It showed up on the first screen I got to open after another short "outage." Looks like something broke between this site and Greg's Pampered Chef site. :smile: Cheesegraters! :smile: It seems to be gone again though. I really hope whatever Greg does tomorrow night fixes these outages! I don't know how much longer I can take it! :cry:

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...
