I'm just in need of serious helps from others.
I'm doing my first year of A level but still don't know what career fits me. I love physics, or die for it to the point I learned mostly the basics understanding of quantum,relativity and the chapters of O and A levels 4 years ago from now but one cannot play a game without a goal. But I've always wanted to innovate and mechatronic interested me the most but I also like studying design and now I see design engineer. I'm puzzled please help me elders

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
