Hello folks, my name is Cory Buott and while I am a only a physics undergrad, I have been interested in and passionate about physics my whole life. Initially, my focus was wave-particle duality, but this was at a time when the standard model was not the standard model.

My interest now lays in terminal physics -what happens at the termini of our universe, quantum physics -QM, QED, QCD, where it ties in, SUSY, and string theories. I am particularly interested in M-Theory and F-Theory. My largest curiosity however, is occupied with the physics of very cold -superfluid and Bose-Einstein States/behaviors.

I know exploring metaphysics poses problems in Empiricism/Rational but of course we all want to know the unknowable, so I spend a lot of time (perhaps wasted) pondering the nature of absolute-zero states. I had a prof once that told me to go down the hall and take philosophy when I expressed my interest here... the problem was... I had already taken philosophy and it lead me to physics!

I have spent a lot of time studying quantum physics and string theories, but I cannot say I fully understand many concepts here -especially geometries. Pilot Wave Theory is about the only thing I can actually fully get my head around. I will likely pose more questions than contribute, so have patients and bear with me.

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...
