vexperiment
Vexperiment is a term that describes a hypothetical or theoretical experiment designed to test a particular concept or idea, often in a way that is impractical or impossible to perform in reality. The name itself is a portmanteau of "vexing" and "experiment," suggesting a frustrating or perplexing nature due to its theoretical limitations. Vexperiments are typically used in thought experiments, philosophical discussions, or theoretical physics to explore the logical consequences of a hypothesis without the need for physical realization.
These conceptual explorations allow researchers and thinkers to probe the boundaries of current knowledge and understanding.
