I have spent about four year of my research (ph.d)working in the field of cosmolgy. I like it very much and I want to do something interesting.
My problem is that I do not have a good communication with my supervisor and some time we do not communicate for a long time at all. I am afraid of asking questions, I have the impression that if I ask something he will get angry. Most of the time I dot understand what he says. I have clear idea that what we are doing is not significant at all (actually we are not doing anything coherent, some time we pick a problem and then after some time we leave that then again we pick another problme and leave that.. so far we have published a paper but that is in arXiv only). Right now where I am working is a very good place here we have very godd infrastructure but there are almost no other people in astro and cosmology to whom I can talk. I am thinking of two options.
(1). I have to keep patience and study myself (because I am hardly been supervised so I have plenty of time) and go ahead.
(2) I have to try for some other place, this will essentially push me for GRE and I have to spend more number of years to get a phd. If I chose the first option then there is a chance that I will get a phd,but after that I will not have too many options due to my poor research.
If I chose the second option then there is chance that I can have a bright future but before that I have to spend a lot of time, money and efforts to get a place.
Plese suggest me what I should do
