## strategies

- Notes on studied topics

- Notes on ideas to write about

- Tackle mathematics as they appear

- Derive or take advantage of computational models

- Find a way to make exercises (look for them in the web and books)

- Look for the contribution of recent Nobel prizes

- Dig into recent article and software publications 

## questions

- how does the constant speed of light arise from Maxwell's equations?

- how to intuitively interpret the Lagrangian and Hamiltonians?

- to which extent the quantum theories acknowledge the collapse of a wave function to a particle?

- to which extent do nowadays physics acknowledge that there might be no time and space because for the light itself it takes no time to travel?
