Hi! I'm Costa Rican and I fell in love with physics since August last year because I always had depression and tried comitting suicide for about 3 times during all my life and I was going for a 4th time but I started reading about relativity (random things) and I fell in love <3 if it was not because of this I know I would be dead by now, I'm 22 yo and the problem is that I was never taught physics during high School (only Biology) and I'm planning starting the career by next year, I quitted my job because I need to remember all the mathematical things I was taught during high school so I can start the career on a similar level as the other people who just graduated from high school, the thing is that I am teaching myself (math and physics) because public Costa Rican education sucks :sorry: I am really excited and passionate about it but do you think that it can work? do you have any suggestion of a start-point? (algebra? geometry?) Thank you!

Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
