Request questions from sites on the StackExchange networks that are on-topic here too, to be imported here. Moderators may then import the question.

Addendum

This thread can not only be used to request importing single questions, but PhysicsOverflow members who like some or all of their (for PhysicsOverflow on topic) SE posts imported can say so in a corresponding answer here too. Any other specific list of questions is fine too.

@RonMaimon I agree, but hide, not delete (delete erases from the database itself).  

@Dilaton On SE, answers can be ordered by time if one needs to, but not here.  

@RonMaimon hiding is ok But concerning references and study material (concerning advanced topics) they newer cluttered any site on SE (not the ones I was interested in) so they will not here either. They were considered legitimate in TP.SE and they are not forbidden on MathOverflow. So please dont introduce this for (advanced) students and people who want to learn about a new topic obstructive SE point of view (in SE they always said you can ask in chat which means forget about it because there are no physics people in chat)

ok, but the point is that it shouldn't come with rep, and it's extremely easy to do, and it only needs to be done once in each topic, so perhaps when reviews are up, it can be done in reviews. You can ask the same question on each topic, I think it's best to make a literature review for each tag on reviews, so that each topic has a set of references people can add to. It's just not effort to find literature.

@Ron Maimon what do you mean exactly by "the post disappeared"?! I hope there's no auto-deletion in Q2A core, like there is on SE.  

I meant it moved to a random position in the questions list, it wasn't bumped anymore.

Nah, I think we do not (yet) have to start deleting, this and the community moderation threads can naturally get pretty long, but I conjecture that thethe number of answers can get large but it should stay finite ...

Ok, hid them. If you find this annoying, unhide. I still think book recommendations belongs in meta, it will clutter up the main site. (I unhid them myself, as it caused the question to disappear for lack of activity)

Please consider importing this question:

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/14056/how-does-gravitational-lensing-account-for-einsteins-cross

It has a broken image link to tinypic.com (which is going down this month) and which the Wayback Machine is unable to recover. Hopefully @RonMaimon can fix it here.

Could you import this?

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/510794/expression-for-the-11-dimensional-retarded-dirac-propagator-in-position-space

 It seems only specialists could provide a reference to the requested technical computation.

Could this be imported?

It doesn't seem like SE has many answers to QFT questions

Could we also import the question: https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/578265/136928?

I would like to reach a broader audience to see what the opinions are on this question.

Could you help me to import my questions from:
physics.stackexchange.com

https://physics.stackexchange.com/users/42982/annie-marie-heart?tab=questions

Please let me know whether I can get notifications when people answer it by sending me email a notification. ;-)

answered Oct 12, 2020 by annie marie heart (1,205 points) [ no revision ]

Hi annieheart,

seems you have rather nice questions over there!

To import them will take a while, as we have to do it by hand one by one.

Cheers

Please do help!!!  Lol  <3

Could we import the following post?

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/608938/360-degree-rotation-of-a-string-operator-in-a-string-net-liquid

I asked this question on SE, but so far no one answered. It is quite technical and relates to the definition of "angular momentum" in the string-net theory. I think the users here might be in a better position to answer this question.
