10 questions · two minutes

1. Your measurements disagree with the theoretical model by a few per cent. What do you do?

2. How comfortable are you with advanced mathematics – differential equations, linear algebra, complex analysis?

3. You have to choose a research group for your thesis. How do you decide?

4. How do you feel about writing code to simulate a physical system or analyse large data sets?

5. The programme is taught in English and your group includes physics graduates from different countries. How do you see that?

6. You come across a preprint claiming a surprising result in your area. What do you do?

7. An experiment needs weeks of setting up and calibrating before you get any data. How do you feel?

8. Would you be willing to present your results at a conference and answer tough questions?

9. A company asks for help modelling heat flow in a new device. How do you react?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Physics?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Physics
Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη), translit. physikḗ (epistḗmē), lit. 'knowledge of nature', from φύσις phýsis "nature") is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.

Physics
It is impossible, and it has always been impossible, to grasp the meaning of what we nowadays call physics independently of its mathematical form.
Jacob Klein, Greek Mathematical Thought and the Origin of Algebra (1968)

Physics
The supreme task of the physicist is the discovery of the most general elementary laws from which the world-picture can be deduced logically. But there is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance, and this Einfühlung [literally, empathy or 'feeling one's way in'] is developed by experience.
Albert Einstein, Preface to Max Planck's Where is Science Going? (1933)
Wikiquote
Physics
Theoretical physicists live in a classical world, looking out into a quantum-mechanical world. The latter we describe only subjectively, in terms of procedures and results in our classical domain.
John Stewart Bell "Introduction to the hidden-variable question" (1971), included in Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics (1987), p. 29
