Reviewing Cheatsheet
[edit]- The following highlights current issues. Feel free to either add the issues you've identified, or to strike them as they've been resolved.
WikiProject Physics' Reviewing Cheatsheet (11:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC))
Do not remove the elements, but rather strike them as they becomes useless or irrelevant (i.e write
<s>text to be struck</s>) to indicate that this element was verified and found to be alright.
If everything in one of the section (i.e everything in one hidden-box has been addressed), strike that particular hidden box's title.
This cheetsheet can be used by anyone.
To add the Reviewing Cheatsheet to an article's talk page, simply place {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Projects of the Week/Reviewing Cheatsheet}} immediately before the first section.

Content
[edit]I am completely at a loss as to what we should say in this article. The subject is mind-bogglingly broad, and in some sense cuts sideways through more standard ways of organizing physics. Thast is to say, an "experimental particle physicist" is much more a type of "particle physicist" than a type of "experimental physicist." The roles, tasks, and organization of experimentalists are very different in different subfields. That being the case, what should this article say? -- SCZenz 01:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
One things for sure is that the article theoretical physics is well ahead of this one, and this should not be...

"LHC, or the Large Hadron Collider, which is currently under construction. The LHC will is scheduled to begin operation in 2008 and will be the world's most energetic collider upon completion, it is located at CERN, on the French-Swiss border near Geneva." <-- This is out of date (01/13/09)
A normal reader would not see any connection between the 2 experiments in the 2nd sentence ("the Cavendish experiment, to more complicated ones, such as the Large Hadron Collider") and the universe. Concerning the universe, one would think about observing stars, galaxies ets. and that is not the focus of experimental physics. --Fmrauch (talk) 22:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
Overview
[edit]I've added an overview of experimental physics. That ought to give a starting point for things. Headbomb (talk) 05:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think organising the information is a good approach. Can you structure the lists in the end, i.e. famous experiments and methods (into subfieds of physics) as well as famous experimentalists (into eras or also subfields of physics) 2001:9E8:2741:F400:29DC:8253:D3FD:64E4 (talk) 18:37, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
School Experiment for 8th grade need help
[edit]My Science topic this quarter is physics. :I was given a golf ball, cup, rubberband, candle and a match. I was told that the gofball must reach the cup after the candle has blown out. Can any one help me? I tried everything! Frustrated in MD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.17.102.83 (talk) 16:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
