Based on my question edited multiple times I know that I would appreciate such a section very much. Editing it should not bump the question to the top of the list on the main site. I'm sorry if I'm ...

I added a comment to Could 3I/ATLAS be a fragment from a collision involving a TNO and an interstellar object?. Suppose events happened as you are supposing, except that this was long ago around ...

How do you type equations when asking a question. For example what exactly do click to write X=( 1 2) transposed. Do I need to click say html option in Body menu and then do what ?

How do you type equations at physics stack exchange. Seems like mathjax is proposed, but what are the steps ? Thanks Sorry about the tag and if this not the correct place to ask for help.

In this question, I had posted an answer with quotation to show that, while the statement of the question is about rotations, the fundamental underlying confusion lies in the fact that the OP does not ...

I just had a quick check on where the advice on how to ask a question is positioned and it's on the bottom right of the page you enter a question on. That's the least likely place to attract someone's ...

There were a bunch of back-and-forth comments on this answer of the question Beating the uncertainty principle for musicians I'm not really concerned about the deletion of my comments, I know the deal....

And by spherical cow I mean not real or figurative animals but those high-school level physics assumptions people make. So, if not explicitly stated otherwise, are we to assume things... ... Such as (...

Specifically, I think this question on the Chemistry stack is really more appropriate here. As best as I can tell, the physics stack also doesn't have this question yet, and I would be interested in ...

A decent fraction of our newest power users are partly or entirely powered by copy-pasting LLM output. If you've seen a bit of this stuff, it's pretty easy to tell. This is an interesting situation. ...

Is a white hole considered non-mainstream or mainstream physics? It is speculative, but could theoretically exist. Asking because there are white hole questions on this site.

There've been some in the past (example), but there's no canonical annual question.

My hardware is sick --- is it OK to ask about it on this site? There is a tag "[everyday-life]", but I'm not sure it would cover my question. In my case, the computer monitor got troublesome,...

When is a question with multiple questionmarks still one single question and when isn't it too broad if it needs those multiple questionmarks?

An old question, \oiint doesn't seem to work, asks whether it's possible to get the LaTeX command \oiint to work on this site. The MathJax team has recently ...

I’m a 14-year-old student passionate about physics and astrophysics. I often browse Physics SE to learn, and sometimes I come across fascinating “why” or conceptual questions, the kind that first got ...

If I'm trying to get help with something by asking a question on PSE but all the answers are wrong and yet are upvoted, then the question tends to get ignored. It seems people are less inclined to ...

I disagree with the closure of the question linked below, but I can't put the question in the reopen queue myself and I don't want to use my unilateral-reopen superpower. So let's talk about it ...

I still don't understand the reason for many closed questions on PSE. The last case is the following question. It seems to me a perfectly understandable question, hitting a central issue in the ...

I'm not familiar with the Physics Stacks Exchange question closing criteria, and I'd appreciate some clarification on the subject. For example, if I ask a question about a potentially empty space ...

For the past year, there's been a bunch of new users signing up and posting LLM-generated answers, of uneven but generally increasing quality. It turns out that some of this is associated with a new ...

As some background, this question came from a throwaway exercise by my professor for a reminder of Lagrangian mechanics in a relativistic setting. The original exercise simply gave the Lagrangian and ...

My recent answer to this old question was deleted, the question was closed later. The OP wrote: I want to find the potential in the half space including the cylinder. I answered that the potential ...

On the About page, Physics SE says: “This is a site for active researchers, academics, and students of physics. We welcome questions that are rigorous and within the scope of the scientific method.” ...

Can an object rotate faster than the speed of light? It is currently deeply downvoted and closed as dupe of Euclidean geometry in non-inertial frame. The question is exactly the type of questions ...

I am doing my own self-study and try to work through some practice problems just to make sure I understood the concepts. Sometimes I get stuck and I thought to ask here but my question was closed. Is ...

Potential energy of a charged ring This is the mentioned post I was referring to. Can this post be reopened, please? The above exchange was based on finding the potential energy due to a uniformly ...

Can someone please create the "positron" tag? I want to discuss positrons, and find questions about positrons only, NOT some general "antimatter."

This question should not have been closed, for reasons well articulated in the comments: Would the repetition of measuring a qubit after time-traveling always have the same result?

Disclaimer: I am aware that this post may elicit an adverse reaction from some readers, who may downvote it to express their disagreement with my perspective. It is their right, of course. I only ask ...
