Getting Your Theory Reviewed: Tips and Resources for Young Scientists

[PeterDonis]

if I could take a real class I would love to do it. Unfortunately, that is not an option for me.

To a large extent it is. College-level course materials are available online, for example MIT's Open Courseware. They include problem sets with solutions provided separately, so you can work them out on your own and then check your work.

What you will miss with that approach is personal feedback from knowledgeable people. One way to get that is to talk to your teachers. Another way is to post specific problems that you are having trouble with in the Homework forums here (be sure to fill out the complete homework template when you do). Either way it will take time and patience, but that's true for anything worthwhile. None of us here learned this stuff in a flash; we've all been through what you're going through now, and there's no shortcut.

I just came across this idea in my studies, and all i want is it to be checked out so I don't have to wonder about it anymore.

Unfortunately, there's no quick way to do that. What's more, I don't see why there should be. Whatever your idea is, it's not going anywhere; there's no reason why it has to be resolved right now.

Ok, thanks.

Ok, I will try to talk with my teacher.

That is a good idea. Please remember that PF is not the place to post personal theories. You may just be 13, but the forum rules still apply.

@rootone please do not pressure people into breaking the forum rules.

Although that was not my intention I apologise if it seemed that way.
I just wanted to ascertain what the OP is actually talking about since it's quite likely it could be an idea which already has been considered and proven false, (or 'not even wrong').

You are probably right. It is just that I don't want to have to issue an infraction.

@Isaac0427 I think that your question has been answered. Wait, learn more, and speak directly with your teacher.

For now let's close this thread.
