I wonder if it's possible to have a really high iq and be poor at learning physics
>>
>>7754312
no sorry you're just retarded

Yes, I have a genius IQ and I'm poor at learning physics. I always try to study QCD but then I get distracted by more interesting and more intellectually challenging things due to my high IQ.

I have the same problem, although I specifically get distracted by things that are more interesting and intellectually challenging than the ones you get distracted by, due to my high IQ, which is higher than your high IQ.
>>
>>7754312
Most people with high IQ can't learn physics.
IQ is just a minimum requirement for learning something (usually it's actually much lowers than you'd think).
(Lack of) Motivation, persistence, and time are what keep most people from learning it, not IQ.

i have an 137 iq and i hate physics -> learning physics is impossible.

motivation > iq

Due to my IQ that is superior still, I'm often distracted by solving advanced problems in my various areas of interest.

My IQ is so high that I'm going to kill myself

I have IQ about 87 (thus I am really bad at figuring things out for myself on my own) but I have master degree in physics. Therefore I would conclude that IQ has very little relevance to learning physics.

Besides, a computer simulation can have zero IQ but still be very helpful in researching physics.

From my experience learning physics is all about accepting, testing and applying the quasi-mathematical apparatus used by physics.

Discovering *some* new things in physics may require high intelligence, but many discoveries happen by accident with people not even trying to discover them.

Yes. A lot of genius historians and writers probably sucked at physics. On the other hand, there are physicists and chem professors who can't write worth shit, unless it's a technical paper.

IQ does not determine well-roundedness.

>>7754312

This is such a legendary shoop I cannot believe it.

Fucking hell.

What about cunts who are good at learning math but have difficulty grasping physics concepts. What do you make of them?
>>
>>7754312
Yes, shitty teachers can make you poor at learning anything.
>>
>>7754312

Yes it is OP, quite simply you're a dolphin who was cursed/blessed with a human form.
