Hello. My name is Donald Lively. I am 67 years old, retired USNavy (combat veteran, Vietnam, "brown shoe navy,"). I enlisted in the Navy before I could get drafted just after graduating from undergrad school. I studied biophysics in college but went no further in those studies after graduating. Subsequent graduate work is not in the sciences.
I live in the MidAtlantic area of the USA.
I have been a student of mathematics, physical and biological sciences since I started to read.
To day, i continue my studies in various sciences, from a universalist / integrationist / "renaissance man" approach, therefore, based on my statement above, I am not professional scientist nor a cadre member within any science vocation.
My main physical science interests - very generally - are astrophysics and astronomy, cosmology (though some people do not consider that "science"), particle physics, and a few others.
I am glad - at least for this newby moment - to be here.

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...
