Hi all, I have just joined Physics Forums, because I have been interested in physics and astronomy for as long as I can remember. But as a scared undergrad, I wasn't able to muster up the courage to do something difficult. Fast forward to my early 30s, and here I am going the self-teaching route. Fortunately, my new employer will pay for STEM education, so I can go back and get a post-bacc in what will be either applied physics or comprehensive physics. That brings me here, with the hope that I can connect with likeminded people who enjoy sharing knowledge.

Outside of physics, I enjoy soccer, reading, and a bit of gaming (board, video, whatever). Thanks for reading!

Thread 'Introduction: Independent Researcher in Foundational Physics'

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...
