William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin OM, GCVO, PC, PRS, PRSE, (26 June 1824 – 17 December 1907) was a Belfast-born mathematical physicist and engineer. At the University of Glasgow he did important work in the mathematical analysis of electricity and formulation of the first and second Laws of Thermodynamics, and did much to unify the emerging discipline of physics in its modern form. He also had a career as an electric telegraph engineer and inventor, which propelled him into the public eye and ensured his wealth, fame and honour. For his work on the transatlantic telegraph project he was knighted by Queen Victoria, becoming Sir William Thomson. He had extensive maritime interests and was most noted for his work on the mariner's compass, which had previously been limited in reliability.
Lord Kelvin is widely known for developing the basis of absolute zero, and for this reason a unit of temperature measure is named after him. On his ennoblement in honour of his achievements in thermodynamics, and of his opposition to Irish Home Rule[2] [3] [4], he adopted the title Baron Kelvin of Largs and is therefore often described as Lord Kelvin. He was the first UK scientist to be elevated to the House of Lords. The title refers to the River Kelvin, which flows close by his laboratory at the university of Glasgow, Scotland. His home was the imposing red sandstone mansion, Netherhall, in Largs on the Firth of Clyde. Despite offers of elevated posts from several world renowned universities Lord Kelvin refused to leave Glasgow, remaining Professor of Natural Philosophy for over 50 years, until his eventual retirement from that post. The Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow has a permanent exhibition on the work of Lord Kelvin including many of his original papers, instruments and other artifacts.
Bologna (Italy) – Asinelli tower – Built in year 1109, 498 steps, it's a leaning tower. In 1791 the tower was the protagonist of a famous scientific experiment conducted by physicist Giovanni Battista Guglielmini to prove the rotation of the earth. By dropping a grave from the tower noticed that instead of falling along the vertical line it moved to 17 mm.
For a while there, I thought I'd lost my mind.
I hate to be the person who writes something totally unrelated to the picture, but I'm teaching at a workshop in London next week (Friday 11th), and I thought I'd put the offer out to anyone interested in coming. georgiarosehardy@gmail.com if you'd like some more info :)

Assistens Cemetery in the Nørrebro region of Copenhagen, Denmark.
It is the burial site of many leading figures of the epoch, such as Hans Christian Andersen, Søren Kierkegaard, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, and Christen Købke. Through the 20th century it has continued to attract notables. Among the latter are the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr and a number of American jazz musicians who settled in Copenhagen during the 1950s and 1960s, including Ben Webster and Kenny Drew.
Originally the cemetery was intended as a burial ground for paupers. In 1785 an affluent citizen, astronomic writer and First Secretary of the War Chancellery Johan Samuel Augustin, made specific requests to be interred at the cemetery. He was soon followed by other leading figures from the elite and the cemetery soon developed into the most fashionable burial ground of the city. Around that time, excursions to the cemetery with picnic baskets and tea became a popular activity among common citizens of Copenhagen.
The excursions sometimes evolved into rowdy gatherings and legislation was passed to prevent this. A commission established in 1805 issued instructions which prohibited the consumption of food or drink as well as music or any other kind of cheerful behaviour in the cemetery. The gravediggers, who lived on the premises, were to enforce these restrictions but they seem to have taken their duties lightly. Legislation from 1813 prohibited them to sell alcohol to visitors to the cemetery. Despite all these efforts, the desired peace and quiet was a long time in coming. For particularly grand funerals, crowds of spectators would gather, and people would festoon the cemetery walls to get a better view. To reduce numbers of visitors, there was talk of introducing admission fees, but this was never carried out.
The cemetery is still serving its original purpose as a burial ground but is also a popular tourist attraction, as well as the largest and most important greenspace in the inner part of the Nørrebro district. It is divided into sections. The oldest part is Section A and features the graves of Søren Kierkegaard and the painter Christen Købke among others. Section D is dedicated to religious minorities, containing Roman Catholic and Reformed graves as well as Russian graves. Section E is the section which originally served under Church of Our Lady.

