Hello,

So I guess this is where I introduce myself. My name's Mike, and I currently work as an internet manager/sales consultant at an automotive dealership here in California. I've always been fascinated by science and technology, and I'm most interested in cosmology and physics.

I made a huge mistake by not pursuing a college education immediately after high school, and have been working in the automotive industry for way too long now. The older I get, the more interested I become in science. I spend most of my commute time listening to podcasts like Omega Tau, The Titanium Physicists, The Infinite Monkey Cage and Ask A Spaceman.

Now that I'm way too old to be relevant in any scientific field, I've decided to go back to school and will be starting classes this summer. I should be able to graduate by the time I reach retirement age. :doh:

I'll probably be posting here asking for advice and guidance, so thanks in advance for any help!

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...
