In summary, the concept of teaching an old dog new tricks in the field of physics is a debated topic. Some argue that it is possible to teach an older individual new concepts and ideas in physics, while others believe that it is more difficult for an older brain to adapt and learn new information. However, recent studies have shown that with the right methods and teaching techniques, it is possible for older individuals to learn and understand complex physics concepts. This challenges the notion that age is a barrier to learning and highlights the importance of effective teaching methods for all age groups.

Hi all physics enthusiasts!
I've always had an interest in physics (mechanical, electromagnetism and a bit of quantum at a high level), very inspired by the videos of Leonard Susskind in great part.
I've devoted my life to a completely different field but I've still got the itch to learn more about physics, so here I am!
