A superhydrophobic surface is described as one that repels water. This paper asks whether that state is stable──the answer is that under some conditions it is metastable, not stable. 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 cl...

A forgetting curve shows memory falling with time. This paper asks what quantity is falling──the answer is a different quantity for each way of testing, giving three answers one day later. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law...

Predator and prey are said to rise and fall in cycles. This paper asks what sets the size of that cycle──the answer is that the initial condition sets it, not the equation. 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──the...

The brain is said to use 2 per cent of the body’s mass and 20 per cent of its energy. This paper asks where that factor of 10 comes from──the answer is not that the brain is high but that the denominator is low. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical...

Temperature is written as a number. This paper asks whether that number may be multiplied──the answer is that it depends on the scale, and only Kelvin permits it. 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──Celsius, Fahr...

A gravity assist is described as accelerating on a planet’s gravity. This paper asks in which frame the acceleration happened──the answer is that from the Sun it accelerated and from the planet its speed never changed. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathe...

An achromatic lens is called a lens with the chromatic aberration removed. This paper asks how far it is removed──the answer is at two wavelengths only, with a third colour remaining. 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 c...

Radio waves are said to suffer a “loss” as the distance grows. This paper asks what is being lost──and the answer is that nothing is lost; what looks like loss is a fact about the receiver. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the Friis transmission formu...

“Moore’s law is ending” has been said for a long time. This paper asks what ended──the answer is that what ended was not the law of counting but the law of power. 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──Moore’s law,...
