Microscopic Irreversibility
First, I will recount the substance of several important conversations I had with Ilya Prigogine over the years. There is no doubt in my mind that Professor Prigogine firmly believed in the underlying stochasticity of the universe. Second, I will summarize my curiosity about the principle of detailed balance. In my opinion, so far it has always been put in by hand. Third, I will advance my own ...
متن کاملMicroscopic irreversibility and chaos
© 2006 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0608-210-X The origin of irreversible behavior is a persistent theme in physics. Since the fundamental microscopic laws, including both Newton’s laws and quantum mechanics, are reversible (except for the weak interactions), the fact that most macroscopic systems behave irreversibly has long been recognized as an important issue. The problem of u...
متن کاملA Derivation of a Microscopic Entropy and Time Irreversibility From the Discreteness of Time
The basic microsopic physical laws are time reversible. In contrast, the second law of thermodynamics, which is a macroscopic physical representation of the world, is able to describe irreversible processes in an isolated system through the change of entropy 4S > 0. It is the attempt of the present manuscript to bridge the microscopic physical world with its macrosocpic one with an alternative ...
متن کاملTowards a microscopic description of nuclear reactions
Low-energy nuclear reactions play an important role in many astrophysical scenarios. In many cases experimental data are not available at the energies important for the astrophysical processes. From the theory perspective such reactions have been investigated mainly with cluster models [1]. These models suffer from very simplified effective interactions and rather restricted model spaces for th...
متن کاملA microscopic description and ultrastructural characterization
1 2 Dientamoeba fragilis is a pathogenic trichomonad found in the gastrointestinal tract of 3 humans and is implicated as a cause of diarrhoea. Despite its discovery over a century 4 ago, there has been no recent thorough description of this parasite by microscopy. 5 SEM, TEM, confocal and light microscopy were therefore used to characterize D. fragilis 6 populations growing in xenic culture. T...
