It certainly helped me. I'm new here, and mostly I just intend to read and make a few amusing comments since I've just recently changed my major to Physics and don't feel quite educated enough to offer significant comments to the science discussions.
So far, being here has been really enjoyable. I read some of the crazier theories, and I don't know how they're crazy, just that they are. Then, I read a little farther and find rational explanations that support my instincts.
I will be so glad when I've learned enough of this stuff to be able to explain, if only to me, why certain ideas have no scientific merit.
Anyway, reading the faq really set my mind at ease about this whole expanding space thing. Thanks.
