    Would a Universe be considered part of the standard model?

    From my basic understanding of the standard model it tries to identify the different kinds of particles, understand their functions and their subsequent sub atomic particles. But as particles and forces break down into smaller components, do they also build up into bigger components? For...

    Standard enthelpy of formation of carbon gas

    Hi, The standard enthalpy of formation of carbon gas or C(g) is the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of carbon gas from its elements in their reference form which for carbon (I believe) is C(graphite). Now I find the following standard enthalpy of formation for carbon gas / C(g)...

    MHB How Can You Prove Standard Limits Without Using L'Hopital's Rule?

    I have a few questions for my homework assignments for solving limits, but in order to do those questions I have to use a few standard limits that we haven't been taught, which means I'll have to prove them. I know these can be done using L'Hopital's rule, but we haven't covered that yet so I...

    Why won't standard curve length function work in semi-circle?

    Ok, so for a give function f(x) it's curve length from a to b is supposed to be ∫(1+(f '(x))^2)dx evaluated from a to b. However even wolfram alpha had a hard time solving that, plus the results were wrong. What am I missing? PS: With f(x)= sqrt(r^2-x^2)

    Importance of a standard candle?

    So I'm a little confused about what a standard candle tells us exactly. From what I understand, it means that the luminosity is relatively constant.
