Guide for career in gravity and cosmology

In summary, the conversation discusses the speaker's indecision between studying strings and cosmology and gravity in their first year of a physics degree. They seek advice on any tips or books for starting in the field, but are advised to wait until they are a senior to specialize. The conversation also mentions a possible opportunity for research with a university professor in the chosen area. The other person also mentions that either way, it will be good experience for an undergraduate degree.

Hi, i am first year in physics graduation. At first I thought study of strings, but over time realize a large uncertainty in the area and my attention turned to the area of cosmology and gravity. I want to know any tips and books to start studying gravity and cosmology and because string theory is a area so uncertain.

Why the rush in specializing? With only a year of physics done you only have a tiny slice of what is out there. When you are a senior you can start evaluating what you might want to specialize in.

Because in the next semester I already have the opportunity to start a small research along with my university professor of area I choose.

Sounds like good experience for an under grad either way.

We may have a language problem here. "Physics graduation" is not a native English term, at least not in the US. Which degree are you starting: bachelor's, master's or doctorate?
 

FAQ: Guide for career in gravity and cosmology

What is gravity and cosmology?

Gravity and cosmology are branches of physics that study the fundamental forces and structures that govern the behavior of the universe. Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass to one another, while cosmology is the study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe.

What are the career options in gravity and cosmology?

Some possible career options in gravity and cosmology include research positions in universities or government agencies, teaching positions, and jobs in industries that utilize these concepts such as aerospace engineering or astrophysics.

What skills are necessary for a career in gravity and cosmology?

A strong foundation in physics and mathematics is essential for a career in gravity and cosmology. Other important skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to analyze and interpret data.

What are the current developments and advancements in the field of gravity and cosmology?

Some recent developments in gravity and cosmology include the discovery of gravitational waves, advances in understanding dark matter and dark energy, and the study of cosmic inflation and the early universe.

How can one get involved in the field of gravity and cosmology?

To get involved in the field of gravity and cosmology, one can pursue a degree in physics or a related field, participate in research projects and internships, attend conferences and workshops, and network with professionals in the field.
