I'm the guy who installed this wiki, so the community could use it to collaborate. For the past couple decades I've made my living as a web developer, and I'm happy to help the community with anything web related. | I'm the guy who installed this wiki, so the community could use it to collaborate.

It looks like Eric is trying to answer the question, "If I want to understand how the universe works, where the hell do I even start?" Once you can understand the topics in the GWT, then you're well positioned to START digging into the larger questions. | It looks like Eric is trying to answer the question, "If I want to understand how the universe works, where the hell do I even start?"

Every single topic in the GWT is fascinating to me, so I'm using the wiki as a tool to unpack it all, publicly, in real time, with collaborators. For example, I wanted to understand the Graph, so I linked each topic in it to Wikipedia. https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Graph,_Wall,_Tome#The_Graph | Every single topic in the GWT is fascinating to me, so I'm using the wiki as a tool to unpack it all, publicly, in real time, with collaborators.

Then I realized that I'm not really even clear what a metric tensor is, so I followed the Wikipedia page, but it was a little overwhelming. So, I found a YouTube video. Then I figured, we could have a Metric Tensor page that becomes the on-ramp to understanding that concept. That page should answer the question, "As a layperson, how do I know what a Metric Tensor is?" Right now it's just a page that links to the YouTube video and Wikipedia, but eventually it will be more fleshed out and provide additional, clear resources for understanding the concept. https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Metric_tensor | Then I realized that I'm not really even clear what a metric tensor is, so I followed the Wikipedia page, but it was a little overwhelming.

Learn all the concepts in the [[Graph, Wall, Tome]]. Find a topic and as you're learning, use the wiki as your notepad. Make it easier for the next person to follow your path. I know way less than a lot of the experts in here, but I have to start from where I am. And I'm using my lack of knowledge as a positive thing. I can document my journey in the wiki and minimize the amount of work/friction the next person has to contend with to get up to speed. | Learn all the concepts in the [[Graph, Wall, Tome]].
