  2. Microscopic reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_reversibility

    The Newton and the Schrödinger equations in the absence of the macroscopic magnetic fields and in the inertial frame of reference are T-invariant: if X(t) is a solution then X(-t) is also a solution (here X is the vector of all dynamic variables, including all the coordinates of particles for the Newton equations and the wave function in the configuration space for the Schrödinger equation).

  3. Time reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_reversibility

    A mathematical or physical process is time-reversible if the dynamics of the process remain well-defined when the sequence of time-states is reversed.. A deterministic process is time-reversible if the time-reversed process satisfies the same dynamic equations as the original process; in other words, the equations are invariant or symmetrical under a change in the sign of time.

  4. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    First order LTI systems are characterized by the differential equation + = where τ represents the exponential decay constant and V is a function of time t = (). The right-hand side is the forcing function f(t) describing an external driving function of time, which can be regarded as the system input, to which V(t) is the response, or system output.

  5. Back-reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-reaction

    (which comes from the non-linearity of Einstein field equations) and the dynamical evolution of spatial slices of space-time. [1] As of 2017, the role of backreaction in possibly leading to an alternative to dark energy is an open question of debate among cosmologists.

  6. Background independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_independence

    If a background-independent formalism is present, it can lead to simpler and more elegant equations. However, there is no physical content in requiring that a theory be manifestly background-independent – for example, the equations of general relativity can be rewritten in local coordinates without affecting the physical implications.

  7. Poincaré recurrence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_recurrence_theorem

    The Poincaré recurrence time is the length of time elapsed until the recurrence. This time may vary greatly depending on the exact initial state and required degree of closeness. The result applies to isolated mechanical systems subject to some constraints, e.g., all particles must be bound to a finite volume.

  8. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In physics, sometimes units of measurement in which c = 1 are used to simplify equations. Time in a "moving" reference frame is shown to run more slowly than in a "stationary" one by the following relation (which can be derived by the Lorentz transformation by putting ∆x′ = 0, ∆τ = ∆t′):

  9. Kubo formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubo_formula

    The Kubo formula, named for Ryogo Kubo who first presented the formula in 1957, [1] [2] is an equation which expresses the linear response of an observable quantity due to a time-dependent perturbation.
