What a great time to be an undergrad studying physics!

Better to have studied a century ago. In 1904, before relativity, QM, nuclear physics and the big bang, at least you felt that you had a good grasp of things.

I was planning on sitting in on Weinberg's class in the fall, but maybe I should wait a few years.

In my day, you could study Physics without a lot of complicated math. Then I graduated High School.
