  2. Parkinson's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law

    At the time of Parkinson's study (the 1950s), the Cabinet was still the official governing body. Parkinson observed that, from 1939 on, there was an effort to save the Cabinet as an institution. The membership had been fluctuating from a high of 23 members in 1939, down to 18 in 1954.

  3. Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

    Gravitational time dilation is a form of time dilation, an actual difference of elapsed time between two events, as measured by observers situated at varying distances from a gravitating mass. The lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the slower time passes, speeding up as the gravitational ...

    Brooks's law is an observation about software project management that "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later." [1] [2] It was coined by Fred Brooks in his 1975 book The Mythical Man-Month.

    In mathematics, the nth-term test for divergence [1] is a simple test for the divergence of an infinite series:. If or if the limit does not exist, then = diverges.. Many authors do not name this test or give it a shorter name.

    Therefore, the thermodynamic entropy, which is proportional to the marginal entropy, must also increase with time [8] (note that "not too long" in this context is relative to the time needed, in a classical version of the system, for it to pass through all its possible microstates—a time that can be roughly estimated as , where is the time ...

  8. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation by the Lorentz factor was predicted by several authors at the turn of the 20th century. [3] [4] Joseph Larmor (1897) wrote that, at least for those orbiting a nucleus, individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the [rest] system in the ratio: .
