That depends on the subject. Since I am just starting, I would just like to join the conversations. I do have a fairly basic question regarding one of your earlier threads on burning a piece of paper with a magnifying glass and sunlight.

Welcome to PF!

Members here shall surely help you out. Just post your question in the proper section, giving a link to the previous thread.

Also, prefer not to reply to your own thread before someone else does. Although it doesn't matter in the New Member Introduction forum, in other forums, if your thread is unanswered, it is likely that more number of people will have a look at your thread. If you have to add something, edit it in the first post, or call a mentor for help.

Explore the site, an you'll surely find many interesting things here.

With regards,
Wrichik.
