![]() In the 1980s, Tsallis drew up a new set of statistical parameters to generalise Boltzmann’s formula, resulting in a new branch of statistics for the specific case of entropy. In their research, Dr Biró and colleagues have proposed a new way of looking at the problem, based on the earlier work of Brazilian physicist Constantino Tsallis. ![]() Yet the process of ‘hadronization’ throws up a problem for physicists: since hadrons appear to be far more ordered than a quark-gluon plasma, how could the overall entropy of the universe have increased? However, these particles ultimately cannot exist by themselves within octillionths of a second after the Big Bang, they grouped together to form stable structures named hadrons – made from three quarks bound together by gluons. ![]() In the dynamic first moments of the universe, fundamental particles known as quarks and gluons existed as freely-flowing elements of a gas-like soup, or plasma. The problems they have analysed so far range from fundamental questions of particle physics to patterns of interaction on social media. “What are the more general dynamical processes which make it unavoidable to use Boltzmann’s logarithm?” Through several studies, the researchers have used real-world examples of entropy changes to study how Boltzmann’s logarithm can be generalised in this way. “Our research couples to the novel efforts to generalize Boltzmann’s original formula, containing the logarithm – a neat function mapping products to sums,” says Dr Biró. In their research, the researchers aim to generalize Boltzmann’s simple equation identifying mathematical relationships which build up to the overall logarithmic relationship.Īll microscopic changes in a complicated closed system conspire in a way that the total entropy never decreases. Yet although the formula is so effective in mathematically predicting changes in entropy, Dr Biró and colleagues believe it cannot completely account for the more complex physical processes which underlay it. He proposed that its value simply has a logarithmic relationship with the number of possible states a system can have under its current conditions. In the 1870s, Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann was able to reduce the quantity of entropy down to a remarkably simple, elegant formula. However, in their research, Dr Biró and his colleagues now want to take the theory a step further. All random, or ‘stochastic’ models are now checked for satisfying such a theorem, accounting for random forces in their calculations.” Even after centuries of scrutiny, these mathematical descriptions have proved time and again to robustly describe real physical systems. “They can be viewed as given mathematical formulae based on the probability of being in a given state. “Kinetic theory and its follower, statistical physics, depend on our knowledge about entropy,” Dr Biró continues. To quantify entropy, physicists ultimately need to use statistics to study how particles move around into different arrangements over time. All microscopic changes in a complicated closed system conspire in a way that the total entropy never decreases.” “Many processes in nature end up only in some selected states while they may begin in any of a vastly larger amount of possible states. “Macroscopically, entropy has proved never to decrease spontaneously an idea related to the ‘arrow of time’, or irreversibility,” he explains. ![]() The law states that in any system closed off from the outside, entropy must not decrease over time as such, the universe becomes more chaotic as a whole.Īs Dr Biró describes, this inevitable increase in entropy represents a decrease in the number of possible leftover arrangements of particles, or ‘states’, that a system can find itself in as the one-way passage of time progresses. The changes in entropy which take place during physical processes form the basis of one of the most fundamental laws of physics: The Second Law of Thermodynamics. Since the 19th century, physicists have described this chaos using a quantity known as ‘entropy’. While atoms within metals are arranged in neat, highly ordered lattices, the movements of gas molecules in the air are far more chaotic and unpredictable. Through constructing ‘master equations’ to describe these relationships, Biró and his colleagues are using statistics to study problems as diverse as the formation of hadrons, changes in biodiversity, and patterns in popularity on Facebook.Įvery system around us has a different degree of chaos associated with it. Yet however elegant, Tamás Biró at the Hungarian Academy of Science believes the formula is hiding a more complex array of relationships. Entropy is one of the most important and most widely studied quantities in physics, and for centuries, its value has been robustly described using simple mathematical relationships. ![]()

Texturally these ones are awful, being the driest and most rubbery of all the nuggets and quasi-nuggets we sampled. The more I look at them, the more convinced I become that they’re actually the chain’s chicken tenders, just cut into pieces, which does them no favors. They arrive from your carhop as big, irregular pieces that look either like multiple pieces of popcorn chicken fused together, or chunks or chicken tenders that have been chopped up at random. “Jumbo popcorn chicken” is an amusing oxymoron, given that taking popcorn chicken and making them “jumbo” would seemingly just produce “chicken nuggets,” but whatever you want to call these guys they’re pretty terrible. You take one bite and then wish you had better nuggets. It ultimately makes them the least interesting nugget to eat of the whole bunch, because there’s no crunch, no real meat, and nothing to engage your interest. A 90-year-old with no teeth would have no trouble gumming these down. It is so soft and spongy, it becomes the absolute pablum of chicken nuggets. The flavor actually isn’t terrible, as the nugget is decently seasoned on the exterior, but there’s just nothing going on inside. Many nuggets favor a similarly spongy texture, including the progenitor McNuggets, but never is it so insipid and artificial seeming as it is here. The breading is a fairly plain, salt-and-black-pepper affair, but the spongy interior dominates one’s attention. These nuggets are uniquely soft and flabby-the polar opposite of crispy-with a texture that feels like it was rendered via gentle cooking for hours under the twinkling lightbulb of an Easy Bake Oven. Of course this is all extremely appropriate for BK, who we have long labeled the saddest chain in fast food by far. ![]() Even if they made them free with every purchase, we’d still pitch them out. It is telling that Burger King routinely runs promotions where they give these things away at the rate of 10 for $1, and evidence of just how few people must want to eat them. ![]() Here are the actual best fast food chicken nuggets, as determined by Paste’s tasting, ranked from worst to best. Along the way we suffered through some bad nuggets, and confirmed a few that are classics of the genre. To that end, we rounded up every major fast food chain’s chicken nuggets that were available to us, and did a proper tasting, weighing the pros and cons of each. Given that the arrival of Popeyes’ new nuggets will no doubt reignite feverish internet debate on whose fast food chicken is best, we thought this was the perfect time to truly get empirical in terms of providing an answer. Others such as KFC have blurred the lines over the years with “popcorn” chicken, which is close enough that you almost have to lump it in with the true “nuggets” of the world. Many chicken chains, such as Zaxby’s or Raising Cane’s, don’t actually serve nuggets at all, instead focusing entirely on bone-in chicken or tenders. “Didn’t Popeyes already have nuggets?” you may be understandably asking, but the answer is no-true “nuggets” are actually not quite as common as you might expect. Building off the success and hype of its insanely popular chicken sandwich, which sparked the phenomenon now fondly recalled as the “chicken sandwich wars” back in 2019, the company made the next logical step-double down on hype with a new breed of nuggets. After a confounding waiting period, Popeyes has finally unleashed its new chicken nuggets on the U.S., promising a fast food poultry landscape that will never be the same again. ![]() ![]() You will still transport the young boy from the apartment closet to the rooftop across the street.

