Q: How to handle questions that could belong to physics.SE and other, more specialized, SE websites?
First of all, I joined physics.SE only for the purpose of asking this question on Meta.
I asked a couple of questions regarding acoustic in sound.SE. For example What are combs, nodes and how to calculate the nodes and comb frequencies at a given position? or to a lesser extent How works perfora...
Noether's theorem or Noether's first theorem states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. The theorem was proven by mathematician Emmy Noether in 1915 and published in 1918, after a special case was proven by E. Cosserat and F. Cosserat in 1909. The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function (which may be an integral over space of a Lagrangian density function), from which the system's behavior can be determined by the principle of least action. This theorem only applies to continuous and smooth...
What To Do When The Trisector Comes claims that most cranks (for lack of a better word) are old men (trisector refers to a specific type of crank):
One obvious characteristic of trisectors is that they are old. The typical trisector heard of the trisection in his geometry class, but did not s...
