AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the hypothetical scenario of being restricted to a single area of study within cosmology. Participants express a desire to explore various topics, with specific mentions of the Hubble Parameter Problem and the general relativity aspects of cosmology, including topology and homogeneity. There is a humorous undertone regarding the challenge of such a limitation, with references to the "Kobayashi Maru," a scenario from the Star Trek universe symbolizing a no-win situation. The overall sentiment reflects a preference for broad exploration in the field rather than confinement to one topic.

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...
