I found the Physics Forums website from the notes of Dr. John Baez, who recommended this site for newbies like me (https://math.ucr.edu/home//baez/books.html). I figured if Dr.Baez recommended it, it had to be pretty good. I am interested in theoretical physics, especially electromagnetism. I am a relatively newbie to all of this, so I will admit I don't know very much yet. I am willing to learn. I am a former high-school physics teacher; however, that was almost 15 years ago! So I am playing catch up on a lot of this!

Thread 'Introduction: Independent Researcher in Foundational Physics'

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...
