Rest in Peace, Dr. Gregory Greenman, aka @Morbius. Underneath the occasional curmudgeon-like exterior, Morbius was a gentleman and a scholar and a PF friend. I was wondering why we had not heard from him for a few years so I began looking and, alas, sadly, I came across this January 2015 obituary for him.

I doubt that he shared many qualities of the comic book vampire Dr. Morbius, but the one quality that we all wish he had was longevity. Alas he was only 60 when he died.

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...
