1) If you have a BS in physics, what is the minimum amount of time to get a PhD in physics? Typically, is it best to get it done quickly or take your time with it, maybe getting your masters first? Also, if I don't want to become a professor, is it really worth me getting?
2) I want to get into watching Leonard Susskind's lectures from Stanford (on iTunes U), but I am wondering what order I should watch the different classes in, if it matters. Here is the list of courses:
-Classical Mechanics
-Cosmology
-Einstein's Theory
-Quantum Mechanics
-Special Relativity
-Statistical Mechanics
-Modern Theoretical Physics
-New Revolutions in Particle Physics: Basic Concepts
-String Theory and M-Theory
-Supersymmetry, Grand unification, and String Theory
-Topics in String Theory
When would these courses usually be taken for someone? Like 4th year undergrad? Also, what topics should be known before watching these?
Thanks a lot!
