  2. Hilbert's sixth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_sixth_problem

    Hilbert’s sixth problem was a proposal to expand the axiomatic method outside the existing mathematical disciplines, to physics and beyond. This expansion requires development of semantics of physics with formal analysis of the notion of physical reality that should be done. [ 9 ]

  3. Exact solutions in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_solutions_in_general...

    Noteworthy examples of vacuum solutions, electrovacuum solutions, and so forth, are listed in specialized articles (see below). These solutions contain at most one contribution to the energy–momentum tensor, due to a specific kind of matter or field. However, there are some notable exact solutions which contain two or three contributions ...

  4. Gömböc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gömböc

    For example, the first solution of Domokos and Várkonyi closely resembled a sphere, with a shape deviation of only 10 −5. It was dismissed as it was tough to test experimentally. [ 8 ] The first physically produced example is less sensitive; yet it has a shape tolerance of 10 −3 , that is 0.1 mm for a 10 cm size.

  5. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    In thermodynamics and statistical mechanics contexts, the term "phase space" has two meanings: for one, it is used in the same sense as in classical mechanics. If a thermodynamic system consists of N particles, then a point in the 6 N -dimensional phase space describes the dynamic state of every particle in that system, as each particle is ...

  6. Closed timelike curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_timelike_curve

    This is commonly represented on a graph with physical locations along the horizontal axis and time running vertically, with units of for time and ct for space. Light cones in this representation appear as lines at 45 degrees centered on the object, as light travels at c t {\displaystyle ct} per t {\displaystyle t} .

  7. Falling cat problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_cat_problem

    A solution of the falling cat problem is a curve in the configuration space that is horizontal with respect to the connection (that is, it is admissible by the physics) with prescribed initial and final configurations. Finding an optimal solution is an example of optimal motion planning. [11] [12]

  8. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    The term is important in mechanical systems, especially biomechanical systems, for analyzing and measuring properties of these types of systems that need to account for all six degrees of freedom. Measurement of the six degrees of freedom is accomplished today through both AC and DC magnetic or electromagnetic fields in sensors that transmit ...

  9. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    This can be demonstrated by the following experiment: Hold a tennis racket at its handle, with its face being horizontal, and throw it in the air such that it performs a full rotation around its horizontal axis perpendicular to the handle (ê 2 in the diagram), and then catch the handle. In almost all cases, during that rotation the face will ...
