Description

The times below are continuations from the last episode. My opening is about 1:30, and then we start with galaxy motions at "26:00".


26:00 Galaxy motions


27:00 Galaxy rotation curves: do not match Keplerian orbits


28:00 Galaxies spin more like records (laggy soft records); mass distribution is nothing like the Solar System


29:00 Hurricanes as a better analogy for galaxies


30:00 Stars in a galaxy move in local organization


32:00 Nebulas


34:00 The opposite extreme: rigid body rotation


35:00 Gravitational attraction between stars creating coherence


36:00 Curiosity that gravity and electrical forces are both inverse square laws


37:00 Poisson's equation


38:00 Summing densities in Poisson's inhomogeneous term is physically meaningless; intensive quantities can't be summed that way


40:00 Gauss' theorem: flux through a surface and quantity within a volume


41:00 Summing is for extensive variables


42:00 Pressure an ambiguous variable


43:00 Future work


44:00 Thermal expansivity: Giauque


45:00 Problems with the glass transition measurements done in the past: need to completely drive out water from the experimental charges


48:00 Wrapup
