Hi everybody!
Not really a new member as I've had an account for a while, but I've come back to theoretical physics after a few detours, here's the cliffnotes version:
1) Crappy undergrad degree from Pakistan, joined without high school math, was a nightmare.
2) Finished a master's degree from an elite university in Turkey - improved my basics somewhat, in a dept focused on condensed matter
3) Wilderness years [emoji14] (issues with substances, depression etc)
4) Quit a doctoral program (nanotribology) to pursue a second master's degree in theoretical physics (high energy/cosmology), this time in Italy.
So yes, I'm 29 and reviewing basic calculus and freshman physics while taking four graduate courses (fun!) - and I've realized I CANT DO IT ALONE. There's tonnes of small conceptual questions that take me hours to get (not very satisfactory) answers to which could be solved much disaster by discussing them here.
So, hello everybody! Looking forward to learning from everyone here
