  2. Fine-tuning (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-tuning_(physics)

    An example of a fine-tuning problem considered by the scientific community to have a plausible "natural" solution is the cosmological flatness problem, which is solved if inflationary theory is correct: inflation forces the universe to become very flat, answering the question of why the universe is today observed to be flat to such a high degree.

  3. Soliton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton

    This theory, developed by de Broglie in 1927 and revived in the 1950s, is the natural continuation of his ideas developed between 1923 and 1926, which extended the wave–particle duality introduced by Albert Einstein for the light quanta, to all the particles of matter. The observation of accelerating surface gravity water wave soliton using ...

  4. Stability of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_of_matter

    Teller's no-binding theorem was in fact also used to bound from below the total Coulomb interaction in terms of the simpler Hartree energy appearing in Thomas–Fermi theory. Speaking about the Lieb–Thirring proof, Dyson wrote later [17] [18] Lenard and I found a proof of the stability of matter in 1967.

  5. Flatness problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatness_problem

    The flatness problem is naturally solved by the Einstein–Cartan–Sciama–Kibble theory of gravity, without an exotic form of matter required in inflationary theory. [ 37 ] [ 38 ] This theory extends general relativity by removing a constraint of the symmetry of the affine connection and regarding its antisymmetric part, the torsion tensor ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

    A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be or that has been repeatedly tested and has corroborating evidence in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.

  7. Military science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_science

    Military science is the study of military processes, institutions, and behavior, along with the study of warfare, and the theory and application of organized coercive force. [1] It is mainly focused on theory , method, and practice of producing military capability in a manner consistent with national defense policy .

  8. Speed wobble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble

    Speed wobble (also known as shimmy, tank-slapper, [1] or death wobble) is a rapid side-to-side shaking of a vehicle's wheel(s) that occurs at high speeds and can lead to loss of control. It presents as a quick (4–10 Hz) oscillation of primarily the steerable wheel(s), and is caused by a combination of factors, including initial disturbances ...

  9. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    A definition of "matter" based on its physical and chemical structure is: matter is made up of atoms. [17] Such atomic matter is also sometimes termed ordinary matter. As an example, deoxyribonucleic acid molecules (DNA) are matter under this definition because they are made of atoms.
