  2. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of time is the second (symbol: s). It has been defined since 1967 as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom", and is an SI base unit.

  3. 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.

  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. 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.

  6. Time-translation symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-translation_symmetry

    Time-translation symmetry is the law that the laws of physics are unchanged (i.e. invariant) under such a transformation. Time-translation symmetry is a rigorous way to formulate the idea that the laws of physics are the same throughout history. Time-translation symmetry is closely connected, via Noether's theorem, to conservation of energy. [1]

  7. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Jerk (also known as Jolt) is the rate of change of an object's acceleration over time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jerk is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s 3 ( SI units ) or standard gravities per second ( g 0 /s).

  8. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  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.
