AI Thread Summary
To embed a YouTube video player on a webpage, users can utilize the forum's advanced posting options. By clicking "go advanced" and selecting the TV icon, they can paste the video ID without the "v=" part of the URL. Alternatively, users can manually type "[YOUTUBE]" followed by the video ID and "[/YOUTUBE]" to achieve the same result. This method allows the video player to display directly in the post instead of just a text link. Following these steps ensures that the video is easily viewable before clicking.

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...
