hi all, where can you post physics theories and read others online.

FYI, vixra is not acceptable on this site, it's a crackpot repository.0xDEADBEEF said:Read about it: arxiv.org Write about it without credentials: vixra.org I think.

Obviously modern physics is just a sliver of what the future holds, a history major could tell us that, so why is there not a free website, similar to this one, where people can exchange new ideas? Whenever I visit physics forums websites, they never want to talk about ideas that are not already canon, but I think an outlet for research physics could be beneficial to physics progress. I'm not talking about a preprint, I'm talking about a forums website. Like arxiv, but with threads. Is there really no such website yet?

And we tried it too (twice!). It was a disaster.micromass said:There ARE such forums! I don't think you've searched long enough.

It beats me. As commented in other posts there are ways like journals and the arxiv that require endorsers which means that at least you have made the effort to moreless coherently explain your theory to someone professionaly related to science who agreed it deserved a preprint.
A different thing is exploring and learning about what is already known, that can be done in many sites(such as this one) with different levels of nonsense allowed.
Unfortunately, on the internet, it doesn't work that way. You can't have a forum focused on known, mainstream science AND allow crackpots. It's one or the other. We choose no crackpots. There are many forums out there that allow crackpots, many don't even have the expertise to know that they're hosting crackpots.jfy4 said:I just want complete transparency. People are allowed to make horrible products, people just don't buy them, but they are available, especially on the internet. I think this day and age we can have a collection of all physics theories on the internet open to everyone. If they are bad theories, no one will buy them (both with money and with belief).

Excellent suggestion.phinds said:Evo, the OP has been banned and this thread is going nowhere. Time to shut it down ?
There are several online platforms where you can post your physics theories, such as researchgate.net, academia.edu, and arXiv.org. These websites allow scientists and researchers to share their work and get feedback from their peers.
Posting your theories online can be beneficial as it allows for collaboration and feedback from other scientists. It also helps to increase the visibility and impact of your work.
While social media can be a useful tool for sharing information, it is not typically the best platform for posting scientific theories. Websites specifically designed for scientific research, as mentioned earlier, are better suited for this purpose.
Each platform may have its own guidelines for posting content, so it is important to familiarize yourself with those before sharing your work. In general, it is important to ensure that your theories are well-supported by evidence and clearly presented.
You can certainly post your theories on your personal website, but it may not reach as wide of an audience as posting on a dedicated platform. Additionally, you may want to consider copyright and ownership issues before posting your work on your personal site.
