How did you find PF?
Google search
Came across this forum wanted to state first I have no background in physics but have been reading through a lot of these articles and would like to learn more. I just posted a thread on a question I had about materials that passthrough IR. Looking forward to seeing more posts with individuals much smarter than I am.

Welcome to PF. :smile:
Thank you! Hoping to learn a lot, I dropped out of college to run a business but now I have been diving back into science/physics for practical means and curiosity.
