Is There a Platform for Hosting a General Relativity Study Group in Physics?

AI Thread Summary
There is a need for effective online platforms to host a study group focused on general relativity for graduate physics students. The discussion emphasizes the importance of fostering active participation among members, suggesting that remote engagement may be insufficient. While some platforms like Meetup were considered, concerns were raised about their ability to motivate participants effectively. The conversation highlights a desire for tools that facilitate real involvement and collaboration. Overall, the search continues for suitable methods to create a vibrant and engaging study group in physics.

Dear All,
I am looking for tools and even online platform able to host a study group in physics. My goal would be the creation of a general relativity group. It will be a study group for graduated in physics (then not for amateurs) that for the simple pleasure of science would like to partecipate in such task. I went trough a list of platform and tool for collaborative work but I don't know if any of them would be the right choice. Could someone suggest me the best way to create and manage such group pushing people to be active member of it? Do you know any news about already existing groups?
Thank you

For this reason I am looking for some modalities allowing real participation. I went platform as meet up but it seems to me that there is no special motivation is given from meet up aorganiation. Is it possible that nobody never though about how to real involve people?
Thanks

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
