Hey,

You can call me Thor (ancient obsession with thunder and Nordic mythology). I'm 26 and in the past 2 years, I've read a ton of sci-fi. Most notably I read Alastair Reynolds' "Revelation Space" saga, which is IMO the most ingenious and fantastic creation in all of sci-fi's history. I've always been interested in the cosmos, but it wasn't until my journey with psychedelics began that I truly found a passion in all things Universe. Ever since I've dug deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos, and it's only a natural progression for me to come to a place like this.

I intend on writing sci-fi in the near future. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a place to go and read up some interesting science to back up my work. Behind every good sci-fi book goes a ton of actual research. Alastair himself was an astronomer and astrophysics PhD before he embarked on this journey, so I observe and learn from the best.

Cheers!

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...
