Hi there,

I am Stefan, I am just starting my third semester of physics at Technische Universität Berlin Germany.

If started my studies after working nearly 20 years in information technology.

My main interest is the Special Theory of Relativity. Especially, the geometric meaning of the four-vector.

I am looking forward to finding some like minded people here.

Greetings
Stefan
