MolecularMan14 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 I was just thinking, as I posted my last thread, why isnt there an optics section under Physics. It could be used for discussing...hmmm...optics, and such. lol
Primarygun Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 yes I want it. I want to learn optics It is very interesting Under physics or biology is ok
Sayonara Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 A new forum for one thread? That's what General Science is for guys.
Dave Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Well, optics is a little more complex than just one topic, but I don't think there'd be sufficient interest anyway tbh.
Sayonara Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 OK, maybe I was a bit glib. Put it this way - we compressed the exobiology forum into the evolution forum because it "only" had 320 threads. Why would we make a new forum for a subject which, in 2 years, has had fewer threads than I can count on my hand? Etc.
Dave Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Quite. (Exobiology didn't have that many threads surely? Posts?)
Sayonara Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Errr... yeah probably posts now I think about it. It had more than 80 threads though, as I am on "show 40 per page" and it was on its third page.
Dave Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah, that sounds about right. Lots of Mars stuff by ES though
Dave Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Oh good. Didn't really want to have to wade through that rubbish
AtomicMX Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Mmmm... i did not read this... but its somesort of a nice idea.. though the lack of interest may be present.... But optics with matrix calculations.... are really difficult and intresting.... :S...
MolecularMan14 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Posted July 28, 2004 Well Im not the biggest optics buff, but I was just posting something relating to light refraction and I figured that we might as well have an optics section.
Dave Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 I think it may be a very good idea in the future, when we start to get a few more users that are interested in this kind of thing. But for the time being, it's just not feasible to create an entire forum that probably isn't going to be used very much. We just scaled down a lot of forums to remove the amount of subforums around here, so it's the kind of thing we're trying to avoid.
MolecularMan14 Posted July 29, 2004 Author Posted July 29, 2004 lol, thats ok, I just thought it might be convenient to have a more detailed subforum
