In summary, age can present challenges in learning physics, but it is not a definitive barrier. While younger students may have more flexibility in grasping complex concepts, older learners often have the advantage of life experience and a more developed critical thinking skills. With dedication and the right approach, individuals of any age can successfully learn and excel in physics.

Howdy, I am 40+ year old math teacher(teaching 13-16yo kids). On my old days, I decided to study some physics. I have always been interested in physics but now I am really getting into it. Sorry for my bad english...
