Hi everyone, I'm quickrp. I found this forum while doing searches on some basic physics questions.

I am retired. Prior to that, I owned a construction firm which built large data centers.

My interest in physics began while exploring the post-Newtonian history of the discipline and the development of nuclear energy and weapons. I have a decent grasp on the subject, but no formal education.

The forum topics look very interesting, and I will probably jump around quite a bit just gathering information and learning, and I look forward to getting acquainted to the group. Let's do it!

Thanks...
