Restructuring the 'Links' Page

AI Thread Summary
The current structure of the Links page separates astronomy and cosmology from physics resources, which some users find outdated. A proposed reorganization suggests integrating astronomy and cosmology within the physics category for better coherence. The existing alphabetical listing does not reflect the forum's thematic connections. Users advocate for a layout that aligns more closely with the forum's content and structure. A revised Links page could enhance user navigation and resource accessibility.

The sections under the Links are reminiscent of the old structure of PF (relativity, astronomy and cosmology separated from the rest of physics, for example). Some reordering that reflects the forum would be nice. :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The categories are listed alphabetically.
 
But still, astronomy and cosmology are outside physics resources.

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...
