Rereading Ludwig Boltzmann
Ludwig Boltzmann is one of the first physicists who brought probability and statistical considerations into physics. Particularly famous is his statistical explanation of the second law of thermodynamics. However, Boltzmann’s ideas on the relationship between the thermodynamical properties of macroscopic bodies and their microscopic mechanical constitution, and the role of probability in this r...
متن کاملEpiphany or magi?
The season of the Nobel awards and the ensuing ceremonials is upon us. As the current laureates prepare to graciously stand in line before the crowned heads of Sweden and Norway, it’s an appropriate moment to reflect on what the prize has come to mean, and whether it still serves a useful purpose in today’s world. Although the Nobel Prizes are held in high esteem by the general public the world...
متن کاملRereading Einstein on Radiation
Albert Einstein tinha um talento genial para extrair teoria revolucionária de simples considerações: do postulado de uma velocidade universal, ele criou a relatividade especial; do prinćıpio da equivalência, ele criou a relatividade geral; de argumentos elementares baseados em estat́ıstica, ele descobriu os quanta de energia. Seu artigo de 1905 sobre a quantização do campo de radiação (frequente...
متن کاملDisturbing Vortices
Inviscid spatially compact vortices (such as the Rankine vortex) have discrete Kelvin modes. For these modes, the critical radius, at which the rotation frequency of the wave matches the angular velocity of the fluid, lies outside the vortex core. When such a vortex is not perfectly compact, but has a weak vorticity distribution beyond the core, these Kelvin disturbances are singular at the cri...
متن کاملMetabolic Control Analysis: Rereading Reder
Metabolic control analysis is a biochemical formalism defined by Kacser and Burns in 1973, and given firm mathematical basis by Reder in 1988. The algorithm defined by Reder for calculating the control matrices is still used by software programs today, but is only valid for some biochemical models. We show that, with slight modification, the algorithm may be applied to all models.
