The Physics Major

This video mostly goes over two of the biggest classes and fields you learn about as a physics undergrad which is quantum physics and classical physics. I will be going over more classes (in less detail) and more information on the major itself, who it's right for, careers, etc in the part 2 video.

These videos are always a rollercoaster for me. So many ptoblems that seem so impossible now, but then he says, "don't worry about this stuff now." Then I take a sigh of relief.

Like if you know it was Brachistochrone curve because of Vsauce !

I'm going to be a physics major, but I'm stuck between astrophysics and quantum physics; both are so interesting!

edit: it’s been a year since I’ve commented this. I’m a senior in high school and going to major in physics/minor in math next year. I’m leaning towards quantum mechanics but I realized that it doesn’t really matter which one I choose yet for my undergraduate. Shoutout to the one comment that basically said i was in a state of superposition.

Damn this would've been so useful for high school me. Take heed comment section, I'm in 2nd year physics and everything this guy is talking about has shown up in my course!

One of the best physics videos I've watched. Inspiring! Imagine learning a subject like physics with Zach. I'm starting physics 1 in the fall. Very excited!

Thank you for making these physics videos. For years I was interested in physics and had to resort to older documentaries to get the information I wanted to learn. Your videos have made it so much easier to find that information and as an incoming physics major this fall, you have more than reassured me on my decision. Been watching your videos since the start! Keep doing what youre doing!

[ismaelaye]

I love your videos. They are so useful and have helped me decide what I want to major in. Thanks MajorPrep!!

I love your physics and maths major videos! These (particularly physics) are the fields of which I'm hoping to major in during undergrad when the time comes.

[joshiifruit]

I'm going to be an upcoming physics major this school year. So glad I've found this video! A lot of videos discuss what it's like to be a physics major (in my experience) and this is the only video I've watched that tackles how complex and bizarre physics is but also shows how amazing it is.

Great channel. Thanks very much for putting up these really useful and interesting videos!

If you love STEM fields, and ever have an option to study any one of the STEM fields, including Physics,
always choose Physics. Do Bachelors in Physics, and Masters in any other Engineering discipline you like. But you can still get a good paying job with a Bachelor's in Physics.
The reason is, with a Physics degree, you can get a job at almost any Engineering discipline, be it Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemist, Software etc... Since as a Physicist, you get to learn everything the Engineers learn, but in a much deeper level of understanding.

You did a great job on explaining physic. Thank you.

It's a warm summer evening, circa 600 BC. You've finished your shopping at the local market, or agora... and you look up at the night sky. There you notice some of the stars seem to move, so you name them planetes or wanderer.

Just wanted to thank you for the awesome high quality vids bro. They're extremely helpful, genuine, and informative.

[nukeful]

If you are between Physics and Engineering (physics-based ones like ME, CE, EE), I have some advice for you. Only major in Physics if you are willing to study for approximately 8-10 years and actually have a deep interest in the theoretical/research aspect of it. If you, instead, want to only study 3-4 years and work on real-world problems which involve applied Physics, choose Engineering. You will most likely be making more money than a Physicist (or at least the same, depending on your experience and the company).

[golubboris]

I discovered your chanel a few days ago and that's the video I have been looking for lol. I want to major in physics, but I'm still thinking.

[Jacob_]

I was unsure if physics was something I wanted to major in, but this motivated me a ton!! Thanks!!

[hbarudi]

The major I studied, but this video shows more about things in the classical mechanics class that we avoided aside from Lagrange equations. Those things are this path between particles optimization that we avoided but I still think it is important to learn it on my own.

[benmartin]

going in undecided, probably gonna do comp engineering, but these vids are still really helpful!

[ManishKumar-jmwr]

Thanks, now I'm gonna to entangled with your thought.
