AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user who shared potentially incorrect derivations of the Schrödinger equation while admitting uncertainty about their accuracy. The user received a warning for this post, prompting questions about the nature of misinformation and the criteria for warnings. It was suggested to privately message the user who issued the warning for clarification. The thread was ultimately locked due to its specific focus on the warning issue rather than broader relevance. For further disputes or questions regarding the warning, contacting the issuing mentor is advised.

I stated that I'd seen some derivations of the Shcrodinger equation so I put them up and made it clear I had no idea if they were correct, they were wrong and kindly Jtbell explained why? I got warned for it? Why? I was only asking a question, it's not misinformation if you clearly state that you have no idea whether it is correct; can anyone explain to me where and in what way this is misinformation? Honestly admitting that it could be wrong?

You should probably PM jtbell, if he gave you the warning.
 
Since this is an issue over a warning, and not something generally relevant to others on the board, I'm going to lock this thread. Please contact the mentor who issued the warning if you would like further clarification or wish to dispute it.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

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...
