AI Thread Summary
The "printable version" of forum threads currently displays LaTeX codes instead of rendered equation images due to a shift to MathJax, which processes LaTeX client-side via JavaScript. This change contrasts with previous functionality where LaTeX was rendered on the server and displayed as images. Users have expressed concern over this alteration, noting that it worked correctly in the past. After some discussion, a solution was found that resolved the issue. Overall, the transition to MathJax has impacted the display of mathematical content in printable formats.

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...
