I want to be a physicist as well, I'm 2 years away from my Physics B.S. ^^

I have studied chemistry and physics deeply from a young age, years are coming close. Is it possible to get a Ph.D In Chemical engineering while being illiterate in technical science? if not how would I study in basic engineering?

They did not say why or what impact gamma Ray bursts have to do with anything. In fact they seemed to have a lot trouble relating there career back to day to day life!

Seems to me the only relationship it had to them was that it was cool.
