So apparently scientists have proved mathematically that AI cannot bootstrap itself into superintelligence and godhood.

Of course, anyone familiar with entropy and the second law of thermodynamics already knew that.

So if we DO encounter an AI that claims superintelligence and/or godhood, it's a very safe bet that it's a billionaire using it as a puppet.

🐢📚 Ah, yes, the ancient art of "Thermodynamics for #FREE," where you can thrill at the prospect of mastering entropy with a 330-page #PDF that won’t cost you a dime—or a paperweight version for a mere 49 bucks. Because nothing screams "modern engineering" quite like downloading a French-translated tome on SI units that no one asked for. 🎉🤓

The #paperOfTheDay is a classic of #thermodynamics : "Equation of state in the Neighborhood of the critical point" from 1965. Here, Benjamin Widom introduces what is now known as "Widom scaling".
Generically, the properties of a fluid might depend on parameters, such as temperature or density, through power laws. There are certain critical points in the phase space, i.e. certain temperatures, densities, etc., where the behaviour of the fluid changes qualitatively. The observation is that close to the critical point, the exponents of the various power laws have different numerical values than what one would expect classically. For example, the specific heat diverges at a power law, but the exponent of divergence is not what one would expect from the conventional equation of state.
Widom's paper now makes a specific conjecture: Near a critical point, the equation of state should be altered by introducing an arbitrary function of density of temperature, however, this function is assumed to be homogeneous. That is if x is temperature and y is density, it is a function of the form e.g. x^c * f(y/x), where f is an arbitrary function of y/x, and c is a constant. It turns out that almost all experimental observations can be described from this conjecture without knowing the functional form of f. The scaling exponent c alone is sufficient to give rise to the non-classical power laws and the relations between them.
This paper is significant because it is an early (and purely heuristic) version of universality: The behaviour of systems in #statisticalPhysics at the critical point is largely determined from structural properties, independently of concrete details.

Matter for Thought - Timeless insights for Modern Physics

👨‍🔬Quote by John Tyndall, Irish physicist

📚Source: "Heat as a Mode of Motion" (1874)

#Physics #NatureConnections #ScientificQuotes #Thermodynamics #SciencePhilosophy

#PaperOfTheDay is "Full phase diagram of the massive Gross-Neveu model" from 2006.
The Gross-Neveu model is a #quantumFieldTheory of fermions in two spacetime dimensions. In the absence of a bare mass term, it has a discrete chiral symmetry (a few days ago I shared a paper where that symmetry is promoted to a continuous symmetry by adding a second interaction term). The present paper, conversely, is about the case where the mass is non-zero. Then, chiral symmetry is broken.
They consider the theory from a #thermodynamics perspective, where the variables are temperature (i.e. the Planck constant in quantum field language), chemical potential (i.e. a constant offset to energy), and the mass of the particle. Using a clever ansatz, they are able to compute the full phase diagram of the Gross-Neveu field as function of the three variables. As had long been known, if the bare mass vanishes, then the model generates a dynamic mass for the fermion at low enough temperature and chemical potential. It had previously been believed that at non-vanishing bare mass, there would be a discontinuous change in the effective mass from large to small as the temperature is increased. The central result of the present paper is that this is false: Instead, in the boundary region, there is another phase where the field is spacially non-homogeneous, it forms a periodic crystal. Below, one has a heavy fermion, above the fermion is light, and the new phase is something different altogether.

Thermodynamics is the foundational branch of physical science concerned with the macroscopic relationships between heat, work, temperature, and energy. Its primary goal is to establish the fundamental laws that govern the transfer of energy from one place to another and from one form to another, as well as to determine the spontaneity and direction of physical and chemical processes.

Cooling is rarely steady. Experiments show how heat transfer changes dynamically during rapid temperature drops.

These transient effects matter for boiling regimes and could help refine models of vapor layer formation.
