A very strong essay that portraits my passion for physics which i keep following from 7th

Ex:I read 'Barton zwieback : Introduction to string theory' which is a graduate level text
book , I understood very little but I stuck on it and read till the last page
Ex:Read and understood all those popular books on general relativity ,quantum mechanics
,string theory,
I sacrificed my full life studying only physics (loop quantum gravity,gauge field theory)</p>

<p>RECOMMENDATION:
I have argued with my teachers a lot of time on the lame methods they use when solving physics problem so I am not very popular among teachers</p>

3)Hypothesis on some physics topics(completed)</p>

<p>THE END</p>

<p>1)Do you think I have a chance at Yale , Harvard , MIT , Princeton , Amherst college , Dartmouth ?
