Welcome to PF. That question is best posted in the open forums in the Textbooks sub-forum. That should get you some good replies. :smile:

Update: everything went very well! It was chaos but it was amazing, and not so chaotic that we had any problems. Some of the most fun I've ever had!!!

I was reading Anderle's TQB and they mentioned wives and their husbands' skid marks and I got distracted thinking about the probability of a grown man . . . Well, anyway I started thinking about the physics of skid marks — obviously I googled.
Hi! Looking forward to understanding the calculus of skid marks!

Some parts of your Profile post are problematic, but let me take it at face value. Please post your questions about friction and skid marks in the Classical Physics forum and post links to your reading that you've been doing about friction and tire skid marks. That will help us to try to help you understand what you are asking about.

Let's Talk Big Bang and the Start of Our Universe! (Help Needed: My English is Basic, So Let's Make This Fun!)"Hello everyone! 🌌 I'm from Mongolia and super excited to chat with anyone who loves learning about the Big Bang and how our universe began. But honestly, my English is not perfect – it's a little bit broken sometimes. 😅 So, please be patient if I make mistakes, and let's help each other out!

Welcome to PF. :smile:

Please read through our Insights articles about the Big Bang: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/?s=big+bang

and if you have questions about that reading, start a thread in the Cosmology forum. We do not generally discuss science questions in Direct Messages (DMs). Thanks.
