What is the physical meaning of the action in Lagrangian mechanics?

The action is defined as $S = int_{t_1}^{t_2}L , dt$ where $L$ is Lagrangian. I know that using Euler-Lagrange equation, all sorts of formula can be derived, but...

Why don't low frequency phonons scatter electrons in a superconductor?

A crystal at any finite temperature has phonons, as longer wavelength phonons require less energy to be excited. It seems that the electron (or cooper pair composite particle) wave would...

The equivalent statement of the dominant energy condition

Following Hawking and Ellis,section 4.3, page 91, the dominant energy condition stipulates that for every timelike vector $W_a$, the energy-momentum tensor $T^{ab}$ satisfies the inequality $T^{ab}W_aW_bge 0$,...
