nor would I, but it's better than most sites; at least you get different views there. If you want reliability, then a hardware encyclodedia at your local library is as good as it gets, especially if they have Encyclopedia Brittannica. Wiki and similar are great as starting points, but there's little to prevent people with an agenda, from publishing what they like there.

Example: Look up Leo Kanner on line, and you'll find there stuff that bears little resemblance to what was there 20 years ago! The last time I tried to look at his papers on autism, all I got was hundreds of references to opinions by third parties (as if any same researcher would prefer that! It's the work of a robot set to click repeatedly on those other papers). I'd note that Kanner is sill dead; he hasn't changed anything...

I just clicked on brilliant org (thank you for that) but was once again stymied by the requirement to furnish an e-mail address.

As for Quora, I threw up a challenge to the supposed GRT experts there, who have ignored for months my several chanllenges to the validity of General Relativity Theory. I pointed out that ignoring inconvenient issues is not compatible with the notion of scientist being "seekers after truth". That was three days ago; nobody has responded!

Is this an autistic thing, not being able to understand how anyone can consider themselves experts, when they will not address inconvenient questions?

When one is familiar with the historical meaning of the word, it becomes clear from their biographies, that all those referred to as "natural philosophers" were significantly autistic, every one of them! Could it be they are no longer allowed careers in science?

If it is the case, that would be a great disservice to mankind, and explanation enough as to why, outsde computing, physics has been in the doldrums for decades...

I can only guess that perhaps answering your questions might be too time-consuming, requiring too much detail, for someone who is not being paid specifically to answer your questions.

There are (or at least used to be) some physicists who post here on WP. I would suggest that you start a new thread here about your specific issues with General Relativity. (Or bump an old thread on this topic, if you ever started one in the past.)
