How Can New Members Effectively Engage in Physics Forums?

[Supernova00]

Hi everybody.

I'm an aspiring aerospace engineer that enjoys physics. My education in physics only extends as far as the A level (UK system) physics syllabus. I set up this account as I have recently (10 minutes ago actually) observed a phenomenon which is really bugging me. I hope that somebody will be able to explain it.

Apparently you can't ask questions on your first post so I'll have to describe what I saw in my second post.

Welcome to PF. We are glad to have you.

Not quite true. Questions belong in a different forum, not "New Member Introductions".

If you would like some help getting started at PF, feel free to send me a message. Just click on my name and start a conversation. I'll be glad to help. I'm thinking of help finding your way around or advice on how to follow the rules when posting.

On PF, we discuss main stream science, math, and engineering.

Thank you for clearing that up. I'll certainly message you if I get stuck! Very kind of you.
