Hi! I just found out about this website. I haven't been to college for any type of physics or anything like that, though I'm extremely interested in Astrophysics and that entire field of study. I most likely won't be commenting on many things, though I'll definitely be looking through and learning! And don't worry, my name doesn't mean that I'm a "forum troll" or anything like that. It's just a nickname given to me by a few friends.

Nice to meet someone who is also extremely interested in Astrophysics!
 
Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
Hello! I am a recent graduate with a Bachelors of Science with a major in Mathematics and a minor in physics! I initially wanted to pursue advanced study in mathematics but taking some physics classes in my undergrad ignited an interest in physics for me! I am really interested in Particle and Nuclear Physics and hope to pursue a graduate study in said area some time in the future! Nice to meet everyone! I am happy to talk about physics with you all!
