Sentences with phrase «simple physics takes»

At this point, very simple physics takes over, and you are pretty much doomed, by what scientists refer to as the «radiative» properties of carbon dioxide molecules (which trap infrared heat radiation that would otherwise escape to space), to have a warming planet.

Not exact matches

Agreed, the general public is unaware and ignorant of the vast amount of literature that is available under the section «Physics» on the bookshelf, it is rather juvenile to ask for «proof» (as if it is a single, simple mathematical formula that takes half a page to work out) while we have our head stuck under a boulder.

The trick is to describe the simplest actual entities, the generic actual occasions, so that (a) the laws of physics are an exemplification of their primitive form of «taking into account,» and yet (b) in their stark simplicity they contain the potentiality of the sort of progressive complexification which corresponds to the increasingly sophisticated forms of «taking into account» which we find as we ascend back up the scale of organic being, as we trace the upward path of evolution.

As I take it, the basic particles of physics are, or are among, Griffin's «simple individuals,» and each of them has some sort of proto - mentality, which endows it with «spontaneity» and «creativity.»

Take away the esoteric physics language, and Mersini - Houghton's theory boils down to a simple, startling idea: The oddities in the Planck maps are like cosmic belly buttons that trace an ancient umbilical connection between our universe and other universes that have grown up and gone their separate ways.

«There's nothing simpler in basketball, because you can take all the time you want to make it, and there's nobody waving their arms in front of you trying to block you,» says Peter Brancazio, a physics professor emeritus from Brooklyn College and author of SportsScience: Physical Laws and Optimum Performance.

Moffat chronicles centuries of steps and missteps taken to shore up an imperfect framework of physics and offers a simpler alternative, sans dark matter and even black holes.

«There's nothing simpler in basketball, because you can take all the time you want to make it, and there's nobody waving his arms in front of you trying to block you,» says Peter Brancazio, a physics professor emeritus from Brooklyn College and author of SportsScience: Physical Laws and Optimum Performance.

Speaking about puzzles, the team got pretty creative with Obduction's puzzles, including a nice variety ranging from simple physics based puzzles to others that take advantage of unique mechanics such as teleportation.

It's the code that takes care of the seemingly simple stuff that's universal to most games, like interpreting controller inputs, pulling up the appropriate graphics and sound, and modeling the physics.

The reason is simple — if you take the laws of physics as we best understand them, it gives the wrong answer for you.

It is my own position, except that the «strength» of the isothermal argument is so much greater than that of a temperature lapse — given that it straight up violates the second law of thermodynamics — that the default position of any real scientist should be roughly the same as it is whenever somebody proposes a perpetual motion machine, or that they can negate gravity by means of a simple electronic device they built in their basement, or have worked out the One True Theory of Everything in their spare time, in spite of the fact that they never actually took calculus or physics in college (or may not have attended college).

BH: Some of them are talking about climate sensitivity at 1.2 C, at 1.5 C. I think this is completely implausible because the basic energetics of the climate system responding to the additional greenhouse gas emissions almost from simple physics, has to be at least 1.2 C and possibly more before you begin to take into account any of the feedbacks in the system from water vapour in clouds and so on.

It took me close to seventeen months of sifting through the physics and it ends up being mainly simple geometry.

Tom Murphy from «Do The Math» blog has a great little video titled «Growth Has An Expiration Date» the math and the basic physics behind it are really simple, it doesn't take a PhD in advanced mathematics or physics to understand it.

Take a few laws of physics, add a soupcon of well - known and well - validated equations applicable to simple and sometimes theoretical situations; stir in judicious amounts of SWAG (GCMs perhaps being the most egregious example); then have at interpreting mostly manipulated empirical data in light of that.
