Philosophy with Economics :smitten:. Although, I had a long conversation with a careers councilor, who said that she didn't think commerce was for me. She thought that I would be more suited to physics and philosophy despite never having done physics before, which I though was rather strange. I'm keen to look into it - anyone have any materials (such as articles/books etc) or ways in which I can determine if I would really enjoy physics? Perhaps there are a few ideas I can read up on which would give me an idea if physics is for me? The extent of my physics reading was a few hours reading about relativity and time dilation which I found fascinating.
For the grand concepts, check out 'The Elegant Universe' on youtube
A good casual read of cosmology (so I've heard) is 'A brief history of time' by Stephen Hawking, and its sequel, 'The Universe in a Nutshell'
If you want to get into hardcore physics, check out 'Fundamentals of Physics' by Halliday & Resnick, it is a great introduction to undergraduate physics, covering a massive range of physics topics.
Books by Feynman are also an interesting read:
'The Feynman Lectures' - a more advanced 'Fundamentals of Physics', more for reading than studying; probably the quintessential physics book, which you could find in most physicist's bookshelves
'Six Easy Pieces' - a selection of interesting topics from his lectures
There are also some other quite philosophical books like 'Parallel Worlds' and 'Hyperspace' by Michio Kaku, and 'The Holographic Universe' by Michael Talbot