According to ancient and medieval science, aether (Greek: αἰθήρ aithēr[1]), also spelled æther or ether, also called quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the traveling of light and gravity. In the late 19th century, physicists postulated that aether permeated all throughout space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum, but evidence for the presence of such a medium was not found in the Michelson–Morley experiment.[2]

A Flickr Friday submission on the topic "Bubbles". Soap bubbles on a lightbox, and physicists will be pleased to see Newton's Rings on the large bubble.
Physicists, space scientists, astrologists .. oh my. Had an amazing time learning and photographing at the ARO (Ontario, Canada). Well worth the 8hr drive, 100kms of gravel road, and maneuvering in the dark. My goal for this weekend was to shoot the Radio Dish which is 150 wide and shooting the starts and Milky Way. I wished that I would see some northern nights; little did I know that it would all happen all together in a single image!

Sensational discovery.
The theory of parallel universes which has long been discussed among physicists around the globe has finally been proven. While a detailed report is yet to be published, rumor has it that a gate to parallel universes has been discovered at the most unlikely of places: the bottom of a sherry glass (see the note in the accompanying image).
Whether the discovery has been made before or after the consumption of the sherry and how much of the substance was possibly needed for the experiments to succeed remains yet to be investigated. Stay tuned for further news.
;-)
Enjoy!

The Foucault pendulum, or Foucault's pendulum, named after the French physicist Léon Foucault, is a simple device conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. While it had long been known that the Earth rotates, the introduction of the Foucault pendulum in 1851 was the first simple proof of the rotation in an easy-to-see experiment.
Below are a couple of Scripture verses I chose from the Bible to mark today's passing of Dr. Stephen Hawking, physicist extraordinaire and outspoken atheist.
Dr. Hawking always struck me as a kind and gentle soul who had an amazing mind and who many considered one of the greatest scientists of our time. He showed tremendous courage while struggling with a debilitating neurological disease for 49 years and he had a wicked sense of humour to top it all off. Yet regrettably, despite all this, Dr. Hawing's knowledge and understanding of God were sadly lacking.
Many admirers around the world today are taking to the public square to laud Stephen Hawking the man, and to celebrate his remarkable achievements, and rightly so. Many are also taking the opportunity to present him as an authoritative voice on the existence of God. And so, I felt it appropriate to add my own little contribution to the moment through the Bible verses below.
“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom,
Let not the strong man boast in his strength,
Let not the rich man boast in his riches;
But let him who boasts, boast in this,
That he knows and understands Me," says the Lord.
Jeremiah 9:23-24
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
Proverbs 9:10

A brief trip to Switzerland to meet with roommates from my study time and later to meet some physicists. Captured while waiting for the tram to Zürich HB.
Excerpt from lensscaper.wordpress.com:
In 1916, Chamonix changed its name to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. A name change designed to cement and place, in the public eye, the close ties that the town had established, and wished to preserve, with Mont Blanc the highest mountain in the European Alps.
In 1760 Horace Bénédict de Saussure, offered a financial reward to anyone who could complete the first ascent of Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco in Italian). Saussure was a Genevan Aristocrat, Geologist, Physicist and Alpine traveller. He also wrote Les Voyages dans les Alpes documenting his travels and is regarded by many as the founder of Alpinism.
Several unsuccessful attempts were made over the next few years to climb Mont Blanc and it wasn’t until 8 August 1786 that the reward was claimed by two local Chamonix men who climbed the mountain from the Chamonix valley. They were Jacques Balmat, a Chamois hunter and crystal collector, and Dr Michel Gabriel Paccard, a Chamonix doctor.
A bronze statue was erected in the town’s main square in 1887 to commemorate the centenary of the first ascent. Seen from behind, it is dramatic: two men, one of them pointing to Mont Blanc with an outstretched arm. You can sense the celebration inherent in the stance.
