How kiked is physics?

I'd like to know how jewed the subject is.

Physics rely on models, which are just assumptions in order to calculate specific things. Those models do not describe reality tho.
Just go for it.

Hps Pythia majored in physical sciences when she went to college.
 
I apologize for the stupid answer I gave you about fats. I was being very selfish.

How was it selfish?

Instead of this unnecessary philosophy and instead of being very selfish by not answering your question briefly and specifically;

I would like to invite you to take ten minutes of your free time to read the articles below.

Many people do not realise the importance, value and power of knowledge.

Complexity is the foundation of advancement and development. Knowledge, together with resources and time, are the most precious things in the eternal and infinite universe.

I could have written this response in a more objective and specific way, emphasizing the most important things and finally providing links in case you wanted to elaborate further. That's what I mean and it would have been a much better response.

I have explained everything above. Henu the Great probably refers to this.

Not all fats are the same.

Saturated fats of animal origin - butter, lard, fatty parts of meat - are found in a solid state and should be taken in moderation (no more than 10% of total daily intake).

Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are generally found in liquid form, mostly in vegetables and fish. This type of fat counteracts cellular ageing. The famous omega 3 (found in oily fish) and omega 6 (vegetable oils, dried fruit), which among their many beneficial effects protect the cardiovascular system and the cells of the central nervous system, are unsaturated fats: to benefit from their positive effects, however, their intake should not be excessive.

Finally, hydrogenated fats are fats solidified through a chemical process (e.g. margarine) and are contained in many industrial food products, snacks and fast-food products. They should not be consumed because they promote cardiovascular diseases.



A key point is to understand that all fats are not the same: 'good' fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats while 'bad' fats include, primarily, trans fats from industrial processing and saturated fats. Trans fats should be less than 2% of the total energy derived from food to reduce the risks to our health, especially cardiovascular.

If we were to analyse lipids only from a chemical point of view, we would see that they are all quite similar. They have a chain of carbon atoms linked to hydrogen atoms. What changes is the length and shape of the molecule and the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms. Although small, these chemical differences lead to major changes in biological form and function.

Saturated and unsaturated fats

Saturated fats are generally solid at room temperature and come from animal sources. Conversely, unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and of plant origin. An exception is palm oil, a vegetable oil that contains a high percentage of saturated fatty acids. In addition, through an industrial process called hydrogenation, we are able to obtain solid textures from vegetable oils, such as margarine. In this way, unsaturated fatty acids become saturated with the possible formation of trans fatty acids. Recent scientific discussions have led to the decision to reduce these for food safety reasons.

It has never passed to my mind that your response was selfish, it was actually helpful.

I'm glad I was helpful but I feel the need to improve.
 
I would avoid studying Physics in Italy. I was enrolled in it for a semester at the University of Pisa, which is allegedly one of the best in Italy for the subject, and it was a huge waste of time. Too little lab work, which is essential for STEM subjects. Also, almost all exams are oral, which is a useless assessment method for Physics (and any STEM-related subject). If you REALLY want to study Physics, go abroad like in any English-speaking country or in the Netherlands. No point messing around with people who comb giraffes all day.

Also, I don't know what your high school Maths programme was like, but you should be pretty good with calculus. That's differentiation, integration, limits, and all related theorems. If you don't do that, you're going to be at a severe disadvantage compared to other students coming from a purely scientific background (i.e. Liceo Scientifico like me). There's no point in doing physics that anyway.

I agree with others that hard sciences (as opposed to soft sciences like social sciences and human sciences) are the least cucked. The problem in those areas is how limited you are nowadays in doing research, not with the current knowledge itself. Another problem is how they put words in scientist mouths as if there was a 100% consensus on theories. For example, the Big Bang theory is just a theory (a theory is not fact yet). Same with the Ice Age. For the declassing of Pluto, only less than half the scientific community of the time voted in favour. So, it's debatable whether it's a planet or not. It most likely is, though, given the powerful influence it has.

I am interested in studying physics and geography for education in a certain city South of Dresden
Charles university is off table because I didn't apply in time and they do not let anyone in without scoring really high on the entrance examinations
My question is whether I will be taught enough to have some real knowledge of physics
