AI Thread Summary
Online book clubs focused on cosmology textbooks are being sought, similar to traditional literature book clubs. The conversation highlights the potential for collaborative learning in physics subjects, with a mention of the idea suggested by Srendnicki regarding quantum field theory. In the U.S. college context, such gatherings are often referred to as "study groups," which have historically been popular for collaborative study and discussion. The interest in these formats indicates a desire for community engagement in complex scientific topics.

In USA colleges, we used to call them "study groups" and they did flourish. Hopefully, they still do.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
