To be clear, Can I express my thoughts here or I just must repeat someone else's?

You cannot try to express your personal speculations or personal theories. The PF rules are very clear about that.

PF works best to answer your questions about mainstream science, which is quite complex. When you read something that you don't understand (in a reputable source, not a YouTube video or something), it's fine to post links to your reading and ask *specific* questions about that reading.

We do discuss new science here, as long as it has been published in an acceptable source (see the rules). For example, there has been a thread about the recently claimed discovery of a room-temperature superconductor. It was published in a peer-reviewed journal, so the discussion was allowed. It currently looks like the researchers made some mistakes, and efforts by other labs to reproduce the superconductivity have not worked. Interesting stuff...

Thread 'Hello world!'

Hello there, and nice to meet all of you! My name is Olga, I am from Russia. I have a PhD in laser physics, and I work at the local university. I study chalcogenide lasers. I am a pure experimentalist, and I love working with my hands, et cetera, and I do math only when I have to. Sometimes I work with biologists. I do nothing exciting in research, and after my defence, I hardly can call myself a scientist because we have a lack of financial support, and most of my time I spend on teaching...
