TED talks make me think

Career assessment & aptitude tests say I would be an excellent theoretical physicist.

I can calculate 3 oranges but it dont mean there are 3 oranges. we have the numbers for things that may not exist. goes for the economy too....lol

The problem is, we simply have no idea if we’re on the right track, because the theory isn’t verifiable. (from Not Even Wrong) This is true tho which is why it is my next job....Who knows if I'm right or not? Uh huh...Google Not Even Wrong, the source for the last 2 checkins

After the recent news that being a mathematician is the best job in the US, next month’s Popular Science magazine has come out with a list of the worst jobs, not overall, but in the sciences. “Theoretical Physicist” makes the list, right in between “Monkey-Sex Observer” and “Vermin Handler”. Here’s the text about this:

For much of the past century, physics was an exciting, wide-ranging exploration. But to be a theoretical physicist today, you pretty much have to stake your career on one incredibly popular but pretty much unprovable notion: string theory. Since the idea that the universe is composed of small vibrating “strings” gained a following in the 1970s, the theory, which in some forms posits 10 dimensions and seeks a unifying “supersymmetry,” has captured the theoretical-physics community in the U.S. The easiest way to earn an appointment is to dive head-first into a branch of string theory, which dominates the top programs at Princeton, MIT and ...

In the study of Theoretical Physics this looks like an ancient astronaut drawing. it is a quantum theory calculation. WTH??? What happened to numbers? No wonder I never took algebra....

For this weeks picture we have a black hole and this is the basis of almost all theoretical physics. They are obsessed with black holes. . So enjoy the theory of the black hole which does exist, so I don't think it's theory anymore. Perhaps now they are figuring out how they got there. I say by design. That is my theory this week.

My theory this week is that nothing makes much sense in the long run. It is all crap. Next week i may have a better theory, meanwhile prove me wrong or I am right!!!

Hey I feel a little cheated here. No Twitter tab??? What if I want to tweet about quantum physics and theoretical science???? They actually have a book I suggested called GET THIS "Quantum Physics for Dummies" I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure there is no way to dummy that subject down. then again I never passed 4th grade math. REALLY there is such a book and i can't tweet it. Theoretically I may be pissed off

added relevant info (I think) In theory I did...picture is from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Zürich. or so they say, but it might be just a theory..... ponder that

So this is gonna be my new job, cuz I make up whatever crap I want to add a bunch of squiggles on a chalkboard and call it a theory... Whatever. easier job than being a senator perhaps....
