At what age is it too late to get good at a complicated field? I wasted my high school years doing stupid shit, and have big gaps when it comes to physics and math as a result.
I did good in biology/chem/extracurricular biotech because it was interesting at the time, now pursuing a bachelors in mol. biology.
I'm 21. Is it too late for me to get good at maths and physics, so I can become a theoretical physicist?
no, you're good
clock's a ticking tho

27 is the number I've heard as the deadline for getting a degree for the most part.
If you haven't discovered calculus by the age of five you are a sub-180 IQ brainlet and should stay away from both physics and mathé

You got 8 years tops, just enough time to get a doctorate if you want to make an decent impact on the world.
I got my degree in math when I was 29, so no, it's not to late. I just have to ask tho, what is your career path? Are you interested in making a living, doing well, getting ahead, etc...? Theoretical vrs. concrete is the question here.

I don't give a shit about money or stuff like that, I want to be a scientist and I want to be able to achieve something in the field I'm in.
My question is simply if my ship for advanced math and physics has sailed
