AI Thread Summary
To prevent questions from appearing on Google, users must understand that all posts on public forums are accessible to search engines. The visibility of questions and answers serves as a resource for the broader community, particularly in educational contexts like physics. If privacy is a concern, seeking private tutoring is recommended instead of posting publicly. Additionally, using the "site:" operator in Google searches can yield more effective results than the forum's internal search function. Engaging in public forums enhances collective knowledge, benefiting all users.

I was wondering how i can make my questions not show on google. Because it seems that other people can view my questions and answers when googled.

I wouldn't have it any other way. An answer to a question posted on PF is a resource for anyone who is interested in physics, not just for the person who asked the question originally. If you want private answers, arrange for private tutoring.

Also, Google search with the "site:" operator, e.g.

relativistic mass site:physicsforum.com

is a much more effective way of searching PF than PF's own forum search function is.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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...

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...
