  2. Marsh gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_gas

    Bubbles of methane, created by methanogens, that are present in the marsh, more commonly known as marsh gas. Marsh gas, also known as swamp gas or bog gas, is a mixture primarily of methane and smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and trace phosphine that is produced naturally within some geographical marshes, swamps, and bogs.

  3. Swampland (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swampland_(physics)

    Developments in string theory also suggest that the string theory landscape of false vacuum is vast, so it is natural to ask if the landscape is as vast as allowed by anomaly-free effective field theories. The Swampland program aims to delineate the theories of quantum gravity by identifying the universal principles shared among all theories ...

  4. Will-o'-the-wisp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o'-the-wisp

    The Will o' the Wisp and the Snake by Hermann Hendrich (1854–1931). In folklore, a will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-wisp, or ignis fatuus (Latin for 'foolish flame'; [1] pl. ignes fatui), is an atmospheric ghost light seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes.

  5. Extraterrestrial UFO hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_UFO...

    "for many years, discussions of the UFO issue have remained narrowly polarized between advocates and adversaries of a single theory, namely the extraterrestrial hypothesis ... this fixation on the ETH has narrowed and impoverished the debate, precluding an examination of other possible theories for the phenomenon." [30]

  6. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

  7. Ergodic hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodic_hypothesis

    The ergodic hypothesis is prevalent in modern portfolio theory, discounted cash flow (DCF) models, and aggregate indicator models that infuse macroeconomics, among others. The situations modeled by these theories can be useful. But often they are only useful during much, but not all, of any particular time period under study.

  8. Gas kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_kinetics

    Gas kinetics is a science in the branch of fluid dynamics, concerned with the study of motion of gases and its effects on physical systems.Based on the principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, gas dynamics arises from the studies of gas flows in transonic and supersonic flights.

  9. Real gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_gas

    Real gases are non-ideal gases whose molecules occupy space and have interactions; consequently, they do not adhere to the ideal gas law.To understand the behaviour of real gases, the following must be taken into account:
