Hi would it be possible to start one thread on this site for learning and teaching?

Hello I have been coming to this site for a short time now and I have noticed this site has plenty of smart people that are very well educated. There is so much in this world to learn and I feel as if I have only just started learning even after all the classes and work I have done. While I know that general homework threads exist I would like to see one for any subject that a larger group of people could partake in. It would be a great chance for learning and teaching I believe and possibly great fun.

I was wondering if someone could start a thread on this site for people who have math, science. philosophy or any other questions they are looking for answers to. So that everyone in the thread could work together as a group to help the asker to learn how to find the answer or give feedback about it. Kinda like a general homework help thread for any subject and also with discussions about it at the same time. This would be one thread with many subjects covered that someone could read and possibly discover something they did not know or a better way to solve the problem.

At any rate it is nice to know a place such as physics forums exists and I wish you all the best.

That doesn't really work. Imagine if, for some reason, that thread actually took off. You post a question. 7 people would reply to 7 other questions in no particular order. When the 8th person finally replies to your question, by which you've gotten frustrated due to lack of response and don't check the thread again.

It's better to have individual threads for individual questions. Not only does it keep things on topic, but it allows SMEs to find relevant questions to answer without having to dig through a morass of crap.
