The stability–instability paradox is an international relations theory regarding the effect of nuclear weapons and mutually assured destruction.It states that when two countries each have nuclear weapons, the probability of a direct war between them greatly decreases, but the probability of minor or indirect conflicts between them increases.
Stability–instability paradox: When two countries each have nuclear weapons, the probability of a direct war between them greatly decreases, but the probability of minor or indirect conflicts between them increases.
"Polchinski's paradox" Echeverria and Klinkhammer's resolution. By way of response, physicist Joseph Polchinski wrote them a letter arguing that one could avoid the issue of free will by employing a potentially paradoxical thought experiment involving a billiard ball sent back in time through a wormhole.
Topics about Paradoxes in general should be placed in relevant topic categories. Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large.
BIBO stability (Bounded Input, Bounded Output stability), in signal processing and control theory; Directional stability, the tendency for a body moving with respect to a medium to point in the direction of motion; Elastic stability, the resistance of a structural member to buckling; Flight dynamics, including longitudinal stability
Spaceship paradox or rocket paradox could refer to: Bell's spaceship paradox , a relativistic paradox Pendulum rocket fallacy , a simple mechanical paradox relating to rocket stability
The sub-class of Lur'e systems studied by Popov is described by: ˙ = + ˙ = = + = where x ∈ R n, ξ,u,y are scalars, and A,b,c and d have commensurate dimensions. The nonlinear element Φ: R → R is a time-invariant nonlinearity belonging to open sector (0, ∞), that is, Φ(0) = 0 and yΦ(y) > 0 for all y not equal to 0.
Historically in advanced economies, the periods pre-1914 were characterized by stable foreign exchange rates and free capital movement, whereas monetary autonomy was limited. The period from 1950–1971 had restrictions on capital movement (e.g. capital controls), but exchange rate stability and monetary autonomy were present. The period since ...
