Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around an 18-year-old's desire to publish personal theories related to quantum physics. The scope includes concerns about the safety of sharing ideas, the nature of theoretical contributions, and the challenges faced by individuals new to the field.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • An 18-year-old participant expresses a desire to publish their theories on quantum physics, acknowledging uncertainty about their validity.
  • Some participants suggest framing the discussion as a question about understanding quantum physics rather than presenting it as a new theory.
  • Concerns are raised about the safety of sharing ideas, with one participant expressing fear of having their thoughts stolen.
  • Another participant emphasizes that significant contributions in physics typically come from those well-versed in established ideas, suggesting that the original poster should focus on studying rather than publishing unrefined theories.
  • A physicist participant dismisses the notion of the original poster having developed theories, stating that such claims often reflect misconceptions rather than genuine theoretical advancements.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the validity and originality of the original poster's theories, with some advocating for caution and further study, while others question the merit of the ideas presented.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the original poster's understanding of quantum physics and the implications of sharing personal theories in a public forum.

Hello guys, don't frick out...
I am a 18 years old guy who is in love with Physics. I came out with some theories regarding quantum physics. I don't pretend to say they are right, and they are probably not. But i really want to publish them so even if they are not I will have some good reasons given by real physicists. I tried to publish them in this forum but one of the rules is that it is illegal to publish personal theories and I understand it.
If you can please help me to find a way to safely publish and take the merit of them, even if they sound all messed up to you.

Can anybody please help me? thank you.

One possibility is to make the title "What is wrong with my understanding of quantum physics?". Then, under this title, you can write how you understand it, with expressions such as "my new theory" replaced by "my naive picture", or something similar.

Is it safe? I don't want people to steal my stupid thinkings :frown::nb)

Without exceptions, all revolutions / innovations in any field have been brought by people who were extremely well-versed on the previously established ideas. Even if your ideas have some good intuitions, most of them will be naive and thus wrong: you're asking someone else to correct them, so they would automatically take a lot of credit anyway. Study physics on your own until you can correct them yourself if you're so sure about them: so even if you find out they were wrong, at least you will have gained a lot of knowledge anyway. Win-win.

No you did not.
If you have questions, feel free to ask them, but there is no point in opening the 2126th thread "I don't understand quantum mechanics but I think nature is like this". Seriously, no physicist is interested in reading the same misconceptions as "theory" over and over again. I am a physicist and I know how those threads look like.
I closed this thread.
