Nice to meet you all

How did you find PF?

I found this forum by chance while I was looking up some articles on General Relativity. One of the discussion threads showed up in the Google results.

Hi all,

just wanted to introduce myself quickly. My name's Luis and I'm from Italy, more specifically from Naples. I'm not a physicist and I've never formally studied physics. I can't really do any complex math or calculations either, but that hasn't stopped me from being passionate about science.

I'm one of those people who follow science closely, even without a formal background. I watch a lot of science communication content, read articles, and get really into these topics, even if I don't always fully understand the math behind them. I know a fair bit, but I'm not an expert by any means.

I joined this forum because, even though I'm not professionally trained, I'd love to ask the community some questions every now and then. I know this place welcomes discussions about more speculative topics too, which isn't always the case in other forums online.

Looking forward to learning, reading, and maybe throwing in a few questions of my own from time to time.

This forum is for the discussion of mainstream science and personal speculation is not allowed. See the forum guidelines:

Thread 'Physics Forums Global Guidelines'

Sep 2, 2003

Welcome to Physics Forums!

In an effort to maintain the integrity of this site and to provide a comfortable environment for people to communicate, we ask that you please follow these Guidelines when posting on this site. These guidelines are global and apply to every area of this site. Mentors may choose to enact specific guidelines for individual forums, which are to be taken as an extension to the global guidelines when posting and visiting that specific forum.

Non-mainstream theories:
Generally, in the forums, we do not allow the following:

• Discussion of theories that appear only on personal websites, self-published books, etc.
• Challenges to mainstream theories (relativity, the Big Bang, etc.) that go beyond current professional discussion
• Attempts to promote or resuscitate theories that have been discredited or superseded (e.g. Lorentz ether theory); this does not exclude discussion of those theories in a purely historical context
• Personal theories or speculations that go beyond or counter to generally accepted science
• Mixing science and religion, e.g. using religious doctrines in support of scientific arguments or vice versa.
• Philosophical discussions are permitted only at the discretion of the mentors and may be deleted or closed without warning or appeal
