In summary, Unit_Zer0 is a new member who is a high school dropout but has a passion for science. They are welcomed by Njorl who mentions that even Einstein was a dropout and encourages Unit_Zer0 to have the right mindset to achieve success. Unit_Zer0 mentions asking a question in the general physics section and Njorl reassures them that it's okay to ask questions, even if they may seem "stupid". Unit_Zer0 then asks about "atom" and Njorl welcomes them to the community and encourages them to continue exploring their love for science.

Great! It will be a pleasure to answer questions without the feeling that I'm doing some kid's homework for him!
