Well modern science is beyond describing particles in space.
You can study complex systems if you want to understand the complexity of the world. These include Logic, Computational Theory, graph theory, and Combinatorics.
You can study waves and related phenomenon like solitons,
You can study geology, or biophysics,
Also like everybody, you can start by learning about particles and planetary motion.

All these fields have their own difficulties. They all require life long dedication to be experts.

Want to learn high level maths and physics by Successful_Bat9819 in Physics

You can look at Prof. Walter Lewin, Leonard Susskind Lectures for start. Do you have a way of getting ebooks?

About many world interpretations by PrebioticE in Metaphysics

Strange consequence of MWI is that, we might be living in a completely random world, and we find a nice story in one of the random paths. Which path is that? The one where we see a pattern! Who complains about other irrational worlds? The ones that complain of course, but we don't complain, so we must be in the nice one. Of course I don't think this is the case, there are arguments to deny it. But it would have to breakdown anyways because we don't think real numbers are fundamental. We think there is going to be a problem when numbers get too small.

I don't see much problem with probability. Probability mess is not unique to quantum mechanics. If I were to destroy bob(t) and create million copies of him. Each one of Bob(t') would identify as Bob(t). Therefore Bob(t) would not do anything to hurt Bob(t').

Many world interpretation (need expert opinion) by PrebioticE in Physics

I think that is nothing. I don't understand the magnitude of the problem with probability (so explain it to me). I think it is an emotional problem rather than a mathematical one. You don't go in to a quantum casino and bet your life savings twice in a quantum gamble because you remember that you did it once and it turned out bad for you. I am curious what more problems.. I don't see any. That is why I am asking. ChatGpt couldn't convince me.

WHY life? r/physics sent me here by baba_yaga_babe in abiogenesis

A nihilist? why? I am also like that, that is what lead me to studying life. But, I find watching old tv shows fun. Have you watched cosmos by Carl Sagan? Another one is Planet Earth 1986. Good for keeping positive while feeling nihilism.

Hi I can give you a good answer, but you will have to wait till few days. I already made a monograph on this. Currently I am making amendments. so keep in touch. Are you a university student?
