RE: Ask a theoretical physicist turned teacher, lecturer and author

July 21, 2017 at 1:50 pm (This post was last modified: July 21, 2017 at 1:54 pm by Kernel Sohcahtoa.)

My apologies if my question is vacuous (or if it has already been asked), but out of curiosity, what skills are absolutely necessary for success in theoretical physics? Do you have to be impossibly intelligent, incredibly curious, extremely focused, etc.?
