Although I am 13, I am very much interested in physics. I study in 9th grade and live in a poor country like India. I am reading about relativity and quantum mechanics from past one year and I want to say that I completely understand SR but I have some confusion about GR and QM. The reason I have studied so far in physics is that I was very much excited about how this universe works, who made this universe, what am I, what is thought etc. from my childhood. I want to make TOE when I grow up. The problem is my country. There is no development in advanced physics in this country. So, study material is much much less. Another thing is that the opportunities to rise in this field are very less in this country. So, I want to take my graduation in UK or USA.
So, graybeard don't post me websites which are in layman's language. You can fully discus about the main topic - The Quantum Gap.

Even though I do not completely understand Science beyond the realms of Classical mechanics, I can safely say this:
India is not a poor country where there is nothing to study and or oppurtunities to work in this field is very less. We have the world's best institutions in technology and Science. eg : IIT (ranked 3rd worldwide) and research institutions too...
Its a different thing that most people who graduate from these migrate to foreign lands to add to their knowledge...you can check with any US university..most of the faculty there consist of Indians.. And even if you think that the study material isnt good here you can always import books ( Indian editions of foreign authors are available)
Its a different thing if you are talking about something like a Business Management programme in which US universities are definitely better than Indian ones.. But If you say that the science and technology sector is not upto the mark here., then I request you to give a second glance around.
Besides I also think that living in a developing country has to imply that every single guy is poor (India has the highest no. of billionares in Asia, [34] , remember Lakshya? Instead of thinking about how we can run away from here, you should concentrate on how we can use our knowledge for the progress of our Nation.