It could be that you press two “conductive pads” together to perform a shift, one on a fingertip and one on the thumb. That’s how SRAM’s current eTap systems work with standard levers (or Blip satellite shifters). It could be that “a right-hand actuator would cause a shift of the rear derailleur in one direction, a left-hand actuator would cause a shift of the rear derailleur in the other direction and activating both actuators simultaneously would toggle the front derailleur to the other of its current inboard or outboard position.” Compression of the tips of the fingers rather than the pads andĥ.

The same is happening with Eleven as she’s exploring her own past. The nostalgia it induces is instantaneous when we see Eleven or Nancy or even Billy rocking their 80s styles with confidence. elevenxmaxelmaxstrangerthingsmaxmayfieldelxmaxmaxelevenwillbyersmikewheelermaxinejanedustindustinhendersonlucassinclairelevenhoppermaxinemayfieldlucasmike. Eleven has psychokinetic and telepathic abilities, and is considered the breakout. She is primarily portrayed by British actress Millie Bobby Brown. Max has to come to terms with her own pain, and she’s forced into doing so, but she then begins to open up and starts to unpack what happened to her, and it seems to be healing for her. Stranger Things has an incredible way of taking us back in time to the 1980s with its music, pop culture references, and yes, the fashion choices for the characters. Eleven (birth name Jane Ives) is a fictional character and the main character of the Netflix science fiction horror drama series Stranger Things, written and produced by the Duffer Brothers. What’s great about season 4 is that seeing how both of these characters are unpacking their grief, we can see how they change as the season goes on. It then manifests itself in her causing harm to her school bully, showing Mike just how much she’s been lying about everything, and second-guessing the relationships in her life that she still has.Īnd I think all of that stems from the loss of Hopper and her not unpacking it and just leaving with the Byerses to go to California. Max’s arc in Stranger Things 4 reveals one of the show’s greatest strengths (and weaknesses) She should have more than just Kate Bush to comfort her in the new Stranger Things season By. But unlike Max, she’s hiding that pain in a lie and acting like she’s fine. She lies to Mike in her letters, pretending like she has plenty of friends and is doing fine, and even Will can’t help her because she’s not opening up to anyone.

Lawmakers have pressed the Department of Defense on the sightings, describing them as potential national security threats. ![]() Kirkpatrick emphasized there was no evidence of extraterrestrial life and that his office found “no credible evidence” of objects that defy the known laws of physics. In April, Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which Congress created to focus on UAPs, told a Senate subcommittee the US government was tracking 650 potential cases of unidentified aerial phenomena, playing video from two of the episodes. No government officials testified at Wednesday’s hearing. We’re going to uncover the cover up, and I hope this is just the beginning of many more hearings.” “We’re not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing. Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican who pushed to hold Wednesday’s hearing. “This is an issue of government transparency,” said Rep. The hearing is the latest push by lawmakers, intelligence officials and military personnel working on unexplained aerial phenomena to probe the issue on a national platform. “The technology that we faced was far superior than anything that we had,” Fravor said of the episode he witnessed in 2004, when asked why UAPs are a national security threat. David Grusch, a former Air Force intelligence officer, alleged that the government has covered up its research into the unidentified sightings and said he reported information to the intelligence community inspector general. Graves and David Fravor, a retired US Navy commander, both testified about their own sightings of UAPs while they were serving in the military. Some of them still have not been explained, while others have been attributed to “balloon or balloon-entities,” as well as drones, birds, weather events or airborne debris like plastic bags. The government characterizes the unexplained sightings as UAPs and has released reports on the cases in recent years. In either case, unidentified objects are a concern for flight safety,” said Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot who now runs Americans for Safe Aerospace, a group he founded to encourage pilots to report incidents of UAPs. If it is something else, it is an issue for science. “If UAP are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem. Three retired military veterans testified Wednesday at a House hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena – commonly known as UFOs – warning that the sightings are a national security problem and that the government has been too secretive about them.Ī House Oversight subcommittee convened Wednesday’s hearing on UFOs, as the lawmakers who pushed for the hearing are calling for the government to be more forthcoming about the unidentified anomalous phenomena. ![]() ![]() ![]() Click on one of the corners of the image you want to resize.Open the project that you want to edit.To change the dimensions of an image in Canva on your Mac, follow the steps below: We will show you how to do it across different devices.
