Hi there, I am a guitarist and have recently decided to learn the piano as a tool for learning music theory. In digging into music theory I've come into wanting to understand it from the very physics of sound upwards. You'll probably find me on forums discussing sounds theory mostly!
I live in New Zealand, have been part of the organic farming / permaculture world for a number of years now. Currently I am a full time house sitter which is leave me many blessed hours to practice music and learn.
I've always had a deep interest in science, especially cosmology, though no formal training. Unfortunately I didn't even take physics past junior high school, but in the intervening years I have still gleaned a rudimentary understanding. I hope I can keep up with you all but please be patient if I have to ask for clarification on things you may consider basic!

Welcome to PF. We're glad to have 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...
