New site, what would you like to see?

Lately I have been working on expanding the hypography network with this addition: www.physicsguides.com

Its all going very well but I thought that it would be good to hear from you guys what you would like to see on the site. What parts of physics interest you, what do you find hard to understand. All comments are welcomed

Cheers, Jay

Single photon interference and quantum nonlocality/entanglement. There are others, like the physics inside a singularity or the beginning of the universe, but that's a start.


Good luck with the site bro.

Re: New site, what would you like to see?

Thanks InfyNow

I do want to include topics like that eventually, but as part of a personal theoretical section, unless we make some significant discoveries in the not to distant future.

Also if anyone would like to write for the site, just let me know via PM, thanks

Re: New site, what would you like to see?

I just read your basic electronics guide and have some questions.

Who is your audience? By this, I mean do you want to be able to reach those who have an interest but no education on this or someone young/old with a new interest to be able to understand enough from the guides to be able to read the next piece? Or are you talking to someone who already knew this stuff once and just needs a refresher?

I thought there was a rule against this sorta' spamming

So far so good Jay-q dude!
I'll wait and see until you get it more developed, then add my two cents in.. but I share some of Cedars sentiments.
I think this would be good for a physics-challenged person like myself.

Rock on.

Re: New site, what would you like to see?

I guess I havent really thought about my audience to much, I was just trying to compile what I had leart over the past 3 years, so I guess someone who has an interest and a basic high school education should be able to understand it. I will have to think about that a bit more.

Thanks for the input guys

Hey Jay.

From a design perspective I think you should change the link color - the blue links are hard, hard, hard to see.

Also, I find that the "water analogy" for electricity helps people to understand the difference between volts and amps. It might be helpful if you wanted to include it.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
