  Decision problems in physics have been an active field of research for quite
a few decades resulting in some interesting findings in recent years. However,
such research investigations are based on a priori knowledge of theoretical
computer science and the technical jargon of set theory. Here, I discuss a
particular, but a significant, instance of how decision problems in physics can
be realized without such specific prerequisites. I expose a hitherto unnoticed
contradiction, that can be posed as a decision problem, concerning the oil drop
experiment and thereby resolve it by refining the notion of ``existence'' in
physics. This consequently leads to the undecidability of the charge spectral
gap through the notion of ``undecidable charges" which is in tandem with the
completeness condition of a theory as was stated by Einstein, Podolsky and
Rosen in their seminal work. Decision problems can now be realized in
connection to basic physics, in general, rather than quantum physics, in
particular, as per some recent claims.
