Would you be able to provide an assessment of the high energy/string theory theoretical physics ranking of the four programs below:

Graduate program in University of Florida
Graduate program in University of Alberta
Graduate program in UC Davis
ICTP Postgraduate Diploma (High Energy, Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics)

I'm looking primarily for the reputation and availability of high energy.theory/string theory professors as advisors and the chances of a good postdoc job offer after graduation.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

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...
