retired Definition and 18 Threads

LSU Physics grad, 30+ years as a Health Physicist for the State of Louisiana, retired guardsman of the military intelligence branch. Interested in approaches to quantum gravity, e.g., Maldaxena, Swingle, Preskill, Van Raamsdonk et al. Convinced the cosmological constant problem is rich with...

Hello everyone, I am a retired, disabled veteran. I have worked in information technology for a long time and now am retired from that. I have never had a physics class, nor will I enroll in one. Just want to broaden my base of knowledge.

Hello: I lurked for a while and found the topics interesting. I'm a retired electronics technician and the content here is right up my alley. Looking forward to more. Randolph

My early working years were spent in fluid flow instrumentation, venturi tubes, measurement of flow through vortex shedding etc. Eventually ended up in computers and electronics but now retired, and partly in an effort to keep up with my sons who both did science at university I have a renewed...

I am a retired programmer 1980 to 2012, renovating old houses in Goderich Ontario Canada, which is 40 kilometers south of the Bruce Nuclear Facility, 6,600 megawatts on Lake Huron, also in the midst of hundreds if not thousands of wind turbines. I am a climate change believer and wish to...

retired physicist.

I am a retired Tech who needs find better solutions for my everyday projects (my oldest book = CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 52nd edition) . Presently - understanding heat transfer , water vapour mobility , air movement due to Temp and relative humidity. Too many variables , need help.

I'm an old (74) yr old retired ASCP lab tech and Stockbroker/CFP. Now functioning as a local township trustee. I won't be that common of a visitor, just when something is different.

I got to this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/complete-set-of-answers-to-schaums-tensor-calculus.346972/ but it is locked, otherwise I would have added to it. I'm now retired, was a software engineer but I studied maths and physics at University. I'd like to get what might be...

Greetings, I am almost 70 years old now, and have retired from formal employment. This was no my decision, but Company policy. I've been making stuff since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Not everything worked out first time... I love hydraulics, and structures with triangulation. I have built...

In at the deep end. Retired, mostly from IT. Eventual Physics graduate (it's a journey). Not on good terms with mathematics.

I am a retired Electronics Engineer. BSEE from Iowa State Univ and MSEE from California State Univ-Northridge. Still interested in the physical sciences.

hello, I'm a retired mechanical engineer always puttering on something looking to expand my knowledge on electrical power and primarily home power generation in grid tied systems

Hello, I'm a retired professional, electrical engineer now writing and publishing science fiction novels, both with good---seems to me---Kirkus Reviews. My stories are based upon my own speculative (fantasy?) physics, and otherwise hope to be realistic. I need help with details from physics...

I was born in 1954. I live in the Philippines. I'm retired. I have been an avid aerospace/aviation fan since 12. I bought my first telescope at 13. It was a 4.5 inch Newtonian reflector. I saw the Orion Nebulae, the Andromeda galaxy, Jupiter and Saturn pass behind the moon.

I'm a retired technical writer with ME degree and submarine service and glider pilot background. Currently teaching General Physics at a community college in the Western USA.

Once upon a time long, long ago, I was a physicist. More precisely, I received my PhD from the University of North Carolina for my work in Feynman Path Integrals, circa 1970. Subsequently, I became HoD at a South African university in computer science. I have been retired for some 20 years. I...

I am a retired associate professor from an engineering college. I am a fan of physics. I have published many papers in scientific journals and mathematical journals. I am very happy to join this forum.
