Insofar as advocates of quintessence rely on the analogy with inflation, we’d like to pour a little cold water on it. The (inflation-less) Hot Big Bang model’s fine-tuning problems require a judicious choice of initial conditions: uniformity in the distribution of matter, a spatially flat...

Thus, the uniformity of the velocity field over the core extent tests whether the frozen-core approximation1 is valid. For active nematics and solid crystals, the velocity formula is shown to track the dynamics of defect dipoles, during, and after the nucleation of topological defects, pointing...
Synechism endorses the simplicity and uniformity of laws in the development of the mind and facilitates frontier research grounded in the continuum of matter, including natural and artificial life and the transfer of ideas from human-centric fields to other disciplines (e.g., natural to ...
Formal rules and requirements are required to ensure uniformity, so that employees know exactly what is expected of them. In this sense, the rules and requirements can be considered predictable. All administrative processes are defined in the official rules. By enforcing strict rules, the organisatio...
