- How did you find PF?
- Don't remember
Hi! Actually I was registered in PF a dozen years ago as graniar. Lost that account together with the old gmail in stolen phone while traveling in Vietnam. Anyway, wasn't that active here so not a big deal.
I always loved physics and engineering but worked mostly as a software engineer in nonrelated areas.
Sometimes I was rather on a verge of being a crackpot, trying to invent new things rather than seriously learn existing theories.
And quantum physics was always the biggest challenge. In other areas you could pick things here and there and invent something meaningful at the intersection of the fields. But not so with quantum physics. The thing is enormously huge for comprehension.
However, I believe it to be the most important knowledge in Universe and never give up on it. So, three years ago I gave it another try. Was reading one textbook until couldn't follow what is written, then switching to another and so on. All this being my sole occupation of course. After maybe 6 monthes I had felt that I'm getting really better at it, I kind of understand what is written but not own the knowledge. Reading turned into stupid memorization. I've got increased receptivity for external information but totally lost any creativity.
If only I could have something like a database where I could write down all those new concepts and navigate them, looking for correlations and inconsistencies and optimize it here and there while introducing new concepts.
The idea wasn't new, but this gave me the inspiration to revive it.
Several monthes of procrastination, 2.5 years of experiments and coding around the clock, and here I am, hoping that I've made a small step in that direction with [Link deleted by the Mentors]. Crawled out of my shell to introduce it, to get the feedback and to decide what to do with it next.
