| Oct 31, 2013 at 3:03 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Mod | BTW--I do think that there are users on this site who don't respect what experimenters do and know. The only consolation that I can offer you is that most of them don't know what we do and know. And while everyone likes to joke about the culture-clash between theorists and experimenters I've only every met a few people who take it seriously. Of them, most were simply second-raters themselves (even by my standards, and I could be accused of being not-quite first-rate myself), and the other one was simply a [four letter anglo-saxon word redacted] not-very-nice-human-being. | |

| Oct 30, 2013 at 22:42 | comment | added | Manishearth Mod | @UV-D Well, a certain group of meta-active users are interested in TP, specifically BSM physics and string theory (this was the primary focus of TheoreticalPhysics.SE which was merged into this site). This is not a majority of the site scope, though, nor is it a majority of the community. What you see on that post is that many users who ignore the experimental tags see a dichotomy of good theoretical questions and bad basic questions. But we have active experimentalists, and nobody considers experimental physics "bad" here as far as I can tell, they just forget to consider it at times. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 19:29 | comment | added | user29350 | I am getting that impression as, correctly or incorrectly, a lot meta posts seem to be inferring (on face value) that anything other than theoretical physics is considered non-professional by the community... example meta.physics.stackexchange.com/questions/5102/… | |

| Oct 30, 2013 at 14:05 | comment | added | Manishearth Mod | They are welcome (I may have asked one or two myself). Though I'll let dmckee answer this one in full, he's the experimentalist. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 13:28 | comment | added | jinawee | There are experimental questions in the site, although it seems that they are less than theoretical ones. And there are some experimental physicists, like dmckee and annav. | |
