Trying to solve the problems of the universe

How did you find PF?

Hello all...
I have taught physics at the high school (AP) and college level. However, my masters is in nuclear engineering (MIT) and I am now looking toward a Ph.D. in physics. My interests are the hard philosophical questions physics... do we have free will?... what does quantum mechanics tell us about the nature of reality?... etc. [moderator: removed link to personal blog]
Looking forward to contributing on this forum.
Andrew

Welcome to PF. We're glad to have you. I'll expect you will find your time here worth while.

It would be useful to look at our guidelines.

We like mainstream science such as in textbooks and journal papers. That does not include philosophy. Still, there is lots of room for questions, just downplay the philosophy part.

We also frown on people advertising personal blogs in their intro posts. It smacks of solicitation. I edited that part out.

It was interesting though! Not at all philosophical.

I agree. We get lots of intro posts whose purpose is to solicit clicks. Sometimes they conceal it with some intro verbiage. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it would be a bad precedent if we allow it.

I understand. I don't care about "clicks" and just figured that my blog was part of who I am, my intro, etc.

I posted a long post about trying to understand double-slit interference, but it has not posted yet. Did I choose the wrong forum? I chose the "Quantum Interpretations and Foundations," but should it have gone under "Quantum Mechanics" instead?

 

[PeroK]

I can't see it in any case. I would have said it's QM. The other forum is very recent, so I'm not sure what really should go there.

 

[Aknight]

OK I'll try the other one. Thank you.

Please withdraw my post.

I am not trying to get traffic on my blog... I am trying to figure out the answer to an important physics question. Apparently physicsforums.com is not the right place.
