AI Thread Summary
The user is seeking assistance in experimental high-energy physics, specifically within the ATLAS experiment at CERN, due to an unproductive relationship with their current advisor. They require help with various physics questions and guidance on resources to enhance their research skills. The user feels isolated, as their colleagues are globally dispersed, leading to delays in receiving advice. They are looking for a supportive community or forum to facilitate quicker interactions and feedback. The ongoing pandemic has complicated traditional communication methods, but there is hope for a return to normalcy with rising vaccination rates.

Summary:: I have an advisor, but the working relationship is short of being productive.

I am searching for a place to go for general help, my field is experimental HEP physics. The things I need help span from random physics questions that I think about at night to pointing me in the right direction to find resources that will help me solve a problem. I want to become a well rounded researcher and do not feel like I am in a conducive atmosphere currently. Often times I get "stuck" and since my other colleagues are around the world (I work on the ATLAS experiment) at CERN, it takes almost a day to get small tidbits of advice.

If there is anyone here that is/and or was a part of ATLAS I could sure use the extra help! Let me know if you think this forum suits my needs.

The usual place for random quick questions would be colleagues in the same group. A bit more complicated in a pandemic but with increasing vaccination rates things return to normal slowly.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
