I’m obsessed with physics but suck at physics

Really enjoyed “philosophy of physics” in undergrad though.

In another life…perhaps.

Math is hard and ruins everything

My undergrad is in physics. I enjoyed it, but I'll tell you that lots of times the concepts are more interesting than doing the math, some of it gets pretty obscure, although sometimes you really get a deep insight. I remember in my final year taking a General Relatively course (lots of tensors and tensors calculus), and there was one lesson I distinctly remember the prof explaining that this particular tensor described the curvature of space, and I remember think in my head "haha, okay if you say so". I got a decent mark in the course because I could do the math, but I really couldn't see how the math connected the concepts. I did my head school in the more experimental with rather than theoretical. Much more fun getting your hands dirty.
