i derive equations for fun sometimes on planes when i don't have wifi. but to answer your question - i try to keep up with the big picture stuff and will read a paper every now and again but i am a shell of my former self

if you were to catch up on your physics understanding today in the shortest time possible, what would you do?

it entirely depends on how much math you know / want to know. you can only get so far without advanced math. so if you want to do it with math then you have to crunch through textbooks and online lectures etc if no math - there’s awesome layman level content on YT to have a general gist of things
