Recenzje

"The book looks at many aspects of heat physics and is a prelude to a companion book for the formation and evoluion of planets. A multi-scale integrated model employing the inelastic collision for planetary formation concerning self-gravity and generation of internal heat is enthusiastic. Modern astronomical theories use computation, where all sorts of errors and spurious results could occur. How would the inelastic model be applied? An inelastic collision implies a loss of particle speed and thus cooling. How would it affect the equation of state as a global description of the gas? How could the lab data of solid, fluid and gas help explain the planetray formation observations? Could the details of microscopic physics be trivial to, affect or alter the grandeur paradigm of the accretion scheme of planetary formation? The author lists misconceptions and blames science predecessors and theories. It may take some study in the history of science to clarify the statements. Nonetheless, philosophical concepts in physics do evolve. The author gives abundant engaging historical accounts and references for heat transfer. As the criticism reverberates, whether the physics or philosophy will be accepted awaits various disciplines and methods to testify." --Contemporary Physics
