to learn Physics

The best way to learn Physics I think is to say the words and go on. You can see this in the Talmud tractate shabat 63 and the Musar book אורחות צדיקים and Rav Nahman of Breslov in sichot HaRan Sicha 76.

But I admit this is not really geared towards passing exams in university.




But the thing that I noticed in Rav Nahman's Sichot HaRan is that in fact he says and repeats the idea that review is only after you have finished the book you are doing once. Not paragraph by paragraph.or chapter by chapter.

The idea of just saying the words and going on is treating learning Physics and Math as a positive commandment--just as learning Torah. This is based on Ibn Pakuda and the Rambam.
[But you can see this also in the ideas of Rav Nahman conserning the hidden Torah inside the work of Creation]

[The major thing in Physics I think is to have one or more sessions in Quantum Field Theory and a few more sessions in String Theory.]

[There is also the idea of שיעורין כסדרן sessions in order that Rav Isaac Luria brings concerning Mikra Mishna, gemara and the secrets of Torah. This I think is good to apply to Physics and math since that seems to work best for me. [However I can not say what works best for others. For someone in university I realize that lots of review probably makes sense.]\

[When I was at Polytechnic I certainly did a lot of review. But I did not get very far. The thing is that it is like that fellow at Reference Frame said that high level physics really requires  a minimum IQ. But that is to get to an expert level. But what I am suggesting is that Physics is for everyone--not just geniuses. But that is not by layman's books. rather it is by this method of Girsa saying the words and going on.
