maybe less aspie, but in terms of raw intellectual "horsepower"? theoretical physics is just a way more complicated subject than law or basically anything else on the planet that you can study (abstract math is up there too). |

I think he just got into law for the money. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2752449&forum_id=2#26900792) |

most of physics research is complicated enough that even mediocre physicists have to be pretty sharp. |

I'm not sure what a "top physicist" is - and it seems like a decent number of impactful scientists were sort of dumb but just lucked into something (and there's also a number who are super smart but end up working on dumb shit like string theory).
The easier question is which job is "harder" - being a top lawyer or a top physicist - with a top physcist being like 5,000x more complex and a top lawyer spending all day trying to arguing that semicolons do or do not apply depending on if its convenient or not. |
