- How did you find PF?
- Suggested by xAI's Grok as a place to both find information relevant to my interests as well as a place to post my speculative philosophy on Physics with a crowd that will engage and not just judge me.
Greetings and salutations from the Swamp, aka Florida.
For most of my life, I've been incredibly fascinated with the fields of Physics and Astrophysics. I've, also, been pretty lazy in regards to formal education. And that's a point of fact, not relative to an observer (lol). Lately, as I age, that fascination has grown stronger and, of course, I feel I'm past the point of formalizing my interests by going back to school. Now, I just try to engage with the fields to the best of my abilities. In doing so, I found that a lot of the mechanics and communications in Physics is fairly unintuitive. So here I am. Directed by an LLM (Grok) to a place where I can, not only, look into the world of Physics from the points of view of others, potentially finding new ways to look at the fields, but share my own as well.
I'm always open to discussion and always open to constructive critiquing. Hope to learn a few new things while I'm here and, hopefully, share some interesting points of view from the perspective of, for lack of a better word, a layperson. To start things off, I'm attaching a relatively formalized "essay" of sorts on the ontology of fields in Physics and was wondering what others, with more education than I, think of the analogy. The essay is fairly short and purely speculative in nature, drawing on the philosophy of science more than the actual mechanics, which the essay itself clarifies. If you read it, please feel free to share your thoughts. If not, hey, there's surely conversation to be had elsewhere. Thanks in advance and Hello, again!
(For the record, I haven't seen any guidelines in regards to formatting for posting material so if this is in violation of forum rules in some way, please let me know)
