    Importance of Science History for my Understanding of Science

    There are so many concepts in science, especially Physics, that make absolutely no sense to me unless I begin to study the underlying history of the concepts. So please correct me when I'm wrong because I'm sure I am sometimes. The first concept I think about is Voltage. I was extremely familiar...

    Physics has taken the wrong turn

    This is an extract from my letter of resignation from the forum: My belief is that physics has taken a wrong turn, and what passes as science is nothing more than speculation without hard evidence. As a challenger to the accepted paradigms, I can understand how I have ruffled a few feathers...

    What sci-fi movie and book technologies will never be a reality?

    It so hard to predict the future but are there any technologies from sci-fi movies or books that can’t happen in real life because it’s just completely impossible to create them? For now and even when we have more advanced science knowledge?

    Studying Understanding Physics -- in which way?

    I’ve heard at least a million times that you need to understand physics, but never actually understood in which way? When I study, I understand what the textbook says and how to apply it.

    Interested, curious, and somewhat intelligent

    I am interested in many subjects; history, physics, biology, art... well, just about everything. Why? Because the only truly useless knowledge is the knowledge you don't have. My interest in the sciences mainly derives from three sources: 1) my Dad's ongoing interest, as a layman, in sub-atomic...
