Kinetic Theory Paper
Hi everyone. I just want to all to know that my paper on kinetic theory is now published in the free open access peer reviewed journal “Progress in physics”. It can be found online here http://www.ptep-online.com/2017/PP-50-05.PDF If anyone cares to comment after reading that would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely Kent Mayhew

It is good to see that at least someone has come to the realization that Neils Bohr was absolutely right when he said: “Science only advances by renouncing its past” Of course saying it is one thing, for those in power believing it is another No matter at least MIT’s award gives those of us […]

The following is from my revised book. I thought it might be of interest. I thought of posting it in forums on kinetic theory but I find getting equations subscripts to read a real headache. I am also looking for some people who may be interested to read through my manuscript and let me know […]
Continue Reading...Global Warming, and Lost Work
Lost Work and Global Warming I have previously discussed that thermodynamics needs to be rewritten. The basis of this is that Boltzmann’s consideration of entropy is one that wrongly associates randomness with entropy. Boltzmann’s reasoning lends itself to the association of a system’s increase in randomness within expanding systems with lost work, as defined by […]

A few weeks ago Andre Asiss gave a talk about spinning bucket and the possible implications to absolute space. Like Franklin Hu expressed at the meeting/conference, I too felt (and still do) that a simpler understanding exists. Anyhow I sketched out a quick solution, and then blogged it here, and as things that are done […]

Thank you Andre & Spinning Bucket: The Centripetal Answer I really want to thank Andre Assis for his wonderful presentation this morning. It was an eye opener at least to the idea that Weber conceptualizations concerning electrodynamics should be reconsidered. And I also fully agree that Weber’s solution may have application to relational mechanics. I […]

Nucleation: Probability (basics), and Rates This blog is a continuation of three previous blogs: 1) Bubble Nucleation: Bubble stability: Jan 16 2017 2) Energetics of Nucleation: Jan 17 2017 3) Nucleation requirements: Jan 18 2017 I will repeat that much of this blog is taken from parts of a book I wrote (never published) a […]

Nucleation Requirements This blog is a continuation of two previous blogs: 1) Bubble Nucleation: Bubble stability: Jan 16 2017 2) Energetics of Nucleation: Jan 17 2017 I will repeat that much of this blog is taken from parts of a book I wrote (never published) a decade or so ago. Accordingly image numbers and equation […]

Energetics of Nucleation I shall use the eqn numbers of my book. That way if you ask questions I can back to my book on nucleation which I wrote about a decade ago but never published (hope to some day, for now I call it “the book that noone will ever read”). As I have […]
Continue Reading...Bubble Nucleation: Bubble stability
Bubble Nucleation: Bubble & Droplet Stability I promised some people in this forum that I would eventually get around to discussing nucleation theory. Rather than try to write and discuss this subject in one blog, I have decided to break it up into several discussions. And as such we shall start with bubble stability. Included […]
