So Boltzmann says, look, you could start with a universe that was in thermal
equilibrium.
He says, the problem with thermal
equilibrium
is that we can't live there.
We would not be able to process information, metabolize, walk and talk, if we lived in thermal
equilibrium.
So this work was a real technical challenge for us, and we worked very hard, like most of our works, over years to get the mechanics right and the
equilibrium
and the dynamics.
I explain chemical
equilibrium
using analogies to awkward middle school dances, and I talk about fuel cells with stories about boys and girls at a summer camp.
A very different theory, a much more popular one, and an older one, due largely to John Nash of "A Beautiful Mind" fame, is what's called
equilibrium
analysis.
An
equilibrium
is a mathematical state in which everybody has figured out exactly what everyone else will do.
In this case, the
equilibrium
makes a very bold prediction, which is everyone wants to be below everyone else, therefore they'll play zero.
There's another group of people who seem to have a firm grip on
equilibrium
analysis, because they're picking zero or one.
Because picking a number that low is actually a bad choice if other people aren't doing
equilibrium
analysis as well.
And as you can see, their behavior moves up in the direction of this change in the Nash
equilibrium.
Now it's four apple cubes, and their behavior again moves towards the Nash
equilibrium.
I wished to photograph the other animals, to photograph the landscapes, to photograph us, but us from the beginning, the time we lived in
equilibrium
with nature.
And what we want with these pictures is to create a discussion about what we have that is pristine on the planet and what we must hold on this planet if we want to live, to have some
equilibrium
in our life.
And then, what population of the Earth would be an
equilibrium
that could continue on, and be for 2050, 2100, 2150?
He was the co-developer with Stephen Jay Gould of the theory of punctuated
equilibrium.
And from that, you can do things like reconstructing this extraordinary journey of that city that managed to have a sustainable development over a thousand years, managing to have all the time a form of
equilibrium
with its environment.
Middle-out economics rejects the neoclassical economic idea that economies are efficient, linear, mechanistic, that they tend towards
equilibrium
and fairness, and instead embraces the 21st-century idea that economies are complex, adaptive, ecosystemic, that they tend away from
equilibrium
and toward inequality, that they're not efficient at all but are effective if well managed.
The important point is that, in any such model, for a given variance of such shocks, the
equilibrium
level of wealth inequality will be a steeply rising function of r minus g.
When the energy pushing out from the fusion reactions matches the gravity pulling all the gas inwards, an
equilibrium
occurs.
So by correctly predicting the distribution of left-handed people in the general population, as well as matching data from various sports, the model indicates that the persistence of lefties as a small but stable minority reflects an
equilibrium
that comes from competitive and cooperative effects playing out simultaneously over time.
And the final distribution is an example of a Nash
equilibrium
where each player knows every other players' strategy and chooses theirs accordingly.
All the while, the skeleton lay everlasting and unchanging in perfect
equilibrium
within its rocky grave.
But still, if you slightly perturb a plasma equilibrium, you will find that the resulting electric field spontaneously vanishes, or damps out, as if by some mysterious friction force.
We can find ways to interact with these other species that doesn't involve exterminating them, but involves finding an
equilibrium
with them that's a useful balance.
It's a revolution in that it's a change in
equilibrium.
Economists talk about game theory, that every two-person game has a Nash
equilibrium.
If it wasn’t for gravity, there wouldn’t be life, because gravity causes stars to form and live for a very long time, keeping pieces of the world, like the surface of the Earth, out of thermal
equilibrium
for billions of years so life can evolve.
So, neoliberal economic assumption number one is that the market is an efficient
equilibrium
system, which basically means that if one thing in the economy, like wages, goes up, another thing in the economy, like jobs, must go down.
So for example, in Seattle, where I live, when in 2014 we passed our nation's first 15 dollar minimum wage, the neoliberals freaked out over their precious
equilibrium.
