Help Needed: Experienced Advice for Physics Course Enrollment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a person who is passionate about physics, particularly Special Relativity, and astronomy but has struggled with motivation, studying only about 10 hours in the past year. They seek advice on how to effectively resume their studies to pursue a physics course at university. Responses emphasize the importance of self-motivation and introspection to identify the underlying reasons for the lack of study, such as potential loss of interest or distractions. It is suggested that without addressing these motivational issues, progress may be difficult, and finding personal motivation is crucial for academic success.

help required from your exprience.
I consider my self quite a good physicist (I can think clear)
I really love Relativity (specially Special-Relativity.) I am good at maths (if it involves things that I do in physics class.)
I also like Astronomy (which in a way involves SR).
Unfortunatly this year I have been slack and studied maybe for a total of about 10 hours for the whole year :(
What are my options here? I know I cannot get into uni right-away (Physic course) if you have been in a similar situation please let me know what gives the most effective result (getting my physics course done, so that I can enjoy working)

Why were you slacking this year? Have you lost interest in the subject? Was there some other reason you were lacking motivation to get work done? Unless the problem was due to some medical condition that left you ill or excessively tired, I'm afraid there's no other remedy than to find your own motivation from within and buckle down to do the work you need to do. If you can't find that motivation, you really should consider the reasons, such as lack of interest, a new interest that is distracting you, etc., and address the reasons head-on.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
