    Do theoretical physicists also work in labs?

    Yupp. Theory is instantly put into trash when experiments disprove it. Experimental verification has the final say in deciding the fate of a theory. The problem is experiments aren't always possible. The energy requirements could be too high or time taken for computation could be greater than...

    High School Why are dimensions always at right angles?

    He's talking about relativity. It assumes a 4 dimensional space where time is another dimension. Time dilation tell us that time doesn't flow at equal rate depending on your velocity and gravitational potential. So time rate has to be measures. This is simplified by choosing a 4 dimensional...
