Why I get high off Michio Kaku and the Science channel.

I have a passion for the theoritical aspect of physics, but when it comes to deducing shit from a pile of datas... i dont know...

Being a physicist will most likely be the pipe-dream defining my early adulthood. For this reason I will always feel the need to look up at those who had the abilities to make a living out of it. Thanks for all the applications your discoveries induced. You are the ones making the world a better place.

Then go freaking do it. The only thing harder than looking forward, thinking you can't, is looking back wishing you did.

Kaku is the man. Check out this vid: Seeing Black Holes Part 2 - YouTube

It's one of the better vids on black holes and if I remember correctly, Kaku is in that one...

But I will freaking do/try it, I'm just more or less lucid about my chances .

Do it. You only live once, chase your dream.

Physics is fun. Tough, but fun. Go for it.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that you should only go into hard science if you're absolutely certain that you want to go all the way and get your PhD, and even then, expect long years of low pay and an extremely competitive work environment. If you enjoy the science but want a more practical degree, you may want to look into engineering in your chosen field.

If memory serves me, and its been many years, but it looks like a scene from Blade Runner.

Edit: Yup, and what it contains is relevant to some extent.
Blade Runner - TEARS IN RAIN [Hi-Res Video] - YouTube

Not bad for remembering a scene i haven't seen in 20 years.
