This guy have secured himself so much good karma. Wow. Thank you, from all us autodidacts.
(I am trying to learn some astrophysics as a hobby. Amateur science is currently mostly frowned upon).
- whorleater 10y agoI wouldn't say amateur science is frowned upon, more than a lack of proper foundation can lead you astray pretty quickly, which is why most "amateurs" manage to convince themselves of some big metaphysical truth. The learning of science is heavily encouraged, but it should definitely be done through proper means.

- brohee 10y agoAstronomy is actually the field where amateurs make the most useful contributions, and amateurs/pro collaborations are actually a thing. Close enough to astrophysics?
