    What about 2nd law of thermodynamics in Cyclic Universe Model?

    Not everyone likes the idea of Universe ​​created from a point singularity, so recently grows in popularity the cyclic model - that our Universe will finally collapse and use obtained momentum to bounce (so-called Big Bounce) and become the new Big Bang. One might criticize that we "know" that...

    What is wrong with eternal inflation model?

    I was thinking that "eternal inflation" model deals nicely with the problem of the beginning of the universe. If I understand this model correctly, Multiverse is a boiling bulk of some sort of very dense vacuum, creating inflationary "bubbles" (baby Universes), finite from the outside but...

    Clothes Dryer Modeling: Mass & Heat Transfer

    The other day I started what I thought would be an easy project of modeling what happens in a clothes dryer but I quickly realized I have no idea what equations to use for mass and heat transfer between the inlet air and the clothes in the dryer. I'm assuming they both depend on the reynolds...

    Hello people, I'm working on a research project involving the modelling of a black body's radiation spectrum, and near the limits of the spectrometer, the intensity goes to zero rather sharply. I cannot directly say it is error from the spectrometer, because I simply don't know. However, I...

    Doubts on 2D and 3D Ising Model

    Considering d=2 or d=3, the Ising model exhibits a second order phase transition at the critical temperature T_c, where the system goes from an ordered phase (spins preferably aligned in a certain direction) to a disordered one. This is reflected by the behaviour of the susceptibility, similar...

    Quark Model Spectroscopic Notation

    I'm a little confused about what is actually meant by the JP = 1/2 + octet. I'm pretty sure it means the particles must have spin 1/2 in the ground state (l=0) and an even parity but what I'm confused over is the absence of an sss, uuu or ddd state. I understand that this would give I3 = 3/2...

    Deviation from Standard Model observed at LHCb (B->K* mu mu)

    As usual, the interpretation is still unclear, but I think it is an interesting effect. LHCb studied the angular distributions in the decay ##B^0 \to K* \mu \mu## and presented the result at EPS2013. In one variable (called P'5) in two bins, a large deviation was found (3.7 sigma in one bin)...

    Bohr Model: Energy Jump in Hydrogen Atom

    Am I right in saying that in a Hydrogen atom when an electron jumps from the second orbit to the first one the energy change is more than any other possible jump (when the jump is not to the first orbit). The calculations seem to support me but it doesn't feel right.
