Its a big field of study but is it because one can either analyse optics 'microscopically' which would be in QM or 'macroscopically' which would be EM or general physics subforums.
There are a few possible reasons for this. One is that there may not be enough demand or interest from the community for an Optics Subforum. Another reason could be that there are already existing forums or websites dedicated to optics that fulfill this need. Additionally, the moderators of the forum may have decided that optics is not within the scope of the forum's main topics.
No, optics is definitely considered a legitimate field of science. It is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the instruments used to detect and manipulate it. However, it may not be a topic that is heavily discussed or focused on in this particular forum.
Yes, you can still discuss optics-related topics in the forum. While there may not be a dedicated subforum for optics, you can still start a thread or participate in discussions about optics within the existing subforums. Just make sure to stay within the forum's guidelines and keep the discussion relevant to the topic.
It is possible that an Optics Subforum may be added in the future, depending on the demand and interest from the community. However, this decision ultimately lies with the moderators of the forum and their assessment of the forum's main focus and goals.
Yes, there are many online forums, communities, and websites dedicated to discussing optics and related topics. You can also join professional organizations or attend conferences and workshops to network and engage in discussions with other experts in the field of optics.
