I've completed my BS in Maths.but i love physics and i want to do fundamental research in particle physics and cosmology.now,should i need a BS in physics to start properly?

I don't know if it would be feasible for you, but some people would go for a masters rather than a second BS.

i know that.but i fear that i'll miss the natural growth of the subject.that will terminate in frustration,i feel.

Natural growth? How is spending another 3/4 years getting another Bachelor's degree "growing" ?

Congratulations on completing your BS in Maths! It's wonderful that you have a passion for physics and want to pursue fundamental research in particle physics and cosmology. While having a BS in Physics may be beneficial, it is not necessarily required to start properly in the field. Many successful scientists have backgrounds in related fields and have made significant contributions to particle physics and cosmology. What is most important is your dedication, curiosity, and willingness to learn and adapt to new concepts and techniques. I would suggest considering taking some courses or workshops in physics to supplement your knowledge and skills, and also seeking out research opportunities in the field. With determination and hard work, you can definitely make a successful transition into particle physics and cosmology research. Best of luck to you!
