Hello all!

 

I've been perusing these forums for a couple of months. At some point whilst googling, I came across a link to the Quirky Science Facts forum. So that's where I started.

 

Now I'm no scientist, but I think a lot of the discussions on here are over my head. Of course that doesn't mean I can't enjoy them. After all, I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Elegant Universe (even though almost every word of that book left my little brain shortly after reading it).

 

I also love sci-fi!

 

Signing off.

Hello EatsPlanets,

 

Welcome to Hypography. I'm glad you've pushed through the curtain, out of the shadows, and decided to contribute to the community. Enjoy your stay. :bat:

 

 

Cheers. :hihi:

Welcome Emily! :hihi: I'm a sci-fi buff myself.

Greetings! You don't have to be a science-whiz to have fun here. But please don't eat our planet!

 

The Elegant Universe is only fairly accessible to non-scientists: he still sometimes forgets what most people have long forgotten or never knew about math...you might want to try "The Whole Shebang" by Tim Ferris: it doesn't have the string theory stuff in it, but it covers the first half of The Elegant Universe's content in a little bit clearer language.

 

Have fun!

 

High iron content,

Buffy

Well, hi there, you old planet eater, you!

 

If you're into moons as a snack, watch out for Io - sulphur makes you fart.
