Experimenters regretting throwing away data

Modern experiments, especially in fields like particle physics, often collect far more data than they can process and save. Similarly, I can imagine that historical experimenters were limited by how...

Least-action classical electrodynamics without potentials

Is it possible to formulate classical electrodynamics (in the sense of deriving Maxwell's equations) from a least-action principle, without the use of potentials? That is, is there a lagrangian which...

Why don't matter bosons, like any non-ionized atoms with even numbers of protons and neutrons, fall through each other like ghosts?

Obviously, two chunks of pure Iron-56 won't pass through each other like photons go right through each other... Why is that?...

Is information conserved in quantum mechanics (after wave function collapse)?

I have heard in popular science that there is a law of "conservation of information." Some times this is described as: for any event that happens, there is enough information...

Thermodynamics and Newton's second law

Is it correct to say, that the Newton's laws (or a Newtonian system) is reversible if the friction isn't considered (the fact that the time is of second order $frac{d^2x}{dt^2}$)...

Interpretation of potential difference of a capacitor

Suppose I have 2 charges of arbitrary charge separated by a distance of 2a. The potential at a point, say A, finite distance from the two charges is the sum...

Is it possible to calculate the mass of gas remaining in a cylinder simply by measuring temperature and pressure?

Given $pV=nRT$, where; $p$ = Pressure, $V$ = Volume, $n$ = Number of moles of gas, $R$ = Gas constant and $T$ = Temperature...

Can we have conservation of momentum without conservation of energy?

According to Noether's theorem, if the Hamiltonian is invariant under translations in a given direction, then the corresponding linear momentum is conserved. And if the Hamiltonian is time-independent, then the...

How is Pauli's exclusion principle conserved in transformations from real space to $k$ space for a Fock space hopping Hamiltonian?

$$hat{H}= -tsum_{langle i,jrangle} c_{isigma}^{+}c_{jsigma}+h.c$$ For this Hamiltonian a lattice with all sites doubly occupied would give 0 in real space and for single occupancy it gives $-4t^{2}L$ following...
