I'm so glad this forum exists! I'm a 36 year old in college doing an online degree. High school was a LONG time ago so I I find myself needing a lot more help than my classmates. It's been tough especially with physics and calculus so I'm here hoping to find answers and maybe even some help. Wish me luck!

A warm welcome to PF!

In order to help you start out here, the following are the three main sections in PF. You should explore them well:

1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). In short, they have been described as a "wonder of the web". It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The Videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.

Just post your question in the proper forum, and you'll surely get help. For homework questions, be sure to fill out the template.

Best of luck, not only for your examinations, but for your life ahead in acquiring knowledge!

With regards,
Wrichik.

My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
