Hi I am a want to be writer that has high hopes publishing before I am 70, maybe. lol
I have a short story idea that is slowly turning into a small novel and even if it never publishes I would like to keep junk science out of it. I am not sure where to post the thread for it or if this is the right forum but I would love some direction if you know the right place to discuss theoretical situations in space dealing with astrophysics.

After perusing some threads here I think I will stick around and soak up some knowledge even if there is a forum better suited to my needs elsewhere.

Thank you to anyone who puts the time into help me out here, have a happy Newtonmass!

Cheers
