I work in tech but I at some point I almost took a career path into theoretical physics. I changed my studies very late to data science and machine learning (my last masters year) and before that I was in physics and solid state physics.
I am looking for research papers that could be interesting to read for a non-expert like me. I am used to read physics research papers (mainly solid state physics and spintronics). I am looking for papers that do not have super heavy mathematical development.
An example would be the famous "More is different" from Anderson. It describes very well what I'm looking for although I'd prefer some mathematical perspective if applicable (but again not too much of it).
The idea is to read about topics like General relativity not from Wikipedia but from research papers that are either foundational or educative/pedagogic.
No books however I don't have time for them, I am not looking to study these subjects but rather acquire some insight and basic knowledge.
Typical subjects will includeI am looking for now in papers in : general relativity, quantum field theory, string theory, quantum electrodynamics, quantum gravity
