| Aug 1, 2011 at 12:54 | comment | added | Piotr Migdal | I agree that the experimentalists should be invited (and personally I preferred name "Research-level Physics" instead of "Theoretical Physics"). However, there is an idea in calling it TP.SE: while there is an huge intersection, mixing theory with strictly technical questions (e.g. What is the acceptable noise in XXX oscilloscope at 31oT?) is not a good idea. Still, not-technical questions which are in principle experimental are welcome (e.g. What is the shortest scale at which gravity was tested?). | |
| Jul 29, 2011 at 15:53 | comment | added | qftme | I very much agree (but can't upvote for some reason?) I want to add another thought or two: most of the arguments I have seen for TP.SE seem to be calling for a 'research-level' site with 'research-level' questions, supported by a 'research-level' community. I can foresee nothing but mutual gain to include professional experimentalists in the site and assosciated community. It would certainly be very easy to distinguish between such professions on the questions-page and I don't doubt that everyone would occasionally stumble upon an experimental/theoretical-based that interested them | |
