Okay, it's only good form to post something here, so here goes.

I joined the site on a whim, simply to see if I could get any ideas about how to explain a certain type of physical action that canoers and kayakers commonly experience (which virtually none of them understand), and I got some good replies.

As for myself, I'm no physicist. My education is within the field of biology and my work involves the fieldwork aspect of soils engineering (there's no actual engineering processes involved with what I do, but common sense sure helps a bunch), but I dare say I do have a knack for mentally visualizing the principles behind forces and motion, so some of the really basic stuff that goes on here might interest me as time goes on.

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...
