Forum Rules - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

[Doc Al]

Before posting anything, please review the https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=414380".

If you are seeking help with a homework/coursework/textbook-related issue please post your problem in the appropriate forum in our https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=152" area.

All threads in this forum are intended to discuss the scientific content of well-researched models of physics beyond the Standard Models of elementary particle physics and cosmology that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Due to the speculative nature of the subject, not-yet-published papers uploaded to databases like ArXiv or presented at reputable conferences are also acceptable for discussion. (Note that references to such unreviewed sources remain unacceptable in the other subforums dedicated to more established areas of physics.)

This forum deals with theories beyond the Standard Models of elementary particle physics and cosmology. This includes topics such as String, Superstring, Supersymmetry, Quantum Gravity, MOND, etc. Topics dealing with complexities in quantum field theory, relativity, etc., should be posted in those specific forums, not here.

This forum may not be used to propose new ideas or personal theories. Mentors will remove such threads.

Threads that discuss anything other than the mathematics or physics of such models may be locked or moved to a more appropriate forum, at the discretion of the Mentors. Specifically, threads on sociological aspects of research, such as funding priorities or issues of bias and nepotism within academia must be started in the Social Sciences forum; threads on book sales or citation statistics belong either in Social Sciences or General Discussion, depending on the thrust of the OP; threads on prospects for research funding in different specializations should go to Academic & Career Guidance.

Threads on the Philosophy of Science, i.e. the question of what distinguishes science from non-science, belong in the Philosophy forum.
Thank you for your interest in discussing theories beyond the Standard Models of elementary particle physics and cosmology. This forum is dedicated to the scientific content of well-researched models that have been published in peer-reviewed journals or presented at reputable conferences.

Before posting, we ask that you review our forum rules and guidelines, which can be found here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=414380. In particular, please note that this forum is not for discussing personal theories or proposing new ideas.

If you are seeking help with a homework, coursework, or textbook-related issue, please post in the appropriate forum in our https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=152" area.

Please also note that this forum is for discussing the mathematics and physics of such models, and not for discussing sociological aspects of research or the philosophy of science. Threads that do not adhere to these guidelines may be locked or moved to a more appropriate forum.

We look forward to your contributions and discussions on this exciting and speculative subject. Thank you for your cooperation., Scientist at Physics Forums

Threads on the philosophy of science or on the scientific method are welcome in the Philosophy forum.
I fully support these forum rules as they promote a respectful and productive environment for discussing scientific topics. It is important for members to understand the purpose of this forum and to follow the guidelines set forth in order to maintain the integrity of the discussions. By focusing on well-researched models and published works, we can ensure that the discussions are based on sound scientific principles and contribute to the advancement of our understanding of physics beyond the Standard Models. I also appreciate the reminder to post in the appropriate forum for different topics, as it helps to keep the discussions organized and relevant. Thank you for taking the time to review these rules before posting.
