Q: The proper use of articles (a/the) with physical concepts

YrogirgI'm not a native speaker and I have this question for some time now. What articles and when should be placed with physical and mathematical concepts? General Rules? a/the force a/the manifold a/the flux of a/the/() field ... I think it would be better to ask here rahther than on english.stack...

Dear @Qmechanic, could you have a look at this tag and the short characterization I have written for it? They had this tag on theoretical physics SE and I think it could be useful here too. In particular, it would be nice to have such a string-theory-landscape tag to distinct legitimate questions about investigations of the string-theory landscape against just more philosophical issues, which are at present often both tagged
by "anthropic principle". I well remember that there is some hassle about the legitimacy of valid questions because these two cases are often not well enough distinguished. Having such a new tag for valid theoretical physics questions about mathematical and physical investigations of the ST landscape could help preventing such distracting hassles.
 
12:44 PM
Dear @Dilaton, I think the tag and its tag description is OK.

@Manishearth How many years were you planning for such a huge story?

Q: Deleting an upvoted comment

KitchiI'm trying to flag a comment for removal on my answer to this question. The comment (made by Anna V) is obsolete, because I successfully managed to flag the other comments on the thread (the thread was about how to upload an image in an answer). But I originally upvoted her comment, and now I'm...

 
@CrazyBuddy Planned to post it: After becoming a mod. Got reminded a weekish ago. Was writing it for the past 2 days between making SolidWorks models
 
4:29 PM
@Manishearth But, Manish - you're a great mod indeed (Its very hard to make it come out of my mouth). Awesome post :-)
And, I saw that post too (dmckee's response)
And, you've become one among the black NINJAS :-P
Since you're an old-geek in MSO, I could ask you something
That - could I ask such a question or not..?
@Manishearth Hey, wait a min... Are you there?
 
4:45 PM
Ok, Never mind - Bye
 
5:15 PM
@CrazyBuddy Ask away. (sorry, I wasn't there)
 
5:30 PM
Eg, gtg again
@CrazyBuddy In chat, don't be afraid to ask me anything! If I don't want to answer, I'll let you know, but that would probably only be in cases where answering would involve breaking the mod agreement :)
Instead of going "Manish, can I ask you something?", just ask it. I'll answer when I have time :D
 
6:11 PM
@CrazyBuddy If you ask in the assembly there are very many mods that can help you.
 
6:36 PM
Hi @Manishearth, you're a mod here, right? One of the questions on Physics is an exact dupe of one of the questions on AVP. We should probably close one and merge it into the other. Do you have an opinion on which way that should go?

Q: Determine whether resonance/standing waves are from speakers or room?

Jeff AxelrodI have two massive resonances (more than 12db above the response curve elsewhere) with my bookshelf monitors placed on a desk in a large furnished, carpeted room. One is at about 110 Hz and another at about 250 Hz. Are there any rules of thumb for determining whether response issues stem from...

@Sklivvz Oh, Thank you Sklivvz. I haven't seen such a room :-)
 
7:35 PM
@WarriorBob I'll send it over to you guys, you can merge. It's rather OT here
 
@Manishearth Sounds good! Thanks.
 
And done! Thank you again.
 
you're welcome :)

Ah, thanks, I had a funny feeling about that question being here
I seek input on the duplicateness of this question:

Q: Is it possible to reproduce the energy spectrum of quantum chaos using classical cellular automata?

Lou PIs it possible to reproduce the energy spectrum of quantum chaos using classical cellular automata? It's hardly impressive to reproduce harmonic oscillators.

as in, I don't think it's a duplicate of the one linked, but if I'm in the distinct minority, I can still close it
 
I don;t feel so, either, but I haven't read through it
Plus I don't understand all of it, so I backed off from dealing with that one.
Will take a closer look
Hmm, not a dupe

I disagree but... what do I know...
:-)
They are exactly about the same thing
 
10:31 PM
Those two questions does not look the same. The linked question does not seems to talk chaos.
@dilation and @Chris White, can you two not retagged at the same hour? The first 11 questions are already yours and the Community.
The question asking astro-photography and buying equipment doesnt sound quite right here: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/25999/…
 
@hwlau ah yes, I think we sent astrophotography questions to photo.SE during the migration
unfortunately this one is too old to migrate

@hwlau Sorry about that - I'll cut back on retagging
 
user54412
@DavidZaslavsky I'm not sure how OT that question was
 
user54412
If you read it, it's about which telescope to get - nothing to do with cameras at all
 
user54412
but i guess it is still kinda an outlier
 
@ChrisWhite Yeah, I guess there's a case to be made for it not being closeable
but we've always shied away from allowing questions about the tools used to do physics
(though that may be changing)
If there is a good case made on meta for reopening it I wouldn't mind doing so
