He’s good but doesn’t do the mathematics deeply.
The tough one you have to do which is key to everything else is Guage Theory which is a core of the Standard Model which is core then to chemistry and through it to semiconductors. That one is probably the toughest. Leonard Susskind at Stanford.
Without Quantum Mechanics, you cannot understand semiconductors. If you don’t understand semiconductors, all the different types of diodes and transistors have to become simple memorisation of their properties. The conductor band, valance band part of semiconductors then makes you get into Pauli Exclusion Principle which then gets into Standard Model, which then gets into Guage Theory. So I’d begin there.

This is great thank you so so much!!!

I would say meanwhile 80% of the internet is crap. 
So hints and tips from friends and people who are knowing about the matter are more than helpful.
Otherwise you will wade through tons of useless information as you said.
This is why modern physics / physics 3 is a prereq for semiconductor design courses in most engineering schools.
But deep understanding is only necessary for advanced research and really tiny chip design.
Understanding band gaps and the basics of how those function, with some vague notes about quantum tunneling, is enough to get a more than adequate understanding for many purposes. And those are concepts that show up in chemistry, many different paths to come at them.

I reckon if Einstein had not been born, what he did would have happened anyway a decade or two later anyway. If Newton had not been born, I reckon it would have been a century or more later. Calculus, differentiation equations, is core to everything, I cannot off-hand think of anything not reliant on it. Newton invented it.
Paul Dirac would probably have done most of what Einstein hadn’t.

Yes, but Leibniz is the counterargument for that one.
Sometimes there are ideas that require a certain amount of preparation, and when Newton came along they were ready.
All were geniuses, and important, but probably someone else would have done it relatively soon.

I agree the only real difference was their choices in notation for a lot of things so with out Newton we would just be stuck writing it a different format essentially
Ok, it’s at 522 now. That’s gotta be some kind of a bot registering to test.
@AnkerOfficial Just a thought. Maybe testing should be limited to forum members who have been registered for at least 3 months with at least 3 posts. This should eliminate most of the bots.

This sounds a reasonable qualification for testers in Anker “We Love Testing”

I’m sold on that idea! Looks like within the past year there has only been one other item with more applications. It was the Soundcore Life Q20 which had 793.
Anker sent this out to all inactive members a couple of days ago.
So the huge number applying makes sense.
It was send to me also, seems I should increase my activities!

I must really need to increase mine since I got two haha!

One day left with 599 applicants. At least there is 30 available . So you are telling me there is a chance 
(5%).
Applying costs no powerbucks, chances often worse in Powerdraw.
The reality are true testers are unlikely to be selected. As this test is of a strip including breaker, ideally someone puts a heavy load through it and tests to the limit. Only a few have that capability.
Hope community members heavily represented in the selected.
