Perhaps pretty much everywhere? Macro structure formation could be intrinsically linked to a field operating on the macro level.
I haven't yet seen a way to derive macro structures from our current quantum laws describing particles, so why would think they are sufficient? I don't believe that...
Sorry, I can't express it much more clearly. To sum it up, it doesn't seem to me that what we know about the quantum mechanical behaviour of large objects is even remotely complete and wonder why most scientists seem to believe that quite firmly.
How do we know macroscopic objects are well...
As I understand it wavefuctions of individual particles are incomplete descriptions of a system because ultimately a wavefunction describes a system and cannot be reduced to individual particles (which would exclude things like entanglement).
So the only way to have a good idea how a system...
OK, so what is wrong with my reasoning?
Can entropy decrease locally even compared to the Big Bang (that is, if we assume the entropy at the Big Bang to be 0, can it become negative locally)?
Thanks for the clarification. So order cannot generally be equated to entopy.
But still it seems to me that there is a relation between formation of structures and entropy. I presume formation of structures needs work to be done and increase of entropy means less capability of doing useful...
Hi everyone.
I'm very interested in how order and structures arises in the universe, but I don't get how thermodynamics (which seem to be closely linked to order, especially the second law) relates to that... So I will ask a few questions. Please don't be too technical, I study computer...
I don't get what this has to do with my question. :confused: Tetration is the hyperoperation with n=4, which is a positve integer. I asked for hyperoperations (or the generalization thereof) where n is not a positive integer.
I have to make a correction, I wrote: "x[n]y should probably be a...
Hi everybody!
I recently came across the hyperoperation sequence which extends the sequence of operations x+y, x*y, x^y to operations x[n]y, which are recursively defined as "the previous operation applied y times on x".
So I asked myself: Can this be generalized to positive rational (or even...
