a different field.
>>16992547feynman was 110 IQ and made it, you just have to convert to judaism
>>16992628his g was 110? didnt people say his iq was 125? i call bs
>>16992667either way 110 or 125 is still only the top 5%, if op is the smartest in his town he is probably in the top 5% globally unless he lived in a really retarded town
>>16992717having a g of 125 and 110 are completely different things
>>16992717I score around 135-145 on the iq tests I've takenbut I can't shake the feeling I'll never be half as smart as my physics profs.
>>16992614yeah I've definitely gotten this feeling too. The golden age of physics I romanticized so much in high school is long, long dead and we've plateau'd massively. Oh well it's still my favorite subject so I'll just stick with it for now and ignore my existential crisis...
>>16992628>>16992667there's absolutely no way his IQ was only 125.
>>16992963Or maybe it's just boomer orthodoxy that holds back progresshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deNKZV3yLpE
any retard can do well on ap exams lmfao. most retards can pass undergrad physics material. until you've gotten decent exposure to research your opinion on the field is completely invalid. you probably don't even know what theoretical physics is beyond slop pop-science youtube videos
>>16992547I made this boat wing in ground effect vehicle that uses a horizontal helical darrieus turbine to drive a Van de Graaff generator and microwave cavity gun through the center to ionize the stream of electrons which pulse with lightning in the cavity to propel a conductor underneath forward through induction. I don't know if it would actually work, but I could build a prototype with paper, glue, pvc, and aluminum >t. iq of a monkey
>>16992547Give up or try harder/smarter.Listen to richard hamming
>>16992999okay, what are the numbers?
>>16993029While I was thinking for the rear of the horizontal darrieus turbine where it's a ring supported on a stand, I'd make a halbach array of the ring to drive the generator. where the halbach array acts as a magnetic gear multiplier to increase the speed of the generator driving the output shaft of the turbine above wind speed in a feedback circuit where the rotor can slip due to inertia preventing overspeed. the center propeller connected to the wind turbine pushes negatively charged low pressure gas rearward as it generates thrust as the high pressure between the top of the turbine foil and shroud cause a coanda effect to occur at the outlet nozzle generating thrust from wind.
you just described the woman experience in academy. They go excited, believing that the patriarchy was holding them back, only to be confronted with the harsh truth that they are retarded hoes. Cheer up, because according to some AI service>Women have fundamentally shaped the field of physics, from discovering radioactivity to unraveling the cosmos, despite systemic historical barriers. While they remain underrepresented in tenured positions, pioneers continue to blaze trails. The field actively works to elevate female voices through targeted networks, fellowships, and mentorship programs. Women have consistently driven the most significant breakthroughs in theoretical and experimental physics
>>16992966the magic of being part of the tribe, you should try it
>>16993055you can call me a retard all you want but I draw the line at comparing me to mangela>>16992983you're definitely not wrong, but I went to a school filled with retarded kids so it artificially boosted my ego, I was the first person in the schools history to get 5 on every AP, I also had a 35 on the ACT and the second highest was a 31 but in retrospect I now see how meaningless that all was
