This is a great site but my questions might violate the policy of "new questions are not allowed". Is there another site that is a bit more open? Thanks ahead of time.
Respectfully,

I've been here for years and haven't seen that one.

Appreciate your speedy reply. My problem is I am not adept at Google searches and none of my friends are adept at astronomy.

I guess my questions about the Einstein-Rosen Bridge and The Stefan-Boltzmann Law will remain unanswered for now.
 
I apologize if that reply was not on the proper thread line.
 
What I mean is that I haven't seen issues with people asking questions in order to learn from the many experts that we have here. The only time that I see people run into trouble with that is when they ask questions with the intention of pushing some made-up or discredited theory, delving into philisophical musings or other types of discussions that are restricted by the Terms and Rules in the INFO tab above. If there's something you want to know about, I would start a new thread and ask away.

Thanks for clarifying. That helps a lot!
