AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights frustrations regarding perceived censorship within the scientific community, particularly in online forums. A user expresses disappointment over a closed thread discussing solar surface issues, feeling that it reflects a broader "silence the heretic" mentality. Responses clarify that the forum operates under specific rules aimed at distinguishing between established science and personal theories, emphasizing that it does not represent the scientific community at large. The importance of adhering to forum guidelines is reiterated, pointing out that participation requires agreement to those rules. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the tension between personal expression and community standards in scientific discourse.

The problem with the surface of the sun in the other directory is the same problem with the one in this directory. The thread was closed before I could even respond. Evidently the scientific community isn't that open to new ideas. It seems to live by a "silence the heretic" mentality.

wHICH POST OF YOU?

CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK?
 
This forum does not 'represent' the scientific community. It has a specific mandate, clearly spelled out in the rules, eschewing personal theories. This is not a personal discrimination, it is designed to help interested readers separate education from speculation.

The wonderful thing about the web is that you have complete freedom to write whatever you want and publish it - which you did as we have all seen. But you do NOT have the right to advertise your wares wherever you want, which is what you're doing here, in this privately run site.

You are sadly misguided if you think that a PRIVATELY run website represents the "scientific community". This always happens when quacks think science is done on open public forums.

When you signed up to be a member here (you DID sign up after all, didn't you?) you EXPLICTLY agreed to abide by the rules and regulation as stipulated. Evidently, your word and agreement to go by those rules have no value.

Zz.
 
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...
