How did you find PF?
Via Google Link
I was searching about Brian Cox and the news about the latest discovery of the extra terrestial missile type about 12miles in length and is aimed towards earth. I got deeply interested and went into a rabbit hole of consuming information from various sources, and eventually stumbled upon this forum where a healthy discussion was taking place.

extra terrestial missile
??? Huh ? Sounds like Brian is making stuff up again.

EDIT: Oh, I see. He did NOT endorse any such thing, but was specific in saying he didn't. I wonder if he also doesn't endorse pink unicorns.

I like his response:
There are many things this ‘could’ be, one of which is a giant space turd shat, intentionally or otherwise, towards the solar system from what passes for the arse of a sentient molecular cloud. My money, however, is on a lump of ice and rock.

...about 12miles in length...
Shrinking as we speak.
Latest measurements have pared it down to somewhere between 3.5 miles and 1000 feet.

:welcome:!!!
 
I am retired with a scientific background in Mathematics and Physics though I quit Academia after graduation. Recently, my interest has revived and I have started to review what I knew before and learn new stuff. My interests are in Physics and Mathematical Physics. I hope I can find answers to some of my questions here and perhaps in the future, I can also answers some questions. How have I arrived here? During the past two months, I have been doing some online research to find the best...
I began teaching high school math and physics after graduating LSU in 1975. I taught in public, Catholic, and prep schools for about 30 years. During my career, computers entered the schools for the first time and I became deeply involved. For a while I wrote educational software through my own company. After I retired from teaching I continued online tutoring for a few years. I am now using my last few years creating the Physics Teacher's Tool Box, a resource culled from my long career.
Hi everyone, I'm just a physics enthusiast. I took some first-year courses a long time ago, but I wasn't able to continue, so I don't have a degree. Still, I'm really passionate about the subject and try to keep up with it as much as I can. I mostly study in my (limited) free time, going through books I didn’t get the chance to read when I was younger. Thanks for your attention!
