I think it was in Classical Physics, or it could have been in General Physics. The title involved a question about pendulum experiments. I posted to it last night and now I cannot find it. Was this thread deleted?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes, I see that the thread had to be deleted.
 
How can I find out the reason?
 
I have restored it, but it will remain closed as it violates our guidelines on personal theories.
 
Thanks Greg. I had not seen the posts made after mine. I can see how the op could be interpreted as wanting to discuss a personal theory.
 
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...
