[Ask Brilliant] Why aren't there more posts about physics in Discussions?

why aren't there any posts regarding high school physics

#Physics #Brilliant

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Comments

Agreed, the idea of the posts are that they are started by students, as a reflection of topics that interest them. Post your thoughts here, and see how other students respond. For example, you might be working out in the gym, and then wonder why does a wide overhand grip make a pull-up harder to do compared to a narrow underhand grip. Or running on a treadmill and wondering if you'd burn more calories going 8 miles / hour for 60 minutes, or 6 miles / hour for 80 minutes (Yes, I just came back from the gym.)

The Challenge Masters will be moderating the posts, to ensure that the responses you are getting from other students are accurate. We will likely not post in direct response, but would help clarify on murky areas.

If you would like to discuss topics in high school physics, feel free to open up a thread. I am sure others would like to talk about physics as well.

Looks like there is one now!

Indeed, there is one now. Thanks Grace. All others should feel free to post discussions on whatever topics interest them. The ground rules of this forum were meant to not be restrictive of topics, and you should all feel free to discuss anything that interests you.
