How Can a 73-Year-Old Physics Enthusiast Continue Learning?

[pistol357]

How did you find PF?

I was looking for info on the potential weaponization of zero point energy and somehow I got here and everything looks so interesting.

I am not sure what is meant by "detail and support material". I will offer this about myself. I am probably the most ill-equipped person from a classically trained/educated student of physics perspective to be of much help to anyone. I am 73 years old and the last physics course I took was in 1969. I think it was a" physics 101 "type course my freshman year in college. I had one course in High School and that's my limited foray of understanding. That being said I just love physics and have continued my self education from Barnes and Nobel book store. So I am about as lay as it gets in physics. I hope this helps.
Regards,

Welcome to the forum. Ask your question(s) in the proper subforum(s) since this is just for intro stuff. Good intro, by the way.

I am not sure what is meant by "proper subforms". I have a question on reverse engineering of non-terrestrial alien crafts. And thanks again for letting me become a member!

I am not sure where to go from here.

There is a SciFi area in the "Lounge" section of PF that may work for your question. Click on the PhysicsForums logo in the upper left to get to the top-level menu, and scroll down to the bottom where the Lounge forums are.
