AI Thread Summary
The homework forums have seen a significant decline in activity during the winter break, with only a few dedicated users continuing to post. Those who do engage tend to ask insightful questions and demonstrate a strong work ethic. The discussion notes that there are more helpers than those seeking assistance, which is viewed positively. It is anticipated that forum activity will surge again in early January. The overall sentiment reflects a desire for more meaningful questions rather than erratic posts during the holiday season.

Seemingly we have an abundance of helpers with not so many helpees, which is never a bad thing ;)

Should be winter break forever :) Oh, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! :)

Oh of course, even mine :) I just wish all the questions posted were as less erratic and "spam-like" as they are over the break :P

An impossible Christmas wish.. :)

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...
