... We assume that β(g) displays a monotonic behavior between these two limits. Hence when β(g) > 0 the conductance increases with the size of the sample, while when β(g) < 0 the conductance decreases with the size of the sample. Glancing at Fig. 6.3, we arrive at the conclusion that all the states are ...

... Galileo’s experiments on dynamics, and how he defined time and distance. His observations of objects in the sky (sun, moon, Jupiter, stars), what he found, and how he interpreted them. The key differences between Aristotle and Galileo. The difference between the Copernican theory and the Ptolemaic t ...

... This duality has a profound implication. For decades, physicists have been struggling to understand nature at the extremely small scales near the Planck length of 10 –33 centimeter. We have always supposed that laws of nature, as we know them, break down at smaller distances. What T-duality suggests ...
