I have been curious for as long as I can remember: at least 70 years now. My life has been an eclectic collection of adventures and studies, not all in an academic sense. I have a background in electronics, an AA in Physics (A simple comment marriage sidetracked my formal education), a US Army Veteran, and many hobbies and interests; I am a musician and a family man. Now, I am a caregiver for my wife with cognitive issues. The only free time I have, for the most part, is reading, so I am on a quest to discover what is happening within the realm of physics, especially how The James Web Space Telescope offers new ideas. So, I am reading all I can to get closer to current thinking, and I hope this forum source will be a significant path to achieving my aim. Thank You.

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...
