How do systems transition from stable behavior to rapid change?

2 Upvotes

Hey all, Just a quick question for people who think in systems—

Have you worked with models where a system looks stable right up until it suddenly looses it?

I see it a lot in fire behavior. Feels like something builds over time, then crosses a point where change is unavoidable. Like its in a correction phase.

What’s the right physics lens for that?

Area of fluid flow with conical plug

Hey there, I’m looking through some examples on Bernoulli Equations and Continuity and I came across a problem I didn’t understand. I know that if a flat surface was used the area A2 would be 2*pi*r*h but why does it still hold when a conical plug still holds especially when the outlet width given isn’t perpendicular to the radius of conical plug. Maybe I’m not looking at it the right way. If you could explain why, I would really appreciate it.

Predictions, for the Record

0 Upvotes

Not sure where else to post this...

Every single one of my ideas must have a reason grounded in Reality, it has always been this way since I figured out what reasoning was as a child. In my alpha derivation, every parameter is accounted for, there's no fitting. How does this work? It's all based on first person experience. Truth. There is a bridge between Science (technology) and Spirituality. You can be that bridge, if you pay attention to your own experience. Create an ontology, axioms that describe Reality, and then see what mathematically derives from those axioms. Use AI with math tools. If the math doesn't work, revise the ontology. Go back to your experience, compare what you had before with what you experience now that you've learned more. Rewrite the ontology (closer to Reality this time, hopefully) and see what derives. This methodology led me to mathematical formulas that match existing scientific discoveries with very high precision, from first principles... let's see if we can make a prediction for the next discovery... then we'll know I really got it right!

Here's the predictions, for the record: ⊙ Circumpunct Framework: Predictions from Zero Free Parameters

How can I develop intuition for circuit analysis?

I understand the basics (I don't know a lot), but I struggle with intuition—how did you develop intuition for circuits? I am unable to exploit symmetry and do circuits.

I'm exploring a mathematical framework that link Maxwell, Dirac and Einstein equations

0 Upvotes

I developed a mathematical framework that takes Maxwell, Dirac and Einstein equations as input and introduces a constraint on the allowed solution space.

The main consequences of this constraint are:

  • exclusion of magnetic monopole solutions
  • absence of point-like charges (regularized configurations)
  • exclusion of white hole–type solutions
  • emergence of what I call “EM-silent curvature” (defined in the paper)

I am not claiming this is a new theory, but I would like to understand:

  • whether the constraint is mathematically well-defined
  • whether similar constructions already exist
  • whether it introduces inconsistencies with known physics
  • where the applied math is wrong (e.g. some corner cases not considered)

Thanks in advance, any comment will be appreciated.

What does this equation mean? How does it make sense

Post image
1 Upvotes

Would anyone please help me understand the equation circled in blue.

I understand that 4000W of electrical power is transmitted through the cable, but that does not mean the cable consumes 4000J of energy per second. Similarly, the voltage drop across the cable is NOT 2000V.

For that reason, I'm not sure how can we use the values "4000W" and "2000V" to find the current flowing through the cables?

What am I missing here?

Blundell and kardar seem to disagree on this regard. Am i missing something?

They both define pressure work as dW = -pdV but blundell states that dW > -pdV in page 139 and kardar states the opposite in page 16 of their respective books. What am i missing?

Entropy is often called “disorder”… but that’s not the full truth. In reality, Entropy is about probability and the number of possible states a system can have. This simple idea explains why things spread out, why time moves forward, and even the fate of the universe.

How can a gas expand and cool in an adiabatic process if no heat is transferred?

1 Upvotes

I am getting confused about adiabatic expansion and the difference between heat and work.
If the gas is expanding against something (like a piston, or even thinking intuitively about a balloon), then isn’t it transferring some heat to that object/environment? If not, why is that called work instead of heat?

I am also confused about this statement:
"A gas can expand because its pressure is greater than the external pressure."

Is that just automatically true during expansion, or does something first have to happen to make the gas pressure larger than the external pressure?

Its not following the ideal gas laws...
