Hi,
It might seem like an odd and rather naive question, but I still have
to ask it.

When describing motion of particles at the LHC do researchers still
use calculus or related methods? Is it still possible to accurately
calculate the momentum and position of a particle, Also, at that
level, or even at smaller levels, say even below Planck length. And I
mean "calculate it accurately", and not "measure it accurately". I am
aware that there are limits on measuring momentum and position. I'd be
very thankful for a reply.

Cheers

I highly recommend the forum for your question..

Most people on the email reflector have moved over to the forum and chat.

We didn't have a lot of technical people on this email reflector anyway..
