Is Quantum Physics harder than Rocket Science?

It depends on the rocket. Most anyone with the appropriate background, and given enough time and determination can get through an introductory textbook on quantum mechanics by themselves. read more

Quantum physics has just as much to explore as rocket science - in quantum physics one would be observing the fundamental particles of the universe and learning the secrets to the interactions between said particles and the four fundamental forces of the universe, along with much, much more. read more

Neither of them can be completely "mastered". There can always be better engines and fuels for rockets. But, rockets are harder to get good at building. read more

Best Answer: No, rocket science is a fairly mature field, and the physics involved is relatively simple. Rocket *engineering* is very demanding because of the extreme temperatures and forces involved, and some of the failure modes are spectacularly catastrophic. read more
