Hi everyone!
I am Bala and live in Detroit. I am a Science Fiction and Fantasy aficionado and wannabe writer. I have seen some amazing answers here to sciency questions and wanted to participate. I was one day wondering why we don't use gamma rays for cutting material if they are the most energetic particles. Of course, I found the answer here! Don't know how much physics knowledge I can contribute though, sorry :)

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
