Physics Word Association Game

[Fernanda]

Lets play a word association game. Only rule is, you can only use Physics words.

I\'ll start:

Atom

[Tal]

Atom -> Bohr

T.

[Yevgeny Kats]

Great! We will travel through the whole phase space of physics and we can check whether ergodicity works.

[keebler_giant]

Bohr -> Discrete energy levels?

[Xerxes314]

discrete energy levels --> mass gap

[Sir_Zerp]

mass gap --> discrete space

[keebler_giant]

Discrete space -> LQG

[Fernanda]

LQG ---> QM

[Tal]

QM ---> wave particle duality

[keebler_giant]

Wave particle duality -> De Broglie (sp?)

[editor]

de broglie = matter waves

[Sir_Zerp]

matter waves -> propagation speed

[Fernanda]

propagation speed --> group velocity

[Sir_Zerp]

group velocity --> newtons per cm2

[keebler_giant]

Newtons per cm2 --> Force

[editor]

force = principle of equivalence

[Yasha]

principle of equivalence -> constant velocity

[Sir_Zerp]

constant velocity -> Flat Space

[keebler_giant]

Flat space -> curved space

[Yasha]

curved space -> general relativity

[spirit_wasa]

general relativity -> cosmological constant

[Turbovolver]

cosmological constant -> expansion of the universe

[spirit_wasa]

expansion of the universe -> Cosmic background radiation

[lee]

Cosmic background radiation-> dark matter :beer:

[Yasha]

dark matter -> black hole

[keebler_giant]

black hole -> quantum gravity

[editor]

quantum gravity - theory of everything

[SplinterIon]

Theory of Everything -> Superstrings

[spirit_wasa]

Superstrings -> Wave Equation

[Turbovolver]

Wave Equation -> Electromagnetic Wave

[spirit_wasa]

Electromagnetic wave -> Photoelectric effect

[Turbovolver]

Photoelectric Effect -> Electron

[spirit_wasa]

Electron -> Atom

IT ENDS HERE...

What do we get out of this mess then?
verification for The Principle of Selfconsistancy

Thank you for being participants in Fernanda and myself\'s little experiment

[dragorse]

hmm .. why ends here?

permit me to continue, pls.

Atom -> electron

[dragorse]

electron -> energy level

[lysdexia]

A game is winnable; otherwise it\'s a toy. How does one win this game? It\'s no fair I didn\'t get in.

Zerp, how did you go from velocity to pressure?

energy level -> forbidden region

[kghose]

forbidden region -> singularity

[Xanadu]

singularity->valency electron

[blumfeld0]

valence electron - > The Dipole

blumfeld0

[Fernanda]

Dipole -> Quadrupole

[Xanadu]

quadrupole->magnetic pole

[Genius]

Magnetic pole -> Magnetic Flux


[Edited on 8-12-2005 by Genius]

[Bella]

Magnetic Flux -> Faraday\'s Law

[lysdexia]

Faraday\'s Law -> Larmor power

[Sir_Zerp]

Larmor power > Vacuum Permittivity

http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/LarmorPower.html

[Xanadu]

Vacuum Permittivity->inter-stellar vacuum

[Xerxes314]

interstellar vacuum --> intergalactic medium (the forgotten medium, poor thing)

[Xanadu]

intergalactic medium->galaxies

[lysdexia]

galaxies -> globular clusters

[Xanadu]

globular clusters->open clusters

[Fernanda]

open clusters -> correlated clusters

[Bella]

Correlated Clusters -> Globular Clusters

[lysdexia]

Bella loses! woohoo! :P

[Xanadu]

so she does...now how about...

hadrons

[lysdexia]

hadrons -> leptoquarks

[Xanadu]

leptoquarks->mesons

[Edited on 8-18-2005 by Xanadu]

[hitman47]

mesons -> bosons

[Edited on 8-18-2005 by hitman47]

[Xerxes314]

bosons --> the X-boson (mightiest of all gauge bosons)

[lysdexia]

X-boson -> instanton (mightiest of all particles)

[Bella]

Since I lost I get to start the next association topic:

Einstein ->

[Sir_Zerp]

Einstein -> EE=PCPC+MCCMCC

[Xanadu]

EE=PCPC+MCCMCC -> e^s=(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2

[lysdexia]

Uhm, Xanadu loses (wrong left hand side).

axion

[nmondal]

I will start.
theta-> ?

[Yasha]

theta->angle

[Bella]

angle -> trigonometry

[Sir_Zerp]

Originally posted by Bella
angle -> trigonometry

trigonometry -> One Sided Triangle

(Hint - Draw out a Sin 0 Triangle)

[kghose]

trigonometry->hyperbolic cosines

[Bella]

hyperbolic cosines -> parabolic tangent

[lysdexia]

parabolic tangent -> directrix

[Blueshawk]

directrix -> eccentricity

[Xanadu]

I don\'t know why, but eccentricity->open universe model

[kghose]

open universe model -> big bang

[Yasha]

big bang -> mini big bang

[Xanadu]

mini big bang->closed universe model

[Blueshawk]

closed universe model -> 3-dimensional sphere

[Sir_Zerp]

3-dimensional sphere --> Warped Space

[dragorse]

superstrings -> spring

[Blueshawk]

hey dragorse you went from warped space to superstrings with no inbetween....?

spring -> potenial NRG

[lysdexia]

PE -> internal energy

[kghose]

internal energy -> fusion

[Blueshawk]

fusion -> [ H + H -> He]

[lysdexia]

He -> excimer

[nmondal]

excimer --> LASER
:(

[lysdexia]

why the frown?

laser -> population inversion

[Blueshawk]

population inversion -> metastable state

[kghose]

metastable state -> equilibria

[nmondal]

equillibria --> Statistical Mechanics

[Xanadu]

statistitical mechanics->quantum engineering
I don\'t kno whow I make some of these associations, but who knows what goes on in my head :D

[Bella]

quantum engineering -> relativity

[nmondal]

I am lost out here...how come from quantum engineering -> relativity ????
:duh:

[Xanadu]

relativity->chronological year on the Gregorian Calendar 1905/cell degradation

which ever you prefer :P

[nmondal]

CellDegradation --> Entropy

[Xanadu]

entropy->2nd law of thermodynamics

[kghose]

2nd law -> Newton\'s laws

[nmondal]

Newton\'s laws ---> Conservation of Momentum
