AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the definition of "adjacent" in the context of lattice planes in crystallography. The term refers to planes that are next to each other, specifically in a parallel arrangement. The formula for the distance between these planes, d(hkl) = 2pi/|G|, is derived from the reciprocal lattice vectors. Clarification is sought on how to interpret the term "adjacent" in this mathematical context. Understanding this concept is essential for accurately applying the formula in lattice physics.

Homework Statement


By book says prove that the distance between two adjacent parallel planes of a lattice is d(hkl) = 2pi/|G| where g = gb_1 +k b_2 + l b_3 where the b_i are the primitive vectors of the reciprocal lattice.

Could someone clarify exactly what they mean by "adjacent"?

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
