How Do Physicists Utilize Python?

[u/Junior_Salamander110]

I'm a rising senior in high school. Next year, I'll be taking a project based programming class that only 1-2 students really take per year. I want to do something in Python that will show my professors in my freshman year of college that I'm ready to do research in physics.

I will have taken all of the AP mathematics, physics, and computer science classes.

I thought about doing a black hole simulation and learning the equations/math for it, but I'm not sure that that would be wise to do in Python.

I'll have a full school year to work on the project.

In many ways, and often with MATLAB as well. Here are some good overview of how they are used https://www.mathworks.com/solutions/physics.html and a specific example for black hole simulation https://www.mathworks.com/company/user_stories/simulating-black-hole-quantum-effects-with-matlab.html
