I'd be interested in joining a community like this, but one where people explain things themselves, maybe even with experiments they did; or where people comment and compare different explanations found online – also to check their correctness. At the moment I only see links to (mostly) youtube videos. But then I can simply do a search on youtube myself. I wonder if this community would like to do something more.

This is just my opinion and a question, I completely understand if people prefer to do differently!

Moderators: please feel free to delete this comment if unimportant. Sorry for the outlier.

The CGI and SFX are a bit out of date but the explanation is sufficient
