Once upon a time long, long ago, I was a physicist. More precisely, I received my PhD from the University of North Carolina for my work in Feynman Path Integrals, circa 1970. Subsequently, I became HoD at a South African university in computer science.

I have been retired for some 20 years. I am now active in numismatics (www.SouthAfricanMedals.com) but I still dabble around in physics and maths. For example, I really enjoy the Two Envelope Paradox. For amusement, I compose cartoons for the in-house magazine of my old-folks home, an example of my warped humour is attached.

Welcome to PF, Michael. :smile:
 
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...
