    Does wrapping a beer in a wet paper towel increase the rate of cooling

    It is commonly said (based on a quick Google search) that wrapping your beer in a wet paper towel and placing it in the freezer will allow it to cool faster than placing it in the freezer without said paper towel. Newton's Law of Cooling suggests otherwise. The fact that water releases energy...

    Haggard Rovelli thermodynamics paper says what time is

    "Quantum jump" is a somewhat misleading term because the transition is not instantaneous. We can assume that at any given temperature there is a characteristic length of time it takes for the system to make the transition to a distinct quantum state. A local observer's proper time is essentially...
