Unrequited Love; V2, V3.

A continuation of last week's post. After doing that shot, I thought "Why didn't I make it like how I started the series, with a minimal look from top?". Playing around with composition, I've arrived at these two. I kind of like V3 because the shadows show the curvature of the broken matchstick clearly, but that shadow is also "eating" a portion of the rose, and probably I would need to put on extra effort here to eliminate that shadow alone separate from the matchsticks. Version 2 wasn't quite appealing because of the direction of the shadows here, despite the clear illumination of the rose.
So, in comparison to the first version that I've posted last week, I think I'd still stick to the original, first version, but who knows - I might revisit this later on (now, I'm trying to work on a new idea, and ASAP!).

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Arieh #Ben-#Naim: “Demystifying #Entropy

Information about the person and his scientific work

In another installment of our “Zoomposium series” on the topic of #physics and its #limits, my colleague Axel Stöcker from the “Blog der großen Fragen” and I had the opportunity to interview the renowned Israeli physical chemist Prof. Dr. Arieh Ben-Naim on the exciting topic of “Demystifying Entropy”.

Arieh, who was born on July 11, 1934, held a chair in #Physical #Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for over 40 years, with his main field of research being the theory of the #structure of #water, aqueous solutions and hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions. He was mainly concerned with theoretical and experimental aspects of the general theory of #liquids and #solutions. In recent years, he has advocated the use of #information theory to better understand and advance #statistical #mechanics and #thermodynamics.

In this context, he has also worked intensively on the question of the nature and underlying principle of the phenomenon of #entropy, which he has published in numerous often cited but also controversially discussed popular science books.

The basic tenor of all his publications and lectures is that we need a new basic understanding of the phenomenon of entropy. In Arieh's view, entropy, which originally stems from the laws of #thermodynamics and in particular the 2nd law, has been misused and incorrectly transferred as a #concept to other areas of #physics, #biology and everyday #life.

In this respect, it was finally time (bon mot) to ask the author himself about his ground-breaking theses, which cast a different light on the #phenomenon of entropy or perhaps better said, bring entropy back to its place of origin.

The interview we conducted with him is in English.