Walk around it and view it from the front and you will be surprised to find that the statue is not of Balmat and Paccard the two pioneering Mountaineers, but of Balmat and his ‘financier’ Saussure. What of Paccard? Why was he not part of this commemorative statue?
In our era we are familiar with the concept of events and stories being manipulated to massage egos and promote one person over another. It may come as a surprise to learn that the account of the first ascent of Mont Blanc was progressively mis-told and manipulated to promote one man (Balmat) and belittle his companion (Paccard).
The instigator of this misrepresentation was Marc-Theodore Bourrit, another Alpine traveller who had himself failed to find a route to the summit of Mont Blanc and who wrote accounts of the successful ascent denigrating the role Paccard played and promoting Balmat as the ‘braver and fitter’ leader. He even wrote to the King of Sardinia (the Chamonix region of France at that time being part of the Kingdom of Sardinia) who on the basis of the account supplied to him by Bourrit lauded Balmat as ‘Balmat le Mont Blanc’. Paccard didn’t take this lying down but reacted by demanding Balmat sign an affidavit denying Bourrit’s version of events. It had, in fact, been Paccard who was the leader of the two and who reached the summit first, Sadly by now the damage was done and Balmat (despite the affidavit that he signed for Paccard) continued to boast in a conceited way about his part in the ascent, and sadly Chamonix chose to believe him. And for many years thereafter articles and books including Balmat’s own autobiography continued to promote Balmat over his companion. With this knowledge it comes as no surprise that the Bronze statue erected at the time of the centenary effectively airbrushed Paccard out from the glory of that first ascent.
-By X-Day, seven more “Fat Man,” type plutonium-core atomic bombs are perfected by teams of nuclear physicists in San Francisco, ready, and have been transported to Yontan Airfield on Okinawa. Three days following the initial amphibious invasion and the failure of the airborne invasion, President Truman and Colonel Lyle E. Seeman order the use of four bombs, nicknamed “King, Chicago, Tokyo with Love", and "Overlord,” to be dropped on the Japanese home islands with primary targets including Osaka and Tokyo. On February 16th, the missions are completed and the bombs are all detonated successfully. With the effects of radiation poisoning not well known at the time, many American soldiers of the 6th Army pushing north to Tokyo are killed or put out of action as a result.
-Japanese merchant sailors are used to ship disguised munitions and supplies to the last dregs of Imperial soldiers fighting in Manchuria. Many are sunk by a dense Soviet and Chinese blockade across the Western coast of the Sea of Japan.
-Despite the harsh weather, Soviet forces engage in intense and fierce combat against the outnumbered but determined Japanese in Manchuria and northern China. Equipped with T-34 and KV tanks, the tiny and obsolete Japanese tankettes are all but wiped out within two weeks. A lack of supplies force many Japanese soldiers to fight with knives and blunt objects, and whole Japanese columns are mowed down by heavily fortified Soviet lines. The combat in Manchuria is reminiscent of the futile and bloody charges across no man’s land on the Western Front of the Great War. Russian soldiers strip dead Japanese bodies, and by the time of their arrival in Harbin, the distinctive uniforms are unrecognizable beneath fur coats, hats, and jewelry.
" A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."
Quote from Albert Einstein,Theoretical Physicist, Nobel Prize 1921
I was driving into the city the other day and while stopped at the traffic lights in South Melbourne, this striking piece caught my eye!
I headed back later that day to capture it and was fortunate enough to meet one of the artists of this wonderful creation. He told me this piece titled "Maxwell" is of mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell.
One of the many things Maxwell is known for is for presenting the first durable colour photograph in 1861 and, as the artist himself informed me, the colour concept of RGB . . . if you look closely you can see the artist has cleverly included one red, blue and green frame to symbolise this.
