Why Not a Geophysics/Planetary Physics Category?

[BadBrain]

I recently had my thread: "Reason for Loss of Mas of Planet Mercury" (sorry for the typo on the word "mass") moved to the "General Astronomy" category. If Mercury has been ruled to be a star, I didn't get the memo.

What I wrote clearly belongs under the category of "Planetary Physics", and I'm a little surprised that this forum doesn't have a category for "Planetary Physics/Geophysics".

Would it be asking to much to request such a category?

(By the way, I'm taking another look at my Mercury theory, and I'm rapidly losing confidence in it, at least in its present form.)

We have an "Earth" subforum in "other sciences"

[micromass]

An extra category would be nice, but I'm afraid it would be rather empty. There aren't a lot of planetary physics questions around. So I don't think it would deserve its own category.

There are other omissions, like a functional analysis forum or a civil engineering forum. But there are also not enough posts in order to create the new category...

But Greg knows all...

Thanks, although I'm not sure a post about Mercury would fit into a subforum entitled "Earth".

Micromass:

I get your point.

And who's "Greg"? (I'm new to this forum.)

By the way, I love your motto: "I am become the supreme onion, the saddener of worlds". Sort of like Professor Oppenheimer's famous Vedic quotation at Trinity Site.

Hi BadBrain, unfortunately we don't have enough space to create a subforum for every discipline, so we have to group things together.

Greg owns this site, and we are his minions. micromass is my personal Supreme Onion minion.

It will take awhile to get accustomed, but in the meantime, got a favorite fish?

P.S. If micro ever offers a link, don't click on it!! :surprised

Evo!! You're spoiling my fun :cry:

I understand the space issue. (Actually, being a planetary physicist, there are few space issues I shouldn't understand! :rofl: )

As far as my favourite fish is concerned, I really like Lake Perch, but I somehow think you're talking about something else. (Babel fish, perhaps?) In any case, could you please clarify?

Concerning Micromass's links, I'm not going near that one.

But, one question: Why do I always get tossed off the forum every half-hour or so after I've last posted? Is there some setting I need to adjust to prevent that, or do I just have to suffer through it?

Now you're initiated.

I find that annoying as well. But I'm afraid you'll have to suffer through it :frown:

BadBrain, when you log in, do you check the "remember me" box?

My niece is a planetary geophysicist.

There is a "remember me" box???? :surprised You don't get logged out automatically if you click that??? Wow...

[Evo]

There is a "remember me" box???? :surprised You don't get logged out automatically if you click that??? Wow...Yeah, I have one and I never get logged off.

You don't have one when you go to log on?

[micromass]

Yeah, I have one and I never get logged off.

You don't have one when you go to log on?

Wow, this is so cool to know :cool: I'm trying it now.

OK. The fish slapping sketch was boring the first time I saw it decades ago, and it's hardly improved with age. But consider me initiated, whatever that means.

The site does, indeed, remember me, but it's still a slight hassle to have to log in every time I want to post.

And MASSIVE CONGRATS TO YOUR NIECE!!!!

And MASSIVE CONGRATS TO YOUR NIECE!!!!She's my brother's second wife's niece. I had nothing to do with it. :biggrin:

Oh, no, not DISCO!!!

MY BRAIN IS MELTING!!!

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SCIENCE OF MOTION AGAIN??

I CAN'T RECALL IT, BECAUSE OF THAT DISCO!!!

[BadBrain]

I'm OK now. I've found the antidote:

Only for Evo. She clicks it, so that none of us can forget her. :biggrin:

Pffft, like I could ever be forgotten. :wink:
