LIMITS. “Now, to claim that kinetic energy and its properties are defined or governed by the classic thermodynamic model of temperature would be misleading.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

GIANT GRADIENTS. “That precise conservation gives rise to the existence of steady-state linear gradients on the large scale, and the expectation value of the kinetic energy (per particle) connects to temperature through the Boltzmann constant, e.g. with ⟨Ek ⟩ = 32 kB T in the kinetic theory of gases.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

Our 5% of the universe. Never, ever, forget this. And we have NO CLUE what the 95% of everything is. " " https://lnkd.in/gjCwf2vN View in LinkedIn

CONSERVATION LAW. “For temperature, these small scale entities are kinetic energy and particle collisions, at which the sum of the energy is conserved.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

SNARK. “They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;" "They pursued it with forks and hope;" "They threatened its life with a railway-share;" "They charmed it with smiles and soap.”" "(Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark), https://lnkd.in/gkXbF95p View in LinkedIn

THE SHADOW CAST. “Observations of nearby spiral galaxies have revealed a regular large scale pattern that follows the spiral arms. However these observations are 2D projections of a 3D field, of which the exact topology remains a mystery.” https://lnkd.in/gTA_aVgT View in LinkedIn

SAVANT SYNDROME. “Daniel first became famous when he recited from memory Pi to 22,514 decimal places. Numbers, according to Daniel, are special to him. He has a rare form of synesthesia and sees each integer up to 10,000 as having their own unique shapes, color, texture and feel. He can "see" the result of a math calculation, and he can "sense" whether a number is prime. Daniel speaks 11 languages, one of which is Icelandic.” https://lnkd.in/gfQFZ2jD View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first weekend on the fascinating theme of magnetism, which stretches from within the atom to across vast galaxies. This all-pervasive ether is the liquid that the cosmos is bathed in, the primal sea, perhaps even the maternal fluid of matter. It seems to have unlimited reach and influence, but our understanding of it is at best rudimentary. View in LinkedIn
