[QUOTE="freyar, post: 6674127, member: 40227"] It always seems like physics topics bring up a lot of questions and discussion, so I've thought for a while that it would be fun to set up a thread for questions about physics or related topics (what the process is like on the inside, what the career is like, etc). While I always have a pretty substantial workload, August looks like it will be somewhat less crazy than usual, so it seems as good a time as any to try one! Here's the plan. I am setting up a thread in the [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?530-Ask-Me-Anything]Ask Me Anything forum[/url] for your questions since the thread moderation powers there will be very helpful, and I'll do my level best to answer at least one a day. [B]If you have more to discuss about one of my answers than a quick follow-up question, I ask up-front that you please copy the relevant bits back to a new thread here in the Miscellaneous Geek Talk forum.[/B] But I'm also totally happy if any of the other physicists here care to answer any questions. My background, which you may know from other threads: I am a physicist who works in the broad subject of "high energy physics," which these days includes subatomic/particle physics (think Higgs boson/LHC experiment/dark matter), mathematical aspects of these types of theories, string theory, and other aspects of quantum gravity (stuff like Hawking radiation/black holes as well as non-stringy quantum gravity theories). My own work deals with particle physics models of dark matter and (separately) string theory, often with respect to extra dimensions. If I can give what I feel to be a reasonable answer, I'll tackle questions outside my own specialty, though. In any case, please go post some questions! The AMA thread is [URL="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?threads/466337/"]over here[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
