Hey folks,

I'm a PhD student that stumbled into some stuff that's a bit over my head. My program is broad covering and geoscience is under the umbrella of the program. I had been a part of some scientific work in the past regarding magnetic anomalies and it sparked my interest. I wanted to explore that as part of my program as it ties to Earth's magnetic fields.

I'm finding, however, that I'm pushing deeper into physics, mostly because my testing has been strangely successful and for now some of the results are making everyone scratch their head in the field of magnetic anomaly detection. I originally just wanted to document some basic phenomena but the results are interesting enough that I have to keep digging deeper to figure out the "why" and "how" .

I'm going through the resources in the thread posted above and I've also been reading/watching various tutorials online. Does anyone else have experience or pointers in playing catch up while in education program?

Welcome to the PF.

What does your Academic Advisor recommend? How about your Research Advisor? :smile:
 
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. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
