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'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
Hi there! This is Vmax, an old (relatively, but the profession can definitively accelerate aging) aerospace engineer now returning to physics in my 50s. I can definitively use some help in refreshing long forgotten topics and guidance in tackling new challenging subjects in modern physics. I'm looking forward to engaging in interesting, informative and stimulating conversations with you all. Have a great day!
