Hello, I am an upperclassman, high school girl eager to learn as much as I can about physics. I know that's kind of weird since you all are adults who are either professors or else very knowledgeable in the field, but I joined in hopes that I will learn as much as I can from you guys. I have been studying various physics concepts on my own, including string theory, but due to my lack of a college level education in physics, it is sometimes difficult to understand all of the material.

I am extremely interested in majoring in some aspect of the physics arena later on in the future, maybe even becoming a professor. I am very excited whenever I am able to broaden my horizons concerning the subject of physics, such as joining this site, because I feel it brings me that much closer to my goals. So, this is just an intro about me and I hope to be discussing different concepts (especially concerning superstrings) with you guys in the near future!

(By the way, I know as much about superstrings as Dantheman does...but I'm still researching and reading material about it)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Welcome, infinitetime. You'll hopefully find lots of answers to your questions here. :smile:

Thanks Warren! By the way, since you live in California, do you know much about Caltech?

ZapperZ has a fantastic amount of information in his Journal. You can get to it by looking at journals or by looking in Academics forum, i believe a link is stickied there.

Highly suggested!

I know it's in Pasadena. :biggrin:

hello infinitetime

some of us are not very knowledgeable in the field at all

merely a breeze passing over the crop planted in it
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
