Hi. I ask in advance that you forgive me if my questions are poorly made or are irrelevant. Is the next.
1. Words that are frequently applied to parts of theoretical physics. Formulate. To imply. Explain. Are they interchangeable, that is, can any of them replace one of them in a phrase? Or does each mean something different from the other meanings?
In case of being interchangeable, here the questionnaire ends and the rest does not matter. If not, I add the following.
2. Can I say that the standard model implies the discrete distribution of the electric charge? Can I say that the model formulates it? Can I also say that the model explains it?
P.S. : Usually, I reserve the word explain for cases that allow to ask why and respond with sufficiently evident reasons. Example: explain that a car tire and a straight tube of square section are topologically identical. But science is not based on my habits.
