Hello all, I'm currently researching the history of physics; how the field has evolved and grown; and curiously, how some concepts abandoned seem to regain favor in later years. I have basic undergrad knowledge with a bit of graduate work. Often just enough knowledge for me to realize there are questions I need to ask, but not enough experience to know what those questions are.
