Thermalization in Quantum Systems: An Emergent Approach
Clifford Chafin
The problems with an emergent approach to quantum statistical mechanics are discussed and shown to follow from some of the same sources as those of quantum measurement. A wavefunct…
Objective Nontensor Rheology: Unique Flow Decompositions from Correlated Microscopic Motions
Clifford Chafin
The use of continuum mechanics and invariants built from the deviator as an adequate foundation for rheology has been recently disputed by this author. Here we give a specific exam…
The Slicing Theory of Quantum Measurement: Derivation of Transient Many Worlds Behavior
Clifford Chafin
An emergent theory of quantum measurement arises directly by considering the particular subset of many body wavefunctions that can be associated with classical condensed matter and…
Humblonium: Classical Atoms and the Earnshaw Plasma
Clifford Chafin
It is shown that electrostatic and diamagnetic forces can combine to give long lasting metastable bound dimers of macro and mesoscopically sized objects for a physically attainable…
Inconsistencies in the Notions of Acoustic Stress and Streaming
Clifford Chafin
Inviscid hydrodynamics mediates forces through pressure and other, typically irrotational, external forces. Acoustically induced forces must be consistent with arising from such a…
Vertically Driven Waves: Energy Transfer Between Gravity Waves Revisited
Clifford Chafin
We investigate the energy transfer from large waves to small ones through vertical acceleration and demonstrate that this is a much larger effect than that of the potential energy…
