Need Advice I am looking for a research mentor.

0 Upvotes

I finished almost all fundamental physics, not mastering perfectly from memory, but I can perform with no error when there are resources to assist me —Which is research. But I am still a beginner, and I feel lost and I want to publish my first paper soon. If there is someone willing to tutor me, DM me. You can also check if I really master these things because it's desperate when you know my age.

My field is general relativity and quantum mechanics.

I will "Do my own work", I do not request someone to write the paper, I just want mentorship.

Research I have made this with my custom vector equation and many more like this as I was wondering how to make energy loss minimum. I am a new user who joined to get my answers only.

From my perspective it's an energy vortex simulation and I am not a coder nor a researcher although physics is everywhere.

I am a second year physics undergraduate student in India. till now, i have no participation in any clubs or anything related to physics. I wasn't even able to secure summer school or workshops in my first year. thus my resume is blank. i don't know what to do after my ug. will I be able to have a good future in physics

Need Advice advice for career change to physics

2 Upvotes

basically, my boyfriend (24y.o) is studying general medicine now, but physics and math has always been his passion, especially theoretical physics, he for sure regrets following the medical path but he doesn't think of having career change since these are all years taken from his life and i do respect that.

but just in case he wish to change that one day i want to be there to support him, so i just want to know if it's possible, how long would it take him? is it worth it? how can i support his passion better?

in a way i don't want him to be stuck doing something he doesn't like for the rest of his life.. but it's his decision

Rant/Vent Can I ask questions about basic physics one stuff in here

5 Upvotes

I’m a junior in hs and I’ve only taken algebra 1 up to this point—in alg 2 now so this is taking me out. Im honestly considering just dropping out because so far this has been borderline impossible without the prerequisites of at LEAST algebra two, but preferably pre calc which I’m not even touching yet.

HW Help [Quantum Field Theory]: Showing conserved current

Post image
25 Upvotes

For the above Lagrangian density, I'm asked to check whether the current J^μ is conserved. Putting all this in the Euler Lagrange equation and taking the four-derivative yields \partial_μ J^μ = -m²\partial_μ Α^μ. So this current is not conserved. I'm then asked to find a condition for it to be conserved. Would I just have to pick a gauge such that partial_μ Α^μ=0? Or would I have to apply Noether's theorem to find an expression for J^μ?
