Where Can I Find Explained Intro Physics Questions by Expert Members?

AI Thread Summary
Expert members previously provided detailed explanations for common introductory physics questions on the old site, such as the constancy of the speed of light. Users are having difficulty finding these resources on the new platform. The content has been relocated to the FAQ sections of various physics forums, including General Physics and Relativity. Additional resources can be found in the Math and Cosmology FAQ sections as well. The old Library's content is now integrated into these new formats for easier access.

Hi, on the old site there were pages of explanations for popular intro physics questions written by some of the more high profile members. Things like "why is speed of light constant?" and so forth. I was having trouble locating them, if they still exist.

Ah, I forgot about the old Library!
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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...

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...
