Can an older person learn new mechanical principles?

In summary, older individuals can indeed learn new mechanical principles, although it may take them longer and require more effort compared to younger individuals. It is important for older learners to approach the material with a positive attitude and seek out resources and support systems to aid in the learning process. With determination and persistence, anyone can expand their knowledge and skills in the field of mechanics, regardless of age.

How did you find PF?

I'm just trying to better myself and looking for help with a couple of questions on mechanical principles. I need any answers in laymans terms please as I'm not exactly a spring chicken and have not studied anything like this in several decades:smile:
I'm hoping some of you young guns (and old wise persons) can help me out.
Cheers,
Gixer1127
