AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the ability to vote on a poll regarding difficult theoretical physics subjects for undergraduates. Some users believe voting should be allowed indefinitely, while others clarify that the poll is functioning correctly and is open for voting. It is noted that each participant can only vote once, which may lead to confusion about the poll's status. Users are encouraged to report any issues if they perceive the poll as closed. Overall, the poll is operational, and participants are reminded of the voting limitations.

WIth the thread, "Which subjects in theoretical physics do undergrads find most difficult?" In Acadmic and couse advice subforum, Could you please allow people to be able to vote again, indefinitely into the future? Voting seemed to have stopped after 1 day. Thanks.

The poll looks open to me. Maybe someone already took care of it and didn't get a chance to return here to comment on it. If you're still seeing it as a closed poll, report back, because it would suggest the mentors are seeing something different than you there, which shouldn't be the case on a poll.
 
I also see that the pole is open.
 
Actually I realized that I have already voted and that is why when I look at it, it seems closed. Each person can only vote once as I have specified. So there is no problem.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
