Get on: 4. To acquire understanding or knowledge.
One of the meanings of the phrase "get on" is the above.
Can we use it like in the following?
1) Get on physics. (to mean acquire knowledge in physics).
Can it also be used to mean "come to this" in context like, come to Skype?
The dictionary I refer never gives any meaning which would make "get on" mean "come to". However, I see people here using it in colloquial English.