Many physicists regard Maxwell as the 19th century scientist having the greatest influence on 20th century physics.
Maxwell's contributions to science are considered by many to be of the same magnitude as those of Newton and Einstein.

RIP Stephen Hawking (1942 - 2018)
Remembering Stephen Hawking, a renowned physicist and ambassador of science whose work made our world a better place. May he rest in peace roaming the cosmos.
Tycho Brahe, born Tyge Ottesen Brahe (December 14, 1546 – October 24, 1601), was a Danish nobleman famed for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical observations. Hailing from Scania, now part of modern-day Sweden, Brahe was well known in his lifetime as an astrologer and alchemist.
He also had a pet moose which he would bring to parties and get drunk. It died when it fell down some stairs.
Lawrence Krauss: "We are all Stardust" (youtube 0:36 Lawrence Krauss: theoretical physicist, cosmologist. One of the books he wrote: "The physics of Star Trek")
Quote: "Forget Jesus, the stars dyed that you are here today"
That is step one. The atoms the Earth is made of and also our bodies are made of stars that exploded, are from stars that have dyed.
Step two - sorry the next video is only in German - therefore an English summary: Estimation: in every human being there are about 20 millions atoms that are from Jesus. Assumed that Jesus has lived as a person. Although if one believes that Jesus` body ascented into heaven, nonetheless there are atoms that once belonged to his body still on earth, because everybody looses cells, hair, skin cells, nails etc. during his lifetime. These atoms during long time spread around the world - so everybody has atoms in his body that were former atoms in the bodies of other people and were part of plants, animals and objects, and also of Jesus (if he has lived as a person).
Science Busters: "Jesus Atome" (youtube 2:28)
Vorausgesetzt Jesus hat überhaupt als Person existiert, gelebt. Dann sind in Hostien genausoviele Atome von Jesus wie in der gleichen Menge Auer Baumstämme. !Aber: ein Atom bleibt exakt das gleiche egal wo überall es schon gewesen ist, es ändert nichts an einem Atom ob es nun mal in Jesus und in Mohammed und dann in Hitler und dann in einer weißen Lilie und dann in einer Waffel war, gegessen wurde und wieder ausgeschissen wurde, dann in einer Fliege war und dann in mir und dann in dir! Es hat keinerlei Einfluß auf Körper, Geist, Persönlichkeit, etc. wieviele Atome man von Jesus hat, wieviele von Hitler - Atom bleibt sozusagen Atom. Und auch umgekehrt: nur weil Atome von verstorbenen Tieren, Personen in mir sind, leben diese Personen, Tiere nicht durch mich, in mir, weiter genausowenig wie Jesus (falls es ihn gegeben hat) in mir weiterlebt, weil Atome, die einst Teil von Jesus waren in mir sind. Tot ist tot. Reliquien sind Überreste verstorbener Heiliger - wenn in mir Atome von Jesus sind warum bin ich keine Jesusreliquie und werde als Reliquie des Heiligen Antonius verehrt, und aller anderer Heiliger deren Atome in mir sind…
Part of: "Putting on Paper ~ zu Papier bringen" Auer Baumstämme - inspired by, angeregt durch, Hommage to: Eat Art von Daniel Spoerri // "Picture Puzzles Bilderrätsel Riddle Rebus Rätsel" Die Antwort auf die Zusatzfrage: in Hostien sind gleich viele Atome von Jesus wie in der gleichen Menge Auer Baumstämme // Fronleichnam: Fest des heiligsten Leibes und Blutes Christi Sollemnitas Sanctissimi Corporis et Sanguinis Christi - heilig heiliger heiligst - no to "some things and people count, most don`t" heilig, Fetisch, Anbetung von Reliquien - Immunisierung gegen Kritik - führt zu Verengung des Horizonts, Verengung der Weltsicht - Stichworte dazu auch: Echo-Kammer - führt zu Stillstand, Wiederholung anstatt Weiterentwicklung - - Kreativität ist keine Phase - - Argumentation, Diskussion, in Frage stellen, nicht abwehren wenn in Frage gestellt wird, auch nicht es nur aushalten, sondern