For example, I really enjoy the Two Envelope Paradox. For amusement, I compose cartoons for the in-house magazine of my old-folks home, an example of my warped humour is attached.

Recently, my interest has revived and I have started to review what I knew before and learn new stuff. My interests are in Physics and Mathematical Physics. I hope I can find answers to some of my questions here and perhaps in the future, I can also answers some questions. How have I arrived here? During the past two months, I have been doing some online research to find the best...
