Sentences with phrase «slightly out of equilibrium»

It is indeed a wonder how a complex system, like the human body, works to create such a fine equilibrium, and that when the system goes even slightly out of equilibrium, it spells trouble.

And does this mean that because climate has changed slowly in the past, before human industrialisation, slow changes corresponding to the climate being slightly out of equilibrium, that the speed of future climate change and the extent of the disequilibrium can be ignored?

Not exact matches

-- only energy balance matters (here comes the school of people saying that the system is trivially simple because it exchanges energy only by radiation)-- only «equilibrium» matters (here comes the school of people who compare the system to a small ball slightly moved away from its equilibrium position inside a spherical bowl)-- space doesn't matter (this is a tautology because if a 3D system can be reduced to 1D and still predicted, then the «neglected» 2 D obviously didn't matter)-- from the above follows also necessarily that everything that happens in the real 3D world can only be noise (here comes the school of people who say that everything averages out)
