How did you find PF?
I was directed here by Marco Masi, Marco-masi.com, via a DM on Substack on how I can start to get my theories scrutinized and refined.
I am an independent researcher who has been working on a specific concept for over a decade and has now been able to rapidly accelerate my rate of study through rigorous “unbiased, factual, real sources cited” prompting of AI, specifically Grok.

I don’t assume to “know” anything for certain. However, I have been actively trying to scrutinize and break my theory without avail and would like help from those who are much more versed in the actual disciplines my theory applies to.

I ask for patience, raw scrutiny, and genuine receptiveness to theoretical concepts before completely squashing them.

Welcome to Physics Forums! Unfortunately, unpublished personal theories, ideas or speculations are not allowed here per the rules you agreed to follow when you joined PF:

Speculative or Personal Theories:
Physics Forums is not intended as an alternative to the usual professional venues for discussion and review of new ideas, e.g. personal contacts, conferences, and peer review before publication. If you have a new theory or idea, this is not the place to look for feedback on it or to ask for help developing and publishing it.

But we do welcome your future participation here to discuss mainstream science, as set forth in textbooks, monographs and refereed journal articles.

Welcome to PF!

As @renormalize has said at PF we have a hard and fast rule:

My apologies if this sounds harsh, but:
  • We DO NOT discuss personal research of any kind.
  • We DO NOT discuss AI-generated research.
  • We DO NOT discuss papers that haven't been peer-reviewed and that haven’t been published in a reputable journal.

We will infract with either a minor substandard warning, a more serious personal speculation warning or the most serious personal theory warning where the poster is banned from the site.

Please take some time to read our site global guidelines (see the link in my signature). In it you will find topics we consider unacceptable and also information about personal speculation, research and personal theories.

Thank you,
Jedi

I once asked AI whether some topological thing was true. It gave me a proof I didn't understand. Later mathematicians told me it was hogwash, nonsense. Since then I don't trust it. ChatGPT tends to tell the user what he/she wants to hear. It did do a great job of programming but there I could check what it did immediately and filter out the mistakes while it stroked my ego by telling me how awesome my intellect was.
