The term Big Data refers to the extraction, manipulation and analysis of data sets that are too large to be routinely processed. Because of this, special software is used and, in many cases, also dedicated computers and hardware. Generally, for … Read More
Statistical equilibrium can only be established if there is exchange of energy between the resonators, otherwise each resonator would retain its initial energy, which is arbitrary, indefinitely, and the final distribution would obey no law. This exchange could not be … Read More
From my hole, I had followed this scene, not without a secret satisfaction to see this misadventure melt on a persecutor of the little birds; but this first movement of vengeance passed, I began to think and realized that my … Read More
The explanation of these phenomena must be sought without making a clean sweep of the principles of Thermodynamics; above all, we must admit the possibility of statistical equilibrium, otherwise nothing would remain of Carnot’s principle; we cannot admit, in Thermodynamics, … Read More
Gravity has a universal character, but its strength rapidly decreases with distance, being the weakest of the four fundamental forces of physics[1]. In the 4th century BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle considered as the cause of the fall of heavy … Read More
No animal, no being and no creature Who does not have its opposite: it is the law of nature. To look for the reason, they are superfluous care. God did well what he did, and I do not know more … Read More
Physicists did not at first concern themselves with these difficulties, but two new facts changed the face of things; the first is what is called the law of black radiation. A perfectly black body is one whose absorption coefficient is … Read More
Surrounding wheat mature before sapling Was still strong enough To fly and take flight, A thousand different cares the agitated lark Go for pasture, warn his children To always be on the look-out and to be sentinel … (La Fontaine) … Read More
Let us go back to the kinetic theory of gases; the gases are formed of molecules which circulate in all directions with great velocities; their trajectories would be rectilinear if from time to time they did not collide each other, … Read More
One wonders if Mechanics is not on the eve of a new upheaval; recently a meeting was held at Brussels, attended by some twenty physicists of various nationalities, and at each moment they might have been heard to speak of … Read More
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to expose some ideas about the logic of the infinite; on the use of the infinite in Mathematics, on the use made of it since Cantor; I explained why I did not … Read More
