AI Thread Summary
The MySQL upgrade originally scheduled for August 5th at 11pm CST has been postponed due to internet issues. It is now set for tonight at 11:30 CST, with an expected downtime of around 30 minutes. The upgrade aims to enhance stability and efficiency for the platform. However, users may experience several brief outages today as adjustments are made post-upgrade. The forum experienced downtime for about five hours earlier, which has since been resolved.

We're going to be upgrading our database system this Sunday August 5th around 11pm CST. I would expect there to be no more than 30min downtime. Afterwards PF should be even more stable and efficient. That's all, thanks!

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...
