H0w d0 i learn?

[monster]

I have no knowledge what-so-ever of Science.

I have wasted my life dreaming.

 

I need to change this, but where do I begin?

 

I want to develop a good general grasp of Chemistry and Physics.

I'd like to reach a point where I can contribute intelligently to the discussions on this forum.

I am seeking to improve my own self, through knowledge.

 

I would very much enjoy if you could advise me on where to begin on this journey... (Namely which books I should read, which documentaries/videos/lectures I should download or watch).

 

Thank you

Go to a library and talk to a librarian about your ordeal.

That will be one of the fastest ways.

You can use the Search function in the upper right to find subjects here that interest you. A lot of people have asked questions you may want to ask and you can find out how they were answered.

Excelent initiative!

 

If you have previous knowledge on Sciences such as Physics, Chemistry, Math, Biology, etc. you can start reviewing books of your current level. I mean, really studying, getting to understand what's been said. And whenever a doubt comes up, you can post it here so we can help you.

 

After learning new topics, I usually write about what I learned and compare to what's in the books to check what I misunderstood or unfortunately forgot. Hope it serves as a good tip.

 

If you have NO previous knowledge, so you can start from secondary level books and keep improving it. It's always amazing to learn. Like climbing a mountain, appears to be impossible but when you reach the top you'll just laugh and find out you simply didn't reach the top yet.

 

Good luck in your journey!
