[QUOTE="hutchphd, post: 6830798, member: 635497"] In order to find a useful approximate solution, one must rigorously define the purpose and range of the approximation, and never lose sight of the validity thereof. Much good physics has been done by making assumptions and rigorously deriving the results thereof. Hans Bethe, for instance, was famous for making the correct[I] ansatz[/I] in an otherwise intractible situation. But he never lost sight of the limitations and sometimes figuring out why such an [I]ansatz [/I]works better than expected reveals hidden details. [/QUOTE]
