My name is Jeff. My interest is in the Cosmos. I received an AA in Physics (with Transfer) and then moved on to computer science. I spent 35 years in the computer science field. I've always been intrigued by the planets and the solar system. My interest was rekindled with the Carl Sagan's series, Cosmos, and again with the Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time. Since then, I've picked up this book and that on the subject. I'm retired now and I am, once again, rekindling my interest. Every once in a while, I get a question in my head and just found this site where I make get some answers.

I don't know how much help I can be for people on this forum, I just don't have the credentials to provide any authoritative answers.

Welcome to the forum. Plenty of us are here for the same reasons as you, and we don't have credentials either. Hell, I just make stuff up :smile:

Both have warm places in my heart. Welcome to PF. :smile:
 
Hello there, and nice to meet all of you! My name is Olga, I am from Russia. I have a PhD in laser physics, and I work at the local university. I study chalcogenide lasers. I am a pure experimentalist, and I love working with my hands, et cetera, and I do math only when I have to. Sometimes I work with biologists. I do nothing exciting in research, and after my defence, I hardly can call myself a scientist because we have a lack of financial support, and most of my time I spend on teaching...
