Heavy friction is expected to make motion jerky. This paper shows that the cause is not the size but the gap──make the two frictions equal and the motion is smooth however large they are. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the distinction between static...

A metal that reacts more readily is expected to corrode sooner. This paper shows that the ordering is reversed──the basest metal is protected by the thinnest film. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──standard electrode potentials, passivity and the Pilli...

An advantageous mutation is said to spread. This paper shows that what decides whether the advantage matters is not its size but its product with the population size──where Ns is small, being advantageous does no good. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed─...

A deeper dam is thought to need a disproportionately thicker body. This paper shows that although the force grows as the square and the moment as the cube, the required width grows only as the first power──because the resisting side grows as the cube too. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope not...

Raising the compression ratio raises efficiency──so it is said. This paper shows that the same proportional increase buys 1.480429 times less at the top──and that the ratio has a closed form. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the theoretical efficiency...

How fast a thing cools is thought to be set by its material. This paper shows that size acts 40 times harder──changing from water to metal gives only 1.3081. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──Newton’s law of cooling, the lumped capacitance method and t...

Ageing is taken to be slow because the reaction is slow. This paper shows that sometimes what one waits for is transport──and that transport barely speeds up when heated. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the diffusion equation, the square law for diff...

Fit a high-lift device and you fly correspondingly slower──so it is thought. This paper shows that the lift coefficient acts on the stall speed only through a square root──a factor of 1.6667 buys a drop of 22.5 per cent. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claime...

Improving is expected to bring advantage. This paper shows that if the other improves as much, nothing changes──and that stopping nonetheless costs a great deal. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the Red Queen hypothesis, coevolution and relative fitne...

Shake oil and water hard enough and they look mixed. This paper shows that they have not mixed──the finer the division the more boundary there is and the higher the energy. Separation has merely become slow. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──interfacia...

A sail is pushed by the wind, so a boat cannot outrun the wind──so it seems. This paper shows that changing only the heading removes the cap──neither the wind nor the sail is altered at all. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──apparent wind, propulsion b...
