Help me out here if you will...
I remember, before... a long time ago... in their respective sections there were a select few threads explaining a certain few topics that seemed to crop up incessantly.
Things like why 0.(9) == 1 and that all too familiar "What if we had a really long rod and pushed on one end?".

Where are those now?

They used to be in FAQ sections but now have been moved to the https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/stem-learning-materials.160/ forum. You really have to dig around to find any particular one.

Could we have a sticky message in each of the relevant forums, titled e.g. "Relativity FAQ" (etc) and containing the relevant link e.g. https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/stem-learning-materials.160/?prefix_id=85 (etc)
