The Mysteries: The Importance of Asking Questions in Science

not sure what to do here, the intro email said introduce yourself but don't ask questions
I've always been fascinated with how things work, but i often butt heads with those that could provide answers because i ask questions that apparently aren't supposed to be asked.

it's funny how you can have a 6 hour conversation about the death star's staffing strategies but the second you ask someone to analyze an atom as if it has physical particles not waves you begin a 3 hour grudge match, and don't get close to even asking the question

or you go to ask your friend what they think about antimatter rocket channeling, and you spend an hour catching them up, but you don't even get to magnetic confinement before they get bored

so in summation I'm on a quest to find people willing to talk and imagine, and competency is a nice bonus

Welcome to PF.

When asking questions in the PF technical forums, it's best to post links to the mainstream scientific papers and sources that you have been reading about your question. That helps us to see what level you are currently at in understanding the area of your question.

Also, the PF Search feature (see the upper right corner of the page) is pretty good, and may be able to help you figure out the answer to your question. At the very least you can link to the previous threads that you find that come close, and say which parts you are still wanting to discuss.

Enjoy PF!
