| <blockquote>It's also crucial to ask people questions and explain things to people — both of these are great ways to learn stuff. Nothing beats sitting in a cafe with a friend, notebooks open, and working together on a regular basis. Two minds are more than twice as good as one! But if you can't find a friend in your town, there are different ways to talk to people online. In all cases, it's good to spend some time quietly getting to know the local customs before plunging in and talking. For example, trying to start a rambling discussion on a question-and-answer website is no good. Here are some options: Question-and-Answer Websites — If you've got physics questions, try Physics Stack Exchange. For research-level questions, try Physics Overflow. For questions about math, try Math Stack Exchange, or for research-level questions, Math Overflow. Discussion Forums — To get into discussions of physics, try sci.physics.research. For math, try sci.math or, for research-level questions, sci.math.research. I also recommend Physics Forums for both math and physics discussions. At least some of the question-and-answer websites listed above also have community forums where you can discuss things. <cite>[[http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/books.html#quantum_field_theory|John Baez]]</cite></blockquote> | <blockquote>It's also crucial to ask people questions and explain things to people — both of these are great ways to learn stuff.
