What does your work involve?  I am a theoretical physicist, and work at the extremes of that subject, particularly in foundational studies of quantum physics and the concepts of ‘space’ and ‘time’. General relativity is the currently favourable model of space and time – whereas quantum mechanics deals with the ‘stuff’, the matter, that appears in space and time.
