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 (International Journal of Recent Advances in Physics) published it in the current August 2025 volume. I really can't believe they did that, but they did. It covers some of the discussion contained in the threads here. Here's the link: https://wireilla.com/physics/ijrap/vol14.html. Check the Acknowledgements at least. Don't know anything about their different journals more than they are located in New South Wales, Australia.
The paper seems like a guppy amongst whales to me. It is just a simple, high school math model, and it is in with the QM and other highly complicated physics papers! Physics was never my field; my education was a BS in Mineral Engineering. Optics still falls within Physics, though.
Thank you all again. I thought all your comments and criticisms were valid and very good.
