Using Globular Clusters to Test Newtons Law of Gravity
New measurements of the velocity dispersion of the globular cluster ω Centauri allow to trace its gravitational potential down to an acceleration of 8 × 10 cm s. It is found that the dispersion profile remains flat well inside the tidal radius as soon as the acceleration of gravity approaches a0, a result that finds its simplest explanation within the contest of MOND. A similar behavior is obse...
متن کاملParé's law: the second law of toxicology.
There are three so-called laws that underlie the science of toxicology. Paracelsus is usually considered to be the father of toxicology, having formulated the first law, which states that the dose makes the poison. The second law concerns the specificity of toxic effects of individual chemicals, a specificity due to the unique chemical structure of the agent and the laws of biology that govern ...
متن کاملI.D The Second Law
The historical development of thermodynamics follows the industrial revolution in the 19 century, and the advent of heat engines. It is interesting to see how such practical considerations as the efficiency of engines can lead to abstract ideas like entropy. An idealized heat engine works by taking in a certain amount of heat QH , from a heat source (for example a coal fire), converting a porti...
متن کاملThe Second Law Mystique
Over fifty years ago Arthur Eddington wrote [1]: " The second law of thermodynamics holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations – then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation, well, these experimentalists do bungle t...
متن کاملA second look at the second law
It is commonly argued that the spectacular increase in order which has occurred on Earth does not violate the second law of thermodynamics because the Earth is an open system, and anything can happen in an open system as long as the entropy increases outside the system compensate the entropy decreases inside the system. However, if we define ‘‘X-entropy’’ to be the entropy associated with any d...