darauf eingehen -- Kreativität ist keine Phase - Kreativität heißt nicht dasselbe immer wieder zu wiederholen - eine Idee zum x-ten Male wiederholen ist nicht eine Idee haben - und Bienenstöcke ob sie nun am Kahlenberg stehen (die hab ich 2015 fotografiert) oder am Zentralfriedhof und das hunderste beinahe gleiche Schnittmuster Herumgespiele mit Narrenturmbildern etc. bringt nichts Neues - dieselben Schritte wiederholen und zum selben Ergebnis kommen nur leichte Variationen und dem dann halt immer wieder einen ein bißl anderen Titel geben - das ist das Gegenteil von Ideen haben es ist eine einmal gehabte Idee wiederholen - ein exzellentes Beispiel dafür was Blockierern passiert - die Blockade blockt mehr sie selber als die Blockierte - wer schadenfreudig ist der lacht da vielleicht, lacht sich vielleicht ins Fäustchen, aber bevor man lacht über diesen Blockierer, sollte man doch noch einmal innehalten und bedenken: wer zuletzt lacht lacht am besten.

This monolithic building was named for a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who found a way to measure the charge of the electron.
The passage of time is most likely an illusion even though our senses tell us that time flows.
Consciousness may involve thermodynamic or quantum processes that lend the impression of living moment by moment. According to a certain physicist, time is not real and what we regard as the time is no more than changes that lead to the illusion of time.

In a rather strange move, Nikon just released a rebranded 1st Gen Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens in Z mount at $1,199.95, the lens diagrams for the mirrorless Z and E mount versions are identical with identical MTF and minimum focus distance.
Like some Matrix “black cat” deja vu, Olympus (after being spun off from the Olympus Parent Co) did the same thing previously with the remounted 100-400mm f5-6.3 IS which was derived from Sigma’s older DSLR version of the same lens rather than the newer mirrorless 100-400mm DN version while asking for a price way in excess of the original Sigma DSLR lens!
The newer Sony E mount Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 G2 is currently available for $899 and the superseded version (now rebranded Z version) was released back in 2018 at $800. This makes the rebranded Z mount version 50% (+$400!) more expensive than the 2018 E mount version! Heck, the rebranded Z version is even ⅓ more expensive than the newest 2021 Tamron G2 version! Adding insult to injury, the remounted Z lens won’t get Tamron’s much longer 5 years warranty.
More choice is great but it’s not good to fleece one’s loyal customers so blatantly. The issue is not about who actually made the lens but rather Nikon charging 50% more for a lens that has already been replaced by a newer G2 version which is way, way too much just for native AF compatibility!!
As expected, the usual Nikon Z-ealot fanbois shills are out in full force with hyperbolic rationalization and attempts to warp space-time by suggesting that the Z mount version has some magical secret Nikon sauce for better performance, steering discussions well away from the ridiculous 50% premium for a superseded model! Ludicrous mental gymnastics such as outright denial that it’s the same lens, hallucinating possible addition of Nikon lens coatings or AF motors or that Leica does the same with rebranding Sigma lenses hence this is kosher…..
Nikon Z-ealots were already trying to spin that the Z 24-120mm f4 S is optically superior just because the VR mechanism was omitted! Tamron typically leaves out VR in their mirrorless lenses, perhaps the new Z 24-120mm f4.0 S was also designed by Tamron since this was also announced at the same time as the rebranded Z 28-75mm f2.8!?
Really odd behaviour that we seldom see in folks using other brands, perhaps Z-ealot shills live in the Matrix and hence lost all capacity to discern reality from fiction!
