A useful website for self learning to be a good theoretical physicist
A collection of useful websites for self learning
I saw this website “HOW to BECOME a GOOD THEORETICAL PHYSICIST” (https://webspace.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/theorist.html) accidentally and found quite useful. As a result, I would like to share the link here to anyone interested.
As an experimental physicist, we spent most of our efforts on the technique aspects, e.g. build setups, commission them, measure physical quantities more precisely, pursuit experiments that beyond current capability, etc.. A better understanding of the physics/principles behind the experiments is needed to explain the results thoroughly. References in the link are very helpful to connect the theories to the experimental results.
Another valuable physics material is the Feynman Lectures on Physics (https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/), which I read during my undergraduate study. It is one of the best physics textbooks I would like to recommend.
