Hello everyone! My name is Ben and I just stumbled across this site will looking up some science related things. I'm fairly young, trying to get through my first year of college. I ended up having to drop out of the first college I went to due to a bad GPA situation with a bad professor. (Rough day) but now I'm making my way through online classes at a community college to avoid debt. I have a deep love and interest for science. I was out of high school for most of my junior year due to treatment for my blood disease, so I was not able to get much out of high school, thanks to my illness. But on my own time, I read many physics books, did many projects with energy and physics on my own time, and watched about every space, and science documentary netflix had. Since I missed out on the prerequisites to study such subjects at a high end college, I have to teach myself now. I guess that's what I get for being the son of a rocket scientist! So here I am!

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...
