  • Homework Help
    This is the forum where you can seek help for homework assignments, and the only forum in which such posts are appropriate. It is not the "Homework Answers" forum and we will not do your work for you. You are expected to show a reasonable attempt at addressing your question, and responses will be formulated to help you understand the issues and resolve them through thought and understanding on your part. Inappropriate responses that simply solve a problem will be deleted

  • New Hypotheses and Fringe Ideas
    Those ideas and hypotheses considered outside of today's mainstream science for various reasons. This might include insufficient technology or focus for proper study or merely being contrary to existing conclusions & accepted understandings. This forum distinguishes itself from Pseudoscience through the expectation that posters will provide requisite empirical evidence, supporting theory, and include mathematics and/or citations to legitimate literature to support their proposals.

Discussions can include how best to recognize, deal with, and combat these notions. Pseudoscientific ideas and notions started as threads in other sub-forums may end up here for further, rational discussion.
