  3. Principle of locality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality

    Locality evolved out of the field theories of classical physics. The idea is that for a cause at one point to have an effect at another point, something in the space between those points must mediate the action. To exert an influence, something, such as a wave or particle, must travel through the space between the two points, carrying the ...

    Modern analytic celestial mechanics started with Isaac Newton's Principia.The name celestial mechanics is more recent than that. Newton wrote that the field should be called "rational mechanics".

  7. Looming and similar refraction phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looming_and_similar...

    Looming of the Canadian coast as seen from Rochester, New York, on April 16, 1871. Looming is the most noticeable and most often observed of these refraction phenomena. It is an abnormally large refraction of the object that increases the apparent elevation of the distant objects and sometimes allows an observer to see objects that are located below the horizon under normal conditions.

  8. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    The stack effect or chimney effect is the movement of air into and out of buildings through unsealed openings, chimneys, flue-gas stacks, or other purposefully designed openings or containers, resulting from air buoyancy. Buoyancy occurs due to a difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density resulting from temperature and moisture differences ...

  9. Heat death of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

    In the language of physics, this is when the universe reaches thermodynamic equilibrium. If the curvature of the universe is hyperbolic or flat , or if dark energy is a positive cosmological constant , the universe will continue expanding forever, and a heat death is expected to occur, [ 3 ] with the universe cooling to approach equilibrium at ...
