If I remember correctly, in her video HOW WE KNOW THAT EINSTEIN'S
GENERAL RELATIVITY CAN'T BE QUITE RIGHT [1], Sabine Hossenfelder
more-or-less says Einstein's Field Equations are relatively easy for
DIYers (eg me), to master. It encouraged me to use a JPL tutorial [2]
to teach it to myself. Subsequently, the topic of cosmology was
mentally parked on my brain's back burner for the time being.

Schockly puts Schroedinger's Equation to good use in ELECTRONS AND
HOLES In SEMICONDUCTORS. In regards to Schroedinger's Equation, Bohmeian
Mechanics [3] currently piques my interest. THE METAPHYSICS OF BOHMIAN
MECHANICS by De Guyter gave me a peek inside the rabbit hole.

She set out one day In a relative way And returned on the previous night.
