Where are good places to discuss scientific theories?

Asked by Steve_A (5130points) March 14th, 2010

Are there any particular online websites that are devoted to certain theories/sciences or places that people go to in real life?

Academics are always debating stuff like this, so a place to go in real life for these conversations would be a university with a strong science department. Online, I’m not sure – my most recent work dealt with applying science. I debate theories with friends and colleagues.

I think some kind of academic place is the best place.

I have not found fluther useful as of the late. Which is why I am looking for places devoted to something more specific.

The key word here is “theory”.

So anywhere there is someone to give it.

I should add to my original response that there are a couple of fora I follow relating to engineering:

CR4

and

I agree with mattbrowne. Depending on the theory, you’ll find quite a few experts here.

I also agree and also I am not the one for science.
