Physics & Computer Science

My dad and my physics teacher have (independently) advised me, as a CS major, to minor or double-major, in physics.

Do you think this will really help me get ahead? I want to end up doing something with computer/video games, not writing scientific software, so I think basic general college physics (required for CS major already) is enough.

Vector calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra are the basic fields you should be competent in to study physics beyond freshman lecture stuff.  Some fields are also heavy in statistics.

Also, real physical theories are falsifiable by experiment... it sounds like what you are studying is not Physics.
