The Omegaverse exploded in popularity in 2017, quickly becoming a frequent subject of fan fiction writers. [29] As of July 2018, over 39,000 Omegaverse fan works had been published on the fan fiction website Archive of Our Own, [9] and over 165,000 as of 2023. [39]
Seven of Nine displays an interest in the scientists' methods, however, hoping to save the Omega particles and harness them because she believes them to be perfection—infinite parts working together as one (like the Borg)—despite ample Starfleet and Borg evidence of their incredible danger: The Borg, referring to the Omega particle as ...
The heat death of the universe (also known as the Big Chill or Big Freeze) [1] [2] is a hypothesis on the ultimate fate of the universe, which suggests the universe will evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy, and will therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy.
When gel is applied to a surface such as an exterior wall, the water-filled bubblets can absorb much of the heat given off by the fire, thereby slowing the fire from reaching the wall. Gels can provide thermal protection from fire for extended periods even at 3,500 °F (1,930 °C).
Heat death paradox is born of a paradigm resulting from fundamental ideas about the cosmos. It is necessary to change the paradigm to resolve the paradox. The paradox was based upon the rigid mechanical point of view of the second law of thermodynamics postulated by Rudolf Clausius and Lord Kelvin , according to which heat can only be ...
The Stefan–Boltzmann law gives the power emitted per unit area of the emitting body, = (,) Note that the cosine appears because black bodies are Lambertian (i.e. they obey Lambert's cosine law ), meaning that the intensity observed along the sphere will be the actual intensity times the cosine of the zenith angle.
Prior to Kirchhoff's studies, it was known that for total heat radiation, the ratio of emissive power to absorptive ratio was the same for all bodies emitting and absorbing thermal radiation in thermodynamic equilibrium. This means that a good absorber is a good emitter. Naturally, a good reflector is a poor absorber.
Decay heat as fraction of full power for a reactor SCRAMed from full power at time 0, using two different correlations. In a typical nuclear fission reaction, 187 MeV of energy are released instantaneously in the form of kinetic energy from the fission products, kinetic energy from the fission neutrons, instantaneous gamma rays, or gamma rays from the capture of neutrons.
