Nov 3	comment	Is there a difference between a postulate and a principle in physics? I'd add that I think it would be interesting that these facts were more emphasized on physics courses. Maybe professors do not feel comfortable talking about it or have weak arguments to deal with comparisons between concepts.

Sep 9	comment	Is there a difference between a postulate and a principle in physics? By this 'freedom' it seems to me that there is no critter. Even if it is the case that the 'classification' intrinsically allows flexibility (like, 3 statements on some subject, if two are taken as postulates the other could be derived from them as a 'law', so it doesn't matter which pair is a postulate, but at least a pair is a postulate) this condition and all statements should be recognized as such. I expected at least that a 'principle' was a principle - something which comes before the rest. A complete list of what is assumed, what is deduced and what is observed is probably what I want.
