Hello,

I was looking through the HSC physics syllabus and I noticed a number of options e.g. Astrophysics, Medical Physics. Just wondering if you choose these subjects as specialised topics in the HSC? If so what do you recommend?

Thanks

Yes you choose it as a specialised topic. You choose these options as a class's together in conjunction with your Physics teacher. Btw a friend of mine told me that Q2Q was interesting so have a look that but in the end its your decision. Good luck.

If you want to do something that will be useful in future (chemistry and physics at university-level), I'd say you should do quanta to quarks.

Q2Q was very fun but your teacher may decide

Quanta 2 Quarks!!!

Best one is age of silicon. My class did medical physics though

Deserving of the title "Swagking" lol.

If you are going to do Mechanical, Mechatronic, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer Science, Software or photovoltaics engineering, then I would highly recommend doing Age of Silicon.

were going to be doing astro

Astro's not bad, just a bit pointless imo. But then again I'm honestly not that interested in space exploration etc because lol who cares the Earth is already pretty damn perfect and holding us together and space stuff takes up so much money LOL... but yeah astro is good in the sense that its all rote, they can't annoy you with applied theory like they do in core topics so free marks!

Lol whether it be now or 1000 years from now, with some current trends the Earth won't be able to hold us together for long gg.

Need resources from space lol.

Its not a pressing problem
There are other more important things where all the space exploration money could be spent, rather than hunting for aliens or observing binary stars

Let's stay on ground for the time being...

I wasn't exactly referring to those, but yeah you are right on the point that money could be spent better elsewhere (also, we should stop crashing this thread over non-topic posts).

i'm glad were doing astro, really love space and all that stuff
