I'm a professor in the humanities (folklorist) who has a real interest in theoretical physics as it applies to astronomy. I was, at one time, pursuing a degree in physics, but got distracted and left the field. However, my love for science has never waned and I am looking for a place to discuss ideas/philosophies I have about the field of theoretical physics and to learn from people working in the discipline. Glad to have found a forum for such inquiries here.
