    Scientists claim to have found evidence of “negative time” after observing photons exiting a material before entering it. A team of quantum physicists from the University of Toronto in Canada ...

  3. Open-circuit time constant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_time_constant...

    The zero-value time (ZVT) constant method itself is a special case of the general Time- and Transfer Constant (TTC) analysis that allows full evaluation of the zeros and poles of any lumped LTI systems of with both inductors and capacitors as reactive elements using time constants and transfer constants. The OCT method provides a quick ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    When playing an audio file on a portable media player, such as an iPod, the screen display may show the time remaining as a negative number, which increases up to zero time remaining at the same rate as the time already played increases from zero. Television game shows: Participants on QI often finish with a negative points score.

    The degenerate distribution at x 0, where X is certain to take the value x 0. This does not look random, but it satisfies the definition of random variable. This is useful because it puts deterministic variables and random variables in the same formalism. The discrete uniform distribution, where all elements of a finite set are equally likely ...

    The time required for a quantity to fall to half its value as measured at the beginning of the time period. In physics, half-life typically refers to a property of radioactive decay, but may refer to any quantity which follows an exponential decay. Hamilton's principle Hamiltonian mechanics harmonic mean heat

    The achievement of, a generally positive feat, three times in a game, or another achievement based on the number three [6] Several: 3+ Three or more but not many. Small gross: 120 Ten dozen (10x12) [7] Great hundred: 120 Ten dozen (10x12) or six score (6x20), also known as long-hundred or twelfty [8] [9] None: 0 Zero Lakh: 100,000

  8. Pointwise mutual information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointwise_mutual_information

    The mutual information (MI) of the random variables X and Y is the expected value of the PMI (over all possible outcomes). The measure is symmetric (⁡ (;) = ⁡ (;)). It can take positive or negative values, but is zero if X and Y are independent. Note that even though PMI may be negative or positive, its expected outcome over all joint ...

  9. Zero crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_crossing

    A zero-crossing in a line graph of a waveform representing voltage over time. A zero-crossing is a point where the sign of a mathematical function changes (e.g. from positive to negative), represented by an intercept of the axis (zero value) in the graph of the function.
