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]
Physicists such as Alain Aspect and Paul Kwiat have performed experiments that have found violations of these inequalities up to 242 standard deviations. [29] This rules out local hidden-variable theories, but does not rule out non-local ones. Theoretically, there could be experimental problems that affect the validity of the experimental findings.
But in a later passage, Laërtius attributes the origin of the paradox to Zeno, explaining that Favorinus disagrees. [3] Modern academics attribute the paradox to Zeno. [1] [2] Many of these paradoxes argue that contrary to the evidence of one's senses, motion is nothing but an illusion.

An electric arc between two nails. An electric arc (or arc discharge) is an electrical breakdown of a gas that produces a prolonged electrical discharge.The current through a normally nonconductive medium such as air produces a plasma, which may produce visible light.
The sun passes south to north through the ring plane when Saturn's heliocentric longitude is 173.6 degrees (e.g. 11 August 2009), about the time Saturn crosses from Leo to Virgo. 15.7 years later Saturn's longitude reaches 353.6 degrees and the sun passes to the south side of the ring plane.
The Dutch East Indies was one of the most valuable colonies under European rule, [6] though its profits depended on exploitative labor. [ 7 ] The colony contributed to Dutch global prominence in spice and cash crop trade in the 19th century, and coal and oil exploration in the 20th century. [ 7 ]
The Rigveda is the oldest known Vedic Sanskrit text. [6] Its early layers are among the oldest extant texts in any Indo-European language . [ 7 ] [ note 2 ] Some scholars claim that the sounds and texts of the Rigveda have been orally transmitted since the 2nd millennium BCE, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] though Jamison and Brereton note that the dates ...
