Abstract

In physics, whenever we cannot do an experiment for physical, technological, financial or ethical reasons, we use "thought experiment". In this letter we will prove that sometimes a thought experiment may lead us to the wrong results and we will prove that to achieve the correct results, an experiment must be done in the real world.
