I got excited to do this a couple years ago. (early 30s) Time and energy were a real killer.
Physics and Math in a formal setting like school is rigorous, not fun. I found it really hard to stay motivated. I don't know how I would practically use that knowledge, i would never contribute anything scientific. It would take years of grinding through foundational math and physics to get there.
- derangedHorse 2y agoOftentimes they're not even rigorous. At least in the math setting, many professors excuse their student's lack of comprehension on complex material when it's really bad teaching. Some attempts at explaining proofs are laughable and although their conclusions may be correct, because the covered theorems were proven by those much smarter than them, the steps taken to get there rarely follow the tight logical sequencing needed by those learning the material.
