Hello all!
My name is Jeff, and let me start by saying I am NOT a physicist, and not that great of a mathematician either. I've been curious about the universe since I was a kid.

I don't have a degree, and I had some ideas about physics but I don't know if they are really things that work out the way they would in my head. Found this forum and thought I would do a little reading and see what comes out. I would probably need help from time to time understanding the 'physics' world because there are so many terms that are foreign to me.

I also have some spinal cord damage that causes my left and right hands to operate at different speeds, so bear with me if you see letters transposed in words. :)

Glad to meet you all and hope to learn some interesting things!

Welcome to PF; it's good to have you here.

We don't allow the discussion of personal theories, but we do allow and encourage discussion of mainstream science. Enjoy PF! :smile:

Yea I kinda picked up on that :). Since I cant link/discuss my publishing's, I'm not sure I'll make much headway. I thought i had solved some pretty serious issues but I have no independent ways to verify.

You're published? Like in a peer-reviewed paper?

I have some preprint publishing's on zenodo, but I am hitting brick walls trying to get through research gate, arXiv, or any of the 'serious' places. I don't have a degree and I dont work at any college so theres no way to get into some of those sites to use them without a referral, which again I cant get.

As I said I am not a physicist, just a guy that likes solving things. I am a prolific software engineer and even though I might not understand everything in the calculs terms I know what my software does do, so I rely on others to help get the equations for a paper to be 'proper'. I've learned more new words in the last week than I cared too. :). A lot of the terminology and 'proper' things are foreign to me.

I have what you might say is a plain language understanding of the universe, and I can write software to perform the calculations. However I only understand the full equation if its written in C.

I guess bottom line I would like to figure out how to get someone to review the work and review the theory. I'm pretty sure I have good solution for several anomalies, but I know science and it requires a lot of vetting, proofing, and predicting before it becomes an acceptable alternative.
