AI Thread Summary
A user seeks permission from moderators to create a thread on quantum ethology, expressing uncertainty about its appropriateness for the forum. They attempted to contact moderator Greg Bernhardt but did not receive a response, leading to questions about whom else to ask. The discussion reveals that quantum ethology may intersect with philosophy, a topic the forum typically avoids. The moderators confirm they are currently deliberating the merits of such a thread, but the original inquiry is now closed. The outcome of the discussion remains uncertain regarding the thread's approval.

I want to create a thread about quantum ethology, and don't know whether such thread will be ok for moderators. Can I ask somebody whether I can post it? I wrote a PM to Greg Bernhardt, but he didn't respond, maybe he receives too much messages to read all? Whom of the moderators can I ask such a question?

I've never heard of quantum ethology but donning my Googles seems to indicate it falls at least partly in the realm of philosophy.

PF does not really do philosophy.

Perhaps they are discussing the merits of a quantum ethology thread even now.

We are. But not in this thread (which is now closed)
 
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...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
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...
