Your premise is flawed: Nobel prizes have been awarded for "identifying things" like radiation, argon, the neutron, the CMB, and many others. The distinction between "identifying" and "explaining" is …

Math is itself no math, any math symbol or theorem can be ultimately explained without math.

Well, It was expected that most complains would be about the "white on black"... But I must say that this is generally not true, that it is unusual setup for physicist. Or even that it is more more …

photon → electromagnetic-radiation photons → electromagnetic-radiation virtual-photons → electromagnetic-radiation It would be nice if all things related to propagating electromagnetic fields would …

I would prefer it rather to see the community doing good questions and answers. Is such an increase or additional amount of moderation by activities like closing, flagging, hunting artifically posts …

This site actively discourages the kind of back-and-forth argumentation that is essential to the problem-sovling process (at least the way I solve problems). I solved some pretty good physics problem …

As suggested in a comment above, I have created a tag probably-off-topic and proposed it as a synonym for soft-question. This seems to require a community vote. My proposal for the way forward is to …

Speed of RF waves and IR waves is same as 3*10^8 m/s This seems to be a very elementary question with a straight-forward answer which can be found in every introductory physics text. I have not, how …

Power dissipation in AC RC circuit We should seriously consider not allowing such questions here. Under the current policy this is allowed homework, because the OP did a reasonable effort to solve th …

You have more than 2000 reputation points. Currently I am the single 3k+ user on the site regularly revisiting the VtC votes, trying to save, what is salvageable. There are some others, too, but they …

Einstein or Bohr? Harvard or MIT? Michelle or Melania? Tesla or Edison? Ubuntu or Fedora? Heisenberg or Schrödinger? Dems or Repubs? Strings or loops? Socialism or Capitalism? Frequency or time? Trum …

No. The set of "all physics knowledge that could be described by any human's symbols" is countable and is a subset of the $\sigma$-field of all possible human's symbols. Therefore, obviously, all the …

i've always liked it! it's pretty. maybe replace it with a more technically accurate feynman diagram? at retina resolution?

As I have said, you're free to copy the comments to your own notes or to a separate web page, or to any other arena where you want to continue the discussion (subject to the Creative Commons license). …

I don't really think we should be answering entrance-exam questions on Physics.SE. However, since the question now has an open bounty on it, I couldn't cast a close vote on it. I think otherwise, I …
