What Is the Importance of Understanding Physics in Our World?

How did you find PF?

a google search, it was either this or stackexchange

Hi there

Thank you for letting me into your illustrious forum. I'm a simple engineer with experience in computer science and digital hardware, and I'm trying to learn more about physics as I grow older, it seems kind of important if you want to understand more of the world we live in. I'm concentrating on classical physics and slowly starting to explore more about quantum stuff.

So I'm just here to learn by reading your blogs and ask pertinent questions. In order to put everyone at ease, I voluntarily took the "crackpot test" http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html developed by John Baez, and I'm pleased to inform y'all that I scored a perfect -5 points (top score for normality).

Thank you for your kind attention.
Klaus Z.

Welcome to PF!Nice a crackpot test. Why ever would you take it?

Please take some time to read our rules as we are a highly moderated forum and there are some topics that we consider crackpottery and just don't discuss.

Welcome to PF!

Thank you very much, pleased to be here.

Nice a crackpot test. Why ever would you take it?

I noticed (right or wrong) during my research that non-physicists like me are usually met with suspicion by ordained physicists. So this is my way of saying "I come in peace" you know like Columbus when he first met the native americans.

Yes I did read that, I have no problems with that.
