Maybe you did resgister an account the gmail address sometime in the past and now you didn't remmeber it.
Or, another possibility is that someone may have used it to resgister their account. But if this happened, I wondered how they could activate their account...

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.
