Hi,
I love physics and cosmology even though I have no formal qualifications in either. Nice to be here [emoji4] .

Hello.
I hope you will enjoy visiting here as I do.
Only advice I can offer is that the site is about understanding or furthering well known science.
Weird and wonderful alternatives tend to be sucked into a black hole.
 
Hiya,
Thanks for the advice. I already see from what I've read that this is a hard science place but I just enjoy reading about scientific stuff. I must admit I will be mainly reading posts rather than posting as methinks I am way out of my depth [emoji3].
 

Thread 'Neurosurgeon for understanding a bit'

Hi, I am a neurosurgeon from Turkey with an interest in physics. I don't have formal training in theoretical physics or advanced mathematics, but i enjoy trying to build intuition about spacetime. I joined Physics Forums to ask conceptual questions, learn where my intuitions break down, and get feedback from people who understand the formal theory much better than I do. Looking forward to learning from the discussions here.
