Late Start in Physics
Most recent answer: 04/16/2011
Q:
Unlike most physicists of today their passion developed early in life.....I am 60 and am so passionate about physics. I am not in a position to seek the education required....how can I get involved even at the lowest level? Also I have a question:
Once molecular manipulation is advanced many life changes will occur....one change in particular; it appears to me the monetary system will fall....how will we introduce extreme advances like this into society with the least negative impact?

A:
Maybe one of the best ways to pick up some exciting physics would be to start in on the beautiful 3-volume Feynman Lectures on Physics. Other readers may have further useful suggestions.
I don't get the connection between the monetary system and "molecular manipulation", which I guess means genetic engineering. I guess they're both things which we might screw up, but that's an extremely broad category.
