Kermit Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 How funny. I just found these forums completely at random. And I mean random. Not by search engine or word of mouth or anything. Just random. I love it. Haha. But, um.. yeah. Oh, and I finally got a new computer, you guys will see me on more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Perfect Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I can't remember exactly when I found this site, because I found it both by search engine and link. But I don't know which comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Ahhhh, Willow. Willow posted on another forum, The Last Refuge of the Sane. (How we got that name is a long story. ) Basically complaining about how closed minded the people here were. As a true irreverent refugee I thought I should come and have a look. The truth was that I was most impressed with how even the worst of the creationists or pseudoscientists were treated well and politely regardless of how dumb their arguments were. Most forums that have an area for this type of topic are either for those who can can deduce the mathematics of the Precession of the Equinoxes from the radius of the curvature of a bit out of a Big Mac or they believe our current knowledge is the last word and dissent is akin to Blasphemy. I have an interest in these areas and was impressed by the "Okay that's your theory, show us your evidence" attitude here. Oh yes, and I thought some of the members here seemed moderately insane. That's very appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerFazer Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I was referred to this site by a friend. Turns to be one of the best, if not THE best referral I've ever followed up on. LazerFazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bascule Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Somehow I stumbled upon http://thefinaltheory.com. This was right as I was getting into quantum/relativity, and so I knew instantly the site was bullshit. It was funny bullshit though, because the guy's comprehension of things like relativity, permanent magnets/Curie point/spontaneously broken symmetries was clearly quite lacking, and he was among the horde of "Science has gotten too goddamn complicated; there should be a common sense explanation for everything that everyone can comprehend!" nutjobs. Anyway, I found the thread debunking him here, decided to participate, and well, there it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosine Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Haha, Ecoli showed me about the Four 4's challenge going on in the General Mathematics forum. After making a fool of myself in my first post, I stumbled around the rest of SFN, and now we're here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Haha, Ecoli showed me about the Four 4's challenge going on in the General Mathematics forum. After making a fool of myself in my first post, I stumbled around the rest of SFN, and now we're here! I thought using the Fibonacci sequence would have been ok. Sorry about that. Anyway, I don't regret showing you SFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Tycho?] Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was looking for a Science Fiction forum though, a place to discuss science fiction concepts (the science behind sci-fi sorta thing). I stumbled into here, and saw the physics section, and decided to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I faintly recall searching for information about the "Radioactive Boyscout" and stumbling upon some crazy radium-related thread of YT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was puzzled about one lecture of my University Professor about Inductive Effect. I used Google and typed "Science Forum" since I want to get the ideas of other people who can respond. I choose the first link which is a different site than this. I posted my ideas and questions but noone has answered it yet. So I went to another link and choose this one. By far, this is the best forum yet.
