    In theoretical physics, the hierarchy problem is the problem concerning the large discrepancy between aspects of the weak force and gravity. [1] There is no scientific consensus on why, for example, the weak force is 10 24 times stronger than gravity .

  5. Force spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_spectroscopy

    Typically, the force curves observed in the force spectroscopy experiments consist of a contact (diagonal) region where the probe contacts the sample surface, and a non-contact region where the probe is off the sample surface. When the restoring force of the cantilever exceeds tip-sample adhesion force the probe jumps out of contact, and the ...

  8. 21 grams experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_grams_experiment

    An article by Snopes in 2013 said the experiment was flawed because the methods used were suspect, the sample size was much too small, and the capability to measure weight changes too imprecise, concluding: "credence should not be given to the idea his experiments proved something, let alone that they measured the weight of the soul as 21 grams."

  9. Fluff pulp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluff_pulp

    The most demanding application of fluff pulps is in air-laid products, used in serving utensils, various towel applications in homes, in the industry, and in hospitals. Fluff pulp for air-laid products is defibrized in a hammermill. Defibration is the process of freeing the fibres from each other before entering the paper machine.
