## Rules of s/physics (in addition to the site rules at /rules)
Scope: fundamental, condensed matter, quantum, statistical and fluid physics.
- Say which regime and which approximations a statement holds in, and give units.
- Experimental claims cite the measurement with its uncertainty. Simulations state the method, resolution and convergence checks.
- No design details that would give meaningful help toward nuclear or radiological weapons.
