Inherent Asymmetry

Inherent Asymmetry Im not going to grad school next year, but I am taking the GREs in physics this saturday. Few things Im doing to prepare for it: sleeping 3 hours last night to drastically shift my sleep schedule into alignment with the 8:30am start time of the exam. And, of course, relearning all the physics I learned freshman/sophomore year, starting a week ago. From what I hear, MIT students tend not to do as well on the exam as they should, considering their preparation. The physics GRE tests very shallow knowledge of a broad range of topics, it will be unlike any test youve taken at MIT (well, maybe those tricky PRS questions you get in TEAL). I know math is the same way. Dont know about other subject tests. Anyways, since Ive got plenty of time before I actually need to use this score, doing well on these GREs is more a matter of pride than anything else. Well, no not exactly, GREs cost $$$ and are a real pain in the neck, itd be nice to call it quits after this. In any case, last night, I picked a classroom in building 66, parked my butt down for 3 hours and took a full length exam. I got up to leave at about 3am, gathered my stuff, pretty tired and confused, turned around and saw this: (Someones conclusion at the end of a lengthy economic analysis.) and everything was illuminated.
