We're sad to report that @cristo is taking leave from the mentorship due to some exciting life changes. @cristo was a great addition to Physics Forums for over 8 years! We've been assured that once his real life settles down he'll be back being active in the community again! We will wait patiently for that day!

To help fill the space of @cristo leaving, we are very excited to have @NascentOxygen join the team. @NascentOxygen has been friendly and trusted member for several years now. We're lucky to have him and look forward to his contributions.

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...
