Summary

The theory of relativity (special and general) has its own newsgroup. This newsgroup can be searched for in your newsreader under sci.physics.relativity and basics about the group and the theory can be found at http://crib.corepower.com:8080/~relfaq/relativity.html. Flamebait in this popular physics newsgroup goes something like, "SR theory is simplistic" and "A lesson on wave mechanics for SRians". Fans of relativity create threads about the observable universe, gravitational collapse, black holes, Newton and Einstein, massive particles, fixed stars, geometry, event horizons, quantum gravity, the philosophy and history of relativity physics, the twin paradox, the speed of light, cosmology, the curvature of space, god and physics, space-time intervals, Snell's law, time travel, etc. Posts to the newsgroup are often long and academic in nature, garnering much commentary, criticism, and rebuttal from the lively and dedicated sci.physics.relativity community. Thus, you can be sure of getting answers to your sincere and relevant questions when you chose to post them, and can often find debate that will encourage you to hop in.
