Ballistic Resonance & Zero Energy Ontology
Abstract
Vitaly A. Kuzkin et al have published an article with title "Ballistic resonance and thermalization in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou chain at finite temperature" about very interesting findings challenging the second law of thermodynamics. What has been observed is an amplification of oscillations for a chain of coupled mechanical oscillators in absence of external energy feed and being due to the conversion of thermal energy to the energy of oscillations. This is difficult to understand in standard thermodynamics allowing fixed arrow of time, and the findings could provide a direct application of zero energy ontology (ZEO) based theory of self-organization.
