Greetings,
I have a Ph D in Physics from Yale (Atomic/Optical physics experimental) but have not been actively involved in Physics for a about 15 years or so, depending on what you mean by 'active'. My goal in joining here is to seek out interesting discussions, especially about quantum physics (my primary interest is pedagogy, but also interested in philosophy of measurement). FWIW if there are any discussions of Physics and Music, i will jump in there as well!
Cheers!

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...
