Sentences with phrase «by classical mechanics»

Wazeck describes how relativity sounded the death knell for a culture dominated by classical mechanics, which had been broadly tolerant of amateurs and independent scholars.

To say that you're going to ignore it because it will be wrong in 100 years is like saying you're going to ignore gravity because Newton's classical mechanics was replaced by Einstein's relativity.

By contrast, in «near equilibrium» thermodynamic systems, also known as the linear «Onsager regime,» the physical state tends toward maximum disorder (i.e., minimum negative entropy), while maintaining the temporal symmetry of classical Newtonian mechanics.

In such cases, the distance between the negative and positive muons is treated as a classical variable and the remaining degrees of freedom are described by quantum mechanics.

In quantum mechanics, interactions between particles can give rise to entanglement, which is a strange type of connection that could never be described by a non-quantum, classical theory.

Moreover, the model can be generalized to add another path toward the solution of complex classical computational problems by taking advantage of quantum mechanical parallelism — the fact that, according to quantum mechanics, a system can be in many classical states at the same time.

While the strong sigma or covalent bonds were explained by the new theories of quantum mechanics, hydrogen bonds were seen as nothing more than an electrostatic attraction between charged particles and were explained according the principles of classical physics.

If, after multiple measurements with this experimental setup, scientists found that the measurements of the particles were correlated more than predicted by the laws of classical physics, Kaiser says, then the universe as we see it must be based instead on quantum mechanics.

By combining quantum and classical mechanics, three researchers could model how electrons jump between elements in a molecule, enabling a deeper understanding of reactions and the design of new drugs

Magnetism at the atomic level is driven by quantum mechanics — a fact that has shaken up classical physics calculations and called for increasingly complex, first - principle calculations, or calculations working forward from fundamental physics equations rather than relying on assumptions that reduce computational workload.

It explains the key principles of classical (Newtonian) mechanics in a clear, structured and detailed manner, taking the hand of the reader step - by - step through the basic concepts and math of physics, and then connecting advanced subjects to introductory ones to aid comprehension.

«In 1953 - 1954 he made a seminal contribution to the fundamental problem of classical mechanics, identified fifty years earlier by H. Poincare in his study of the motion of planets around the sun.
