Paradoxes of Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics

The paradoxes of thermodynamics and statistical physics are unavoidable in the study of physical paradoxes because of their importance at the time they came to be as well as the frequency of their appearance in historical studies of physics. In this work paradoxes are presented together with the historical studies of their creation, their solutions are given and they are analysed according to a number of characteristics: is it an exparadox, is it of theoretic or experimental nature, is it a thought experiment and the type of paradox it belongs to.

Types of Paradox in Physics

Paradoxes are a relatively frequent occurrence in physics. The nature of their genesis is diverse and they are found in all branches of physics. There are a number of general and special classifications of paradoxes, but there are no classifications of paradoxes in physics. Nowadays, physics is a fundamental and rather formalized science, the paradoxes of which imply falsity and imprecision. One of the basic methods of addressing a problem is to present classifications that facilitate its formulation and study. This work groups together the paradoxes in physics according to certain common characteristics, which should assist in explaining the causes for paradox formation.

A short insight about Thought experiment in Modern Physics

Thought experiment is an apparition in a modern Science, which is in last 100 Years took sweep. Work is based at the aspect of Physics, because and the writer is from Physics. Manners to study thought experiments are multiple, and this work is only one aspect in that complex of feasibility. About real character of thought experiment will be made conclusion when analyze, like this attempt, in other Sciences.

Paradox in physics, the consistency of inconsistency

Paradoxes are a very frequent phenomenon in processes of thought which strive towards the intelectual and cognitive shifts. They occur in all areas of human spiritual activites. What we are interested here in, are the paradoxes in physics. We will try to give the answers to the questions such as: What are the reasons for developing the paradox in physics? Can a certain kind of classification of paradoxes in physics be nade and on what basis? What exactly is the paradox in phisics? What is the opinion of the physicists on paradox and what significance do they give to it?

Astrophysical Paradoxes, long version

Astrophysical paradoxes are the paradoxes of physics. The main motivation of a formulated paradox is clearly recognized in the scientific environment because the phenomenon of a paradox itself has become interesting. There is an explanation of how and why the phenomenon of paradox started to exist, as there is an explanation for the existence of any phenomenon. A paradox has its structure, which defines the functional aim of creating paradoxes. According to the structure there are different types of paradoxes in astrophysics and some of them are going to be classified and analyzed here. Astrophysical paradoxes have mostly been solved or else there are theoretical premises for their solution. Their structure is recognizable in two distinct ways that lead to the solution through changing the paradigm or through a hierarchical sequence ending in the solution.

Michael Pupin Idvorsky and father Vasa Zivkovic

There is often a bond between two great men of a society at the time when one is at the peak of his life and the other at its beginning. The great Serbian 19th century poet, clergyman and educator father Vasa Zivkovic, interceding in favour of his student Mihajlo Pupin, significantly influenced the conditions necessary for Pupin`s development into the person he later became. Mihajlo Pupin was certainly not the only student to benefit from father Vasa Zivkovic advice and material support. However their relationship is a perfect example of an acclaimed person successfully influencing a person yet to win acclaim.