When the equivalent Z lens is markedly larger than other brands’ versions, Z-ealots will tell you that Nikon optimized performance over size! Nikon’s largest Z mount diameter supposedly allows for more efficient lens designs but yet they end up with larger, heavier and more expensive lenses, why?
The likely reason is all about financials. Nikon’s market share has been shrinking for years, their mirrorless market share is even smaller and continues to shrink in a shrinking market. In order to generate enough revenue to offset their higher fixed costs (esp R&D) over diminishing unit sales, they have to charge ever higher margins. As such even if the bigger mount diameter hypothetically does allow for more efficient lens designs, whatever design benefits derived must 1st go towards bolstering the Nikon imaging division’s bottomline hence their Z mount lenses ended up bigger, heavier and more expensive at the expense of the consumer! The Z system does not offer value to the consumer; www.flickr.com/photos/86145600@N07/51134617306/in/datepos...
Nikon has always been behind in releasing and updating lenses as well. This is also a direct consequence of a smaller market share even during the DSLR era. Canon will have version III lenses out when Nikon in many cases never even manage to update to version II.
In the UWA category, Canon had EF 16-35mm f2.8L III while Nikon was stuck with their 1st version at f4 from 2010! Fixed aperture standard zoom Canon EF 24-105mm f4 got version II updates vs Nikon’s single generation AF-S 24-120mm f4. Same for Prime lenses, Canon EF 35mm f1.4II while Nikon never went beyond AF-S 35mm f1.4G from 2010. Canon’s superb variable aperture EF 100-400mm II while Nikon never got beyond their disappointing 1st version 80-400mm zoom from 1996. Even with supertele exotics, Canon EF 400mm f2.8, 500mm f4 and 600mm f4 all reached 3rd generation updates while Nikon only managed 2 generations. Now in the mirrorless age, Nikon’s market share is even smaller, very small in fact. No wonder the Nikon shills have been so frantically spewing misinformation in the gear forums!
The Z 800mm f6.3 PF VR announcement is however much more exciting! This is the area where Nikon appears to have real competitive advantage over others.

Frl. Dr. von Zahnd: "Sie haben sich mit Newton unterhalten"
Inspektor: "Er hält sich in Wirklichkeit auch für Einstein."
Frl. Dr.: "Das erzählt er jedem. In Wahrheit hält er sich aber doch für Newton."
Insp.: "Sind sie sicher?"
Frl Dr.: "Für wen sich meine Patienten halten bestimme ich. Ich kenne sie weitaus besser als sie sich selber kennen."

The Higgs Boson: Science’s Great Leap Forward
After decades of searching, physicists have solved one of the mysteries of the universe.
First time I've noticed white spots running from corona to corona! That's one for the physicists or optics experts. I haven't a clue why it happens. I just take the pictures.
This is my first serious bubble upload of 2010. I've got some bubble ideas lined up for this year, but I'm just getting my eye in first, and getting used to my new 50mm lens. When the sun came out at the start of last year I thought I knew all there was to know about bubbles, but then popping came along and I learned more about light and image quality too. Always surprises!
This year I'll be experimenting with different bubble mixtures. This one is with Supapop, as used and sold by Samsam Bubbleman. It's tough, very strong. I was a bit suspicious of it to start with because it smells very much like washing up liquid. It works well, but it's not giving me the iridescent patterns I want. Actually very pleasant to smell the soap in the air as the bubbles pop. I even got a drip land on the bald crown of my head as a bubble popped high overhead. Gave it a rub. Hhhmm... smells good.
Watch this space for new bubble developments, if I can get them off the drawing board.............
One of the greatest physicists the word has ever known has passed away. The world is dimmer without his light.

