SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the discrepancy in calculating the energy of the E(2+) state using the rotational energy formula. The expected result is 92 KeV, while the calculation yields 3096 KeV. A moderator points out that there is a flaw in the exercise, asserting that the original calculation is incorrect. This indicates a need for a deeper understanding of the rotational energy formula and its application in nuclear physics.
