I have been curious for as long as I can remember: at least 70 years now. My life has been an eclectic collection of adventures and studies, not all in an academic sense. I have a background in electronics, an AA in Physics (A simple comment marriage sidetracked my formal education), a US Army Veteran, and many hobbies and interests; I am a musician and a family man. Now, I am a caregiver for my wife with cognitive issues. The only free time I have, for the most part, is reading, so I am on a quest to discover what is happening within the realm of physics, especially how The James Web Space Telescope offers new ideas. So, I am reading all I can to get closer to current thinking, and I hope this forum source will be a significant path to achieving my aim. Thank You.
