Oh please, stop this nonsense. Even in ordinary language there are tons of words that have multiple meanings, depending on the context...

@Amazed, could please stop telling me, and other physicists, how to do, understand and think about physics? You don't go to surgeons and...

While not definitive, one might make a good start by grouping all things into either fermions or bosons. Fermions obey the Pauli...

To move things along, I will answer and proceed. Specifying a boundary value selects one solution out of a family of solutions. Why...

This is why in the development of the Riemann integral, you need an sequence of upper bounds and a sequence of lower bounds that...

Well, I made the point earlier (although it didn't receive any replies--sniff) that even when two interpretations/models are exactly...

The idea is that you have a right triangle with two unit sides. Shape n has n equal horizontal steps and n equal vertical steps instead...

Here is the solution: The kinetic and potential energies of the system are $$U_k=2\cdot\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mv^2,~~~U_p=-\frac{Gm^2}{2r}.$$...

What do you think specifying a boundary value does?

There is nothing about your experience that is incompatible with the block universe. See the following thread...

What do you think specifying a boundary value does?

No, they aren't correct with respect to the vertical component. To see this, consider the spot exactly in the center of a charged...

It actually isn’t different if you are close to the center of one of the plates. And it is a good example to show that the “vertical”...

IMO already having 3 is confusing and fragmented. Besides, we have already discussed this: a plate capacitor close to the center of the...

I think it similar to the proof that pi=4 in the video below at 1:39. The explanation at 15:09 points out the fallacy @PeroK mentions above.
