Hello! I am not a physicist, I am a writer. Comedy to be specific. I joined up here to see if there's a possibility of getting a few educated answers about something I am writing. I want the technology to be real. After roaming around for a while, I haven't been able to find a forum/thread that would allow me to ask these questions.

Does one exist on this site? If not, can someone point me to a message board where I can ask some questions about space travel, FTL, and room temp superconductors to some people that know more about them than I do?

Thanks very much,

Claude

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
