AI Thread Summary
Including a website URL in a forum signature that features an article on Plasma Cosmology may violate forum guidelines if it pertains to banned subjects. While Plasma Cosmology itself isn't entirely banned from discussions, it is restricted in certain sections due to repetitive content. The forum staff acknowledges the complexity of discussing plasma properties in the cosmos, given their prevalence in the universe. The user’s site, which includes peer-reviewed citations, may still be appropriate for broader discussions. The forum staff will review the situation and provide further guidance.

Can I include my Web site URL in my signature (Example below) bearing in mind that it includes an article on a banned subject, Plasma Cosmology. The Web site is informative and extensively supported with peer-reviewed citations from mainstream journals.

I have recently contributed to the thread on "Is fire a plasma?", disagreeing with the mainstream answer provided.

Any links to crackpot sites or banned subjects would be in violation of forum guidelines.
 
I don't think that the subject of plasma cosmology is banned from overall physics forums, just from the debunking section due to people bringing up the same video's and material over and over (mainly the "thunderbolts of the gods" documentary, which is more on the speculative 'Electric Universe' side of things than most plasma cosmology concepts). Talk of plasma properites and how they effect the cosmos would be quite a extensive area to ban, considering that most of the universe is matter in a plasma state. The papers linked to on your site that have been published in established cosmology journals I'm sure will appropriate for discussion here. As for the link in your signature, I'm not sure, I'm no expert here. Thats an impressive site by the way, i had not seen half of those papers before. Did you make all of that yourself?

Topics banned in S&D are banned throughout PF. The entire staff is always aware of these decisions.

We will take a look at all of this and get back to you, so please be patient.
 
Note that the issue of Plasma Cosmology has been addressed in other discussions and continues by private messaging.
 
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...
