uhhh no. some are, but not even most.

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).

we had an ex-physicist working at my biglaw firm. he co-authored something with stephen hawking he said and said he used to do calculations regarding the universe some microsecond after the big bang. I think he just got into law for the money.

research shit. they just don't make as many insights as smarter physicists. and they stay away from the really abstract stuff like string theory/brane theory, etc.

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

why do you presume most people smart enough to be mediocre physicists have an innate desire to pursue math/physics for their entire lives

a very, very small percentage but the raw numbers are probably roughly equivalent, there are like a dozen top physicists

I think the average person in big law is about as smart as the average person who majored in physics in undergrad.

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.

getting to dick around all day on stuff that is in all liklihood entirely made up and based on a fundamental misunderstanding of reality while having to do hard math but never being held accountable for a single mistake ever doesn't really seem all that hard tbh

Dad was a physicist and i’m definitely much dumber. I doubt more than 2-3% are as smart as an average physicist
