SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the importance of the "Experimental Basis of Special Relativity" FAQ, which participants believe should be reinstated as a top-level sticky due to its significance. Users express their reliance on this resource more than any other, indicating its critical role in understanding special relativity. There is a suggestion to remove less essential stickies, such as those on Maxwell’s Equations and mass-energy generation, to prioritize the twin paradox and experimental basis stickies. The consensus is clear: the experimental basis FAQ is essential for ongoing discussions in the field of relativity.
