PhysicsFundamentalityCompletenessIn their recent book Every Thing Must Go, Ladyman and Ross claim: (i) Physics is analytically complete since it is the only science that cannot be left incomplete. (ii) There might not be an ontologically fundamental level. (iii) We should not admit anything ...
aOne of the most fundamental concepts in electric circuit analysis is that of charge conservation.We know from basic physics that there are two types of charge:positive (corresponding to a proton),and negative (corresponding to electron).For the most part,this test is concerned with circuits in...
are overwintering sites where, from October to February, travelers can see thousands of butterflies gathering in forests in areas with mild temperatures, dappled (斑驳的) sunlight, high dampness, and little to no wind.

The term physical work is a scalar that links two vector quantities: the force vector and the displacement vector. For example, the force F of an expanding gas moving a piston inside a tube, along a distance D.Answer and Explanati...
critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative(推测性的)theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science(伪科学)at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks “turning fundamental physics into pseudo-scienc...
This problem shift puts proposals for political reform in a dif-ferent light, unifies them, and suggests additional amendments. Even if heads ofstates are benevolent and wise upon ascension, they–following Acton–may becorrupted by their exclusive rights to draft men as soldiers, tax households,...
I thought we were just going to talk about physics. Well that sounds serious and dignified, and even historical, but everybody knows the stakes are high and in its own way it means there is going to be a circus maximus. I think the conference will be interesting, but I doub...

However, in terms of the observable quantities, like spacetime geometry, this distribution turns out to be nontrivially peaked around a particular set of universes. Semiclassically this distribution is given by the EQG density matrix and the saddle-point instantons of the above type [7]. From ...
