alt Hacker NewsLet's subject that claim to some basic arithmetic.
A university would expect maybe eight undergraduate level courses, four credit hours per course, and you are expected to do three hours of study per hour of credit per week. That's 1,500 hours.

much less dopamine, video games are realy good at stimulating that. Studying physics not so much.
Don't get me wrong Physics can be satisfying in its own ways but the amount of dopamine rushes you get from cracking a hard problem are few and far between. Often enough you just get frustrated and once you find the solution you think to yourself oh is that easy how didn't i get that before and feel absolutely stupid.
