8226 | A well-posed problem is a problem solved [Bergson, by Deleuze/Guattari] |
21846 | Bergson was a rallying point, because he emphasised becomings and multiplicities [Bergson, by Deleuze] |
15642 | If kinds depend only on what can be observed, many underlying essences might produce the same kind [Eagle] |
15645 | Nominal essence are the observable properties of things [Eagle] |
15643 | Nominal essence mistakenly gives equal weight to all underlying properties that produce appearances [Eagle] |
21854 | Bergson showed that memory is not after the event, but coexists with it [Bergson, by Deleuze] |
22100 | Experienced time means no two mental moments are ever alike [Bergson] |
15641 | Kinds are fixed by the essential properties of things - the properties that make it that kind of thing [Eagle] |
20624 | Work degrades into heat, but not vice versa [Close] |
20623 | First Law: energy can change form, but is conserved overall [Close] |
20625 | Third Law: total order and minimum entropy only occurs at absolute zero [Close] |
20622 | All motions are relative and ambiguous, but acceleration is the same in all inertial frames [Close] |
20628 | The electric and magnetic are tightly linked, and viewed according to your own motion [Close] |
20635 | The general relativity equations relate curvature in space-time to density of energy-momentum [Close] |
20627 | Electric fields have four basic laws (two by Gauss, one by Ampère, one by Faraday) [Close] |
20630 | Light isn't just emitted in quanta called photons - light is photons [Close] |
20637 | In general relativity the energy and momentum of photons subjects them to gravity [Close] |
20629 | Electro-magnetic waves travel at light speed - so light is electromagnetism! [Close] |
20632 | In QED, electro-magnetism exists in quantum states, emitting and absorbing electrons [Close] |
20642 | Photon exchange drives the electro-magnetic force [Close] |
20639 | Quantum fields contain continual rapid creation and disappearance [Close] |
20631 | Dirac showed how electrons conform to special relativity [Close] |
20641 | Electrons get their mass by interaction with the Higgs field [Close] |
20626 | Modern theories of matter are grounded in heat, work and energy [Close] |
20633 | The Higgs field is an electroweak plasma - but we don't know what stuff it consists of [Close] |
20640 | Space-time is indeterminate foam over short distances [Close] |
