Why Terra-Phy?
Why did I decide to add my voice to the trillions (OK, maybe it’s only tens of billions) of blogs that are already out there?
Mainly because I was already writing. I’m a math / physics guy (now retired) and I like to answer questions, these days mostly on the educational math and physics subreddits of Reddit. I often write answers that involve a fair amount of calculation, because as a math nerd that’s my idea of fun. Sometimes it’s a fairly technical topic, and sometimes it’s just wacky. [1][2]
