Lets suppose we have an object but we cannot tell anything about it.Energy,speed anything you can imagine.If there's no speed or energy,Is this means we can't tell object situation in physics Is that possible.Cause we have a object but we cannot describe the situation of it (I mean using physics).So physics don't work in that object?

Mentor's note: In a later post, Quarlep clarified that the question he's trying to ask is:
If we have a particle, but there's no way to detect it, does physics still work on that object?

Physics will work perfectly well on the object whether YOU know anything about it or not.
 
My kids are somewhere in my house but right now I don't know where they are or what they are doing. I'm hope the laws of physics still applies to them.

What was the question again?

Are you asking about..

As Zz said, this is silly. Thread closed.

Please read up on the particle in a box problem before posting another iteration of it.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
