I personally would be interested to read the answer to an individual question which I don't yet understand, but not a long answer to all the bits I already know aren't worth looking into.
Keeping it as a single question makes it less interesting to most people, both readers and answerers. (more) |

The conversation is between you and a chat bot. You have a greater capacity for understanding Physics than this particular chat bot. This means that the chat bot is unlikely to be able to help you. However, it is designed to keep you talking, so it will find ways to agree with you even when it does n... (more) |

My aim was to help you shape this into a number of separate questions, each presented clearly so people can easily answer them.
If you just want an opinion on the whole conversation, and whether it supports the suggestion in the title, I'll do that in the next comment. (more) |

These are all advice on asking questions, which are best focused and succinct. For more relaxed, informal discussion there is also the chat, linked to from the right hand panel (or bottom of the page on mobile). Even there I don't recommend just pasting in a long conversation, but you could chat abou... (more) |

Generally, I would recommend just asking the question in your own words, but where other content is relevant to the question (whether it's from a book or from chat software) I recommend making it easy to tell at a glance which parts of the question are from which sources. (more) |

Personally, I would also omit the word "said" and put the speaker in bold:
> **You:** Can you explain strong nuclear Force?
>
> **ChatGPT:** The strong nuclear force (or strong interaction) is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak nucle... (more) |

Consider the following alternative layout:
> You said: Can you explain strong nuclear Force?
>
> ChatGPT said: The strong nuclear force (or strong interaction) is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak nuclear force.
This is now much ... (more) |

Presentation can make a question significantly easier to understand. Consider the following from the question:
> You said: Can you explain strong nuclear Force? ChatGPT said: The strong nuclear force (or strong interaction) is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, elect... (more) |

Having no formal physics education doesn't stop a person having a good insight into concepts they have learned independently. Having a high IQ doesn't necessarily mean a person will have the background knowledge required to understand an answer. Rather than including personal information such as thes... (more) |

The chat software appears to be focused on keeping you engaged, which means it will give encouraging responses regardless of what you say. For this reason it may not be as useful as it seems for assessing your ideas. Until chat software becomes more reliable, it may save you time to try other ways of... (more) |

Asking if anyone sees any validity in a long conversation makes it difficult to give a focused answer. Different answers may address different parts of the conversation, which makes it difficult to compare answers. Breaking this question down into specific points, each asked about in its own question... (more) |

This post is gathering downvotes. With a small, simple post it can sometimes be obvious why there are downvotes, but with a lengthy post like this I suspect it will be less clear what is being objected to.
I'll list the things I can think of, and other people can mention anything I've missed (or a... (more) |

Potential MathJax section in the formatting help MathJax is enabled in this community, but it is not mentioned in the formatting help. If MathJax guidance is wanted, there is some in the Mathematics Codidact formatting help (at the end). This could be copied as is, or a modified version could be used. Do you want to have MathJax guidance in t... (more) |
