In summary, the conversation discusses the challenge of communicating and understanding complex concepts, particularly in the scientific field. The participants share their frustrations with people who do not fully clarify their questions and discuss the importance of considering both the logical and emotional aspects of information. They also touch on the issue of privacy in relation to the wikileaks controversy.

They can be analogous as the institutions that are being exposed are composed of people who will really be effected by the information released.

You cannot request information deemed private. It is illegal to release private information.

You can request public information.

However, if something is deemed secret / classified it is covered for, I believe, 50 years and cannot be release for that time. After which, you can request it (as recently happened with classified WW2 documents).

FAQ: Solving Difficult Physics Questions: Beyond Technical Thinking?

How can I improve my problem-solving skills in physics?

To improve your problem-solving skills in physics, it is important to practice regularly and approach problems with a systematic approach. This includes breaking down the problem into smaller, more manageable parts, identifying relevant equations and concepts, and making logical connections between them.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when solving difficult physics questions?

Some common mistakes to avoid when solving difficult physics questions include not fully understanding the problem, using incorrect or incomplete equations, and not showing all steps of your solution. It is also important to carefully check your units and calculations for accuracy.

How can I think beyond technical solutions when solving physics problems?

To think beyond technical solutions when solving physics problems, it is helpful to have a strong conceptual understanding of the subject. This can involve visualizing the problem, making analogies to real-world situations, and thinking creatively about possible solutions.

What resources can I use to help me solve difficult physics questions?

There are many resources available to help you solve difficult physics questions, including textbooks, online tutorials, and practice problems. You can also seek help from your teacher or peers, or join a study group to discuss and work through challenging problems together.

How can I stay motivated when faced with difficult physics questions?

Staying motivated when faced with difficult physics questions can be challenging, but it is important to remember that problem-solving skills are developed through practice and persistence. It can also be helpful to take breaks, seek help when needed, and remind yourself of the broader goals and applications of studying physics.
