A small pep talk followed by some practical steps you can take to find out if physics is a good fit for your intelligence. This video also applies to mathematics, something I find hard to separate from physics.

Before watching the video
I said yes because iam a positive person
Are you smart enough? Probably not. But if you let that stop you from the get-go, then you definitely aren't smart enough.
I think you don't need to be smart to study anything in particular, it takes willingness, sacrifice and hard work. What I found after my time in uni is that the ones that get the good results are not always the smartest but the ones that put the hours and have great memorystic abilities, usually, smart people don't do that well, I know it sounds cliché but it is true.
Portuguese pls
if you have romantic idea forgets forget it !!! There will be no women, none like the one above its going to be like a men's WC. All the nerd types in it. Women no, no sir
want to get into this ,study Sir Isaac Newton laws and mathematics. understand that and you are smart enough.
Why dont all smart girls look like her?
If you failed social studies? Forget about it.
I'm a junior civil engineering student. I've never been more relieved than when I finished up my pure calculus/physics courses. Bless everyone's soul who can find their way through a physics degree, that sounds miserable.
The more useful question here is physics a good option for a career choice unless one has the intellect and inclination to go full PhD – otherwise, engineering fields have more pragmatic opportunities for careers. People well gifted in their math skills, etc., will be in the top tier of those fields.
So Australian accent?
She's being modest and telling me '' don't try to be Feynman ''. :') I'm hurt.
To be smart enough is one thing. To love doing it is the most important thing.
What if I’m not smart enough to decide if I’m smart enough?
I’ve started my physics degree this year. I could sit here and question my abilities all day long but at the end of the day. I just decided to go for it!
I use to want to study physics to have a better understanding of the reality I perceive, but now I want to do what all the great physicists of our time do: make a YouTube channel
No, but I did it anyway…
I'm smart enough to join MENSA, so…. yeah!
It makes sense to check out video lectures and study a university physics book. In this day & age, with all of the resources we have, there is nothing a resourceful person can’t do. “Not smart enough” is no longer a valid excuse.
