Minesweeper thermodynamics | Oscar Cunningham's Blog

Essay that confirms what i've long suspected... "reality" is bullshit... or, the very best one could say for it... tis ok but not as good as the genuine article!

Philosophers must reckon with the meaning of thermodynamics | Aeon Essays

Everything eats and is eaten. Everything destroys and is destroyed. It is our moral duty to strike back at the Universe

Aeon

I wrote a blog post about the rather silly idea of applying thermodynamics to Minesweeper: https://oscarcunningham.com/792/minesweeper-thermodynamics/

Scientists Confirm the Incredible Existence of ‘Second Sound’

Scientists have imaged heat traveling as a wave, called "second sound," in superfluid quantum gas. It may unlock mysteries of neutron stars and superconductors.

Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. Arieh Ben-Naim: “Demystifying Entropy”

He believes that we need a new fundamental understanding of the phenomenon of entropy. Entropy, which originally stems from the second law of thermodynamics, has, in Arieh's view, been misused and incorrectly transferred as a concept to other areas of physics, biology, and everyday life.

French military scientist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, who died OTD in 1832, is described as the "father of #thermodynamics" https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/france/electricity/?s=mb #travel #France #history
Do They Have Electricity in France?

Many Americans, especially Fox "News" watchers, do not realize that people in France have access to electrical power.

Basics of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP):

1. THE HORIZONTAL MOMENTUM EQUATION:
\[
\frac{d\mathbf{V}}{dt} + f\hat{k} \times \mathbf{V} = -\nabla \phi + \frac{\sigma}{p_s} \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \sigma} \nabla p_s + \mathbf{F}
\]

2. THE CONTINUITY EQUATION:
\[
\frac{\partial p_s}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot (p_s \mathbf{V}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial \sigma}(p_s \dot{\sigma}) = 0
\]

3. THE THERMODYNAMIC ENERGY EQUATION:
\[
\frac{1}{R} \frac{d}{dt} \left[ \sigma \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \sigma} \right] + \frac{RT}{C_p p} \left[ p_s \dot{\sigma} + \sigma\dot{p_s} \right] = -Q
\]

4. HYDROSTATIC EQUATION:
\[
\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \sigma} = -\frac{RT_v}{\sigma}
\]

5. SURFACE PRESSURE TENDENCY EQUATION:
\[\displaystyle
\frac{\partial p_s}{\partial t} = -\int_{0}^{1} \nabla\cdot (p_s \mathbf{V}) \, d\sigma
\]

6. MOISTURE EQUATION:
\[\displaystyle
\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (p_s q) + \nabla\cdot (p_s q \mathbf{V}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial \sigma} (p_s q \dot{\sigma}) = p_s S
\]

The six primary unknowns are: \(\mathbf{V}\) (horizontal wind velocity), \(p_s\) (surface pressure), \(T\) (temperature), \(q\) (specific humidity or moisture), \(\phi\) (geopotential), and \(\dot{\sigma}\) (sigma velocity or vertical velocity in \(\sigma\)-coordinates).
