I have always been interested in physics. I find the vastness of the universe amazing but also the world on a subatomic level equally as intriguing, just more difficult to deal with as an amateur. I have a telescope for example but i don't have a particle accelerator. So i have joined this website to gain some knowledge. I have been interested in these subjects for years and now I've decided to take it up as my number one hobby.

I love quantum mechanics but all i can do with the subject is read and try and understand what i can. Astronomy is different in that aspect, with astronomy i can get more directly involved.

So that is me, a curious sceptic that is willing to accept any theories as long as they fit the observations and make accurate predictions. I am willing to keep an open mind "but not so open our brains fall out" and I am also a firm believer in Hitchens razor "whatever can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". I will say no more on that subject but i expect that the majority of subscribers to this site get the point.

So i welcome you help.

Thank you.
