I have to admit I occasionally have crackpot physics ideas floating around in my head and I actually have seen that Dr Hossenfelder has this service and thought of contacting her. But my tech job took too much time to even clarify my thoughts. (I had probably 5 undergrad physics/astronomy courses.) How many of us have these thoughts I wonder? It's a fun way to pass the time. Recently I thought that rather than thinking of these ideas as physics I should look at them as science fiction and write an amusing story.

Same here. The crackpot side of me is trying to create intelligent tools to augment my own intelligence, so that I can get smart/fast/wise enough to understand / predict / control enough biology so I don't die of something boring before having a good long time to figure out how to get to a Neutron star or something. Beginning to realize that biology is more complicated than physics (the models, not the scope).
