So I don't know about many of you, but I myself am really into science, so much so I'm going to apply to a college for a PhD in theoretical particle physics. But one of the largest pains I can think of for staying up to date on the science going on right now, are the very journals publishing it. Yeah, I could go read something on Scientific American or whatnot, but I won't really be able to really read any of the hard hitting theory and experimentation without an expensive subscription to a journal like Physical Review Letters (prices can be up to over 900 American dollars a year for full paper copies). I don't have money to blow, so it's hard to try and read a good paper. Yeah, there's arXiv, but it may not always be reilable or easy to find the paper you're looking for.
TL;DR I just really don't like the current bourgeois science institutions.
EDIT: I'm not in college right now. I'm still in high school.
