AI Thread Summary
A unified theory of energy discussion on Physics Forums may face challenges due to the community's adherence to conventional academic views. Concerns about being dismissed or criticized can deter individuals from sharing their ideas. The forum's mix of educational outreach and advertisements can create an environment where contributions feel less legitimate. Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the forum's rules to ensure respectful engagement. Ultimately, initiating such discussions may not be suitable within the current structure of Physics Forums.

If someone believes they have developed a somewhat unified theory that brings together various physics concepts into a Unified Theory of Energy, but they are concerned about being dismissed or criticized by members who strongly adhere to conventional academic views, where in the Physics Forum would be the best place to initiate such a discussion?

Additionally, how can participants feel that their contributions are legitimate and respected in a forum like "Physics Forums", which has a mix of educational outreach with advertisements that may not align with the professional tone one might expect, thereby clearly establishing an audience that is steeped in "i already know everything"?

Nowhere on PF. Please read the rules linked to in Post #2 or under INFO at the top of the page. Thank you.

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...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
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...