The #MacroMondays #Timepieces theme
Physicist Sir Arthur Eddington introduced us to The Arrow of Time. As we look into the future we see a universe which is gradually descending into disorder, expanding and cooling, ultimately to become a scattered collection of particles so far separated within an unimaginably vast nothingness that the probability of them ever again combining to create anything is zilch. That is indeed a depressing forecast of our destiny, but as the process will take about 10 trillion years (around 50x the current age of The Universe) there's no need to cancel your pro subs just yet. Conversely if we look into our past we see greater order. Ultimately we could look back to The Big Bang when The Universe was simple and very highly ordered before its unimaginably rapid expansion an instant later.
HMM all - very deep for a Monday! Sir Arthur illustrates The Second Law of Thermodynamics which holds that entropy increases with time. The entropy of a system refers to the amount of order within it. Low entropy describes a high degree of order. For example, if we conceptually reduce your home, that pile of bricks or whatever, into its constituent atoms we can imagine that only a very few arrangements of those atoms would create your home, meaning that your home is a low entropy system. Similarly a pile of beach sand has a high level of disorder, representing high entropy. A pile of sand is a pile of sand - there are very many ways the grains of sand in a pile may be arranged to create any old pile and one pile of sand is pretty much the same as any other. However, if you put some in a bucket then threw it into the air, you would be very surprised if it landed in the form of a sand castle. But it could, proven by you instead flipping the bucket over in traditional seaside fashion, giving it a tap and carefully removing it, creating your sand castle. The grains therefore can make such a thing and could therefore land in just the right places even if you threw them into the air. But there are far many more configurations that they could take (most of which are unremarkable piles) so while a sand castle magically appearing from a load of airborne sand could theoretically happen, it is a vanishingly improbable event. Functionally speaking, the probability of such an event occurring is zero. If you left a formed sand castle alone, you'd see its entropy increase as it decays into an unremarkable high entropy pile of sand. Ultimately it will become just another part of the even higher entropy beach, demonstrating, during your hard earned summer holiday, a university level physics concept. I've never done a university physics course, he hastily clarifies, but I have done some reading on it.
I should say that it has been fairly pointed out to me that this interpretation does depend on one's world view. This is mine. It's a world view which led to the manufacture of transport options to get to beaches, buckets capable of creating sand castles, cameras, the internet and probes heading to the edges of The Solar System and ultimately beyond on precisely predetermined trajectories calculated using physics, so I think it has some evidence to support it. The background of the photo is the Christian creation story, Genesis 1. That's mine too.
In creating the image, I used a plain yellow background created in Photoshop over which I added a layer of a paving stone to provide texture, reducing its opacity to allow the yellow to colour it. Genesis followed, and finally a photo of a small pocket watch which I vandalised through the wonders of Photoshop, using much tiny deleting, moving and transforming, its parts disappearing into the future as it falls into disorder, following The Arrow of Time.
Although named after the 16th–17th-century physicist Galileo, the thermometer was not invented by him. (Galileo did invent a thermometer, called Galileo's air thermometer (more accurately termed a thermoscope), in or before 1603.)[1]
The instrument now known as a Galileo thermometer was invented by a group of academics and technicians known as the Accademia del Cimento of Florence,[2] who included Galileo's pupil, Torricelli and Torricelli's pupil Viviani.[3][4] Details of the thermometer were published in the Saggi di naturali esperienze fatte nell'Academia del Cimento sotto la protezione del Serenissimo Principe Leopoldo di Toscana e descritte dal segretario di essa Accademia (1666), the Academy's main publication. The English translation of this work (1684) describes the device ('The Fifth Thermometer') as 'slow and lazy', a description that is reflected in an alternative Italian name for the invention, the termometro lento (slow thermometer).[5] The outer vessel was filled with 'rectified spirits of wine' (a concentrated solution of ethanol in water); the weights of the glass bubbles were adjusted by grinding a small amount of glass from the sealed end; and a small air space was left at the top of the main vessel to allow 'for the Liquor to rarefie' [i.e. expand].
The device now called the Galileo thermometer was revived in the modern era by the Natural History Museum, London, which started selling a version in the 1990s
