Results of physics would not make sense is they do not follow Mathematical theories( Whats your take on uniqueness theorem in electrostatics?) | |
| Apr 29, 2016 at 20:00 | comment | added | tpg2114 | @caconyrn We've talked about that before and the prevailing opinion is that we shouldn't need an answer to make a question on-topic. If the question cannot stand on its own, it cannot stand, even if great answers somehow prop it up later. | |

| Apr 27, 2016 at 18:47 | comment | added | sammy gerbil | The reasons given for closing appear to be invalid : the question is very specifically focussed and shows obvious effort ("my attempt"). I think it reasonable of the questioner to doubt the correctness of his result (due to its ugliness) and to wonder if there is an easier method. I would feel the same. He is not merely asking "check my results." | |
