<p>This thread is amusing in a good way :).</p>
<p>I was the best student in physics in high school that my physics teacher had seen in a while, and at Caltech I feel like a complete dilettante. Obviously, I’m not a physics major, so that’s not unexpected. But I was somewhere in the “real world” recently and I realized that</p>
<p>(a) I know an order of magnitude more physics than the average well-educated person
(b) at Caltech, I know (relatively) no physics.</p>
<p>Both good things.</p>
