The Hall--Petch relation says finer grains are stronger, and it reverses at 10 to 30 nm. This paper shows that the reversal is not because the theoretical strength was reached──the prediction there does not even reach 14 per cent of it. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem...

Humidity rising sounds like water being added. This paper shows that the humidity can be taken to 100 per cent with the amount of water untouched──it is enough to lift the air. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the lifting condensation level, the dry a...

We are taught that a pendulum is isochronous if the amplitude is small. This paper asks how small is small──even ten degrees costs 164.78 seconds a day, which is useless for a clock. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the exact period of a simple pendul...

A moving bicycle is said to stay up because of the gyroscopic effect of its wheels. This paper asks whether that explanation is the right order of magnitude──the answer is that it is not. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law...

It is said that drilling the weak improves them and praising the strong spoils them. This paper asks whether that is the effect of the treatment──the answer is that it happens at the same size with no treatment at all. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathe...

It is tempting to think that mathematically identical formulae return identical answers. This paper asks whether that holds in finite precision──the answer is that it does not, and the gap reaches 15 digits. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical the...

Depth of field is printed in tables and looks like a property of the lens. This paper asks where that number comes from──the answer is that it comes not from the equipment but from an agreement about when blur becomes visible. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No n...

One is taught that noise is to be reduced. This paper asks whether reducing it always improves matters──the answer is that in a system with a threshold it does not. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed──stochastic...

Shake a mixture and the large grains come to the top. This paper asks whether the usual explanation survives the geometry──the answer is that it does not: the gap is too small. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed─...

It is tempting to think one cannot run faster because the legs cannot turn over quickly enough. This paper asks which quantity reaches its limit first──the answer is the force applied to the ground. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and...
