What was your favorite toy growing up? This paradox claims that memory—and every other one—is just a random fluctuation.
The Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) serves as a fundamental model for describing the statistical behaviour of particles in a medium and finds applications across radiative transfer, neutron ...
Abstract: This paper proves the existence of small-amplitude global-in-time unique mild solutions to both the Landau equation including the Coulomb potential and the Boltzmann equation without angular ...
You've heard the "Boltzmann's Brain" argument (here and here, for example). It's a simple idea, which is put forward as an argument against the notion that our universe is just a thermal fluctuation.
Science popularization has its legends and heroes, just like any other field, though I’ve heard no plans as yet to open a Hall of Fame. Should that day come, one of the first inductees would ...
Cosmology has a way of turning everyday certainty inside out, and few ideas do it more brutally than the suggestion that your entire life story could be a physical fluke. The Boltzmann brain puzzle ...
