i am preparing for masters in physics after completing an engineering degree in electrical engineering. Messed up my degree because after a year of entering it i realized physics was really my calling, but due to financial constraints i simply could not leave engineering and pursue physics in the middle. So my engineering studies were a combination of torture and depression, my love my girlfriend left me because of this,we were together for 3 years. i had lost hope of ever completing my degree and have been very close to suicide a number of times but i eventually got the degree last year...after 6 years of starting it. I am not hoping for a good engineering job, i am only hoping to study and research in physics for the rest of my life no matter what job i do. i lost my love, i lost my chance for a good degree, i have no money but my love for physics keeps me wanting to live.

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...
