This is the best physics forum ever. I also have been posting on the advanced physics forum (sorry guys) and i can only say that it is nothing compared to the quality of this forum. Congratulations to all the administrators and mentors. Various things like the journals, the interaction between members, the number of posts and posters, the many subforums, the style make this initiative unique in internet-land.

Just a token of my appreciation

Congrats and thanks to all the members! We can only build the framework :smile:
 
It is the best science and the best maths bulletin board. I think one of the best innovations was the integrating LaTeX and I know that there are sevreal forums trying to emulate this feat.
 
Yeah, PF rocks. I can't imagine where I would be without it. And with the FAQ threads in the works and formal debates possibly starting, PF just keeps getting better. :biggrin: Maybe group discussions like hypnagogue's and Mattson's will start catching on too.

What I really love is the something-for-everyone format here. There's a place for the students to get help, and places for professionals to have more in-depth discussions, and even room to play.
 
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...
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...
