mrxyz said:Like I said, I've seen it having an effect on people I've known throughout college causing them to dropout because they thought they were incapable of studying complex subjects such as these. And in some cases making them settle with a simple, unsatisfying, undemanding and low paying jobs.
And other than that, decrease interest in physics/science causing less people to take it as a study option, making further research and breakthroughs in the field slower.
That's why.
Learning physics requires a good amount of humility and patience, and in my experience, most humans find those things difficult.
Breakthroughs are happening all the time. The pace of research is mostly set by money - qualified applicants are rarely the limiting factor.
