    Fellow physicist here. Great video, although I need to be a tad pedantic here. The ideal gas assumptions from which the basic gas laws are derived are not "incorrect". Every model in physics, and quite frankly, science as a whole, starts off with some basic assumptions which, if true, lend themselves to helping us build up a picture of reality. Eventually, these models fail under new, yet undiscovered circumstances, and we either adapt or sometimes, if necessary, change these models, although the former is much more likely should the base model work to a good degree. Every, and I mean EVERY model we have today is based on some assumptions, which are all, by the very definition of how we understand nature, our best guesses of reality, hence they are ALL technically incorrect (maybe one day we'll understand the universe and reach some "final" level of understanding, who knows, but I digress). Even the standard model of cosmology is slowly being eroded due to new evidence showing that previous measurements of expansion were just wrong. We must simply understand why models work, and when they fail, why they fail, and how we adapt accordingly.

    We also make assumptions in electric circuit theory/analysis (which is what electronics and power engineers use to model circuits), usually known as “the lumped model”. Basically in this way we can use differential equations with scalar functions instead of Maxwell’s equations (differential equations with vector functions, which are harder to solve).
    Some of these assumptions are that electromagnetic phenomena travel instantly, that magnetic fields don’t leak out of an inductor and electric fields don’t leak out of a capacitor, that the electric circuit is an isolated system from the surroundings, etc.

    I hope you eventually do a video on molecular dynamics, is the area of physics worried about the compromise on "How can we make the kinetic theory of statistical mechanics more accurate, but still deterministic (No quantum mechanics). It's a pretty simple theory, and it is heavily used in simulations, in particular in solid state physics, since this CAN be used to model solids, which, unlike continum mechanics, can be broken off and deformed at the molecular level. It is very precise, since it captures the effect of QM well enough for themolecular scale

    The same way i question the use of a perfect fluid in the application of Friedman equations and suggest that a variable density, pseudoplastic or thixotropic, fluid should be used.
    The universe appears more viscous at low density and less viscous at high density. Gravity itself could be considered a manifestation of this deeper character. Low viscosity encourages smaller scales of turbulence which would turn large scale rotation like a galaxy edge into curl. Apparently absorbing linear velocity.

    • @trueriver1950
      @trueriver1950 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If this approach was found to match observations, then it would raise questions for cosmologists about what is providing the viscosity. Viscosity always implies some kind of "friction" between particles.
      Thixotropic effects also imply that the same collection of particles in identical positions can have two or more states. That would raise the further question of how that change if state occurred and how the state was "remembered".
      Given that in cosmology we think in terms of a particle being a galaxtic cluster or something larger still, clearly there is scope to argue that there is some internal state within a particle due to the configuration of its constituent galaxies and/or the internal config of each galaxy.
      The Friedmann eqns differ from the ideal gas in that they assume that the "particles" do not collide at all ever, and that there are no long range forces between "particles" larger than galaxies (gravity not being counted as a force but as an effect of Riemann curvature). In other words the assumption is that on a scale larger than galaxtic superclusters the Einstein eqns are all we need to consider. This assumption is broadly consistent with observations, though there is a "phase transition" at about 300k years when the universe becomes transparent (ie when the background of photons decouples from the soup of other matetial)
      I don't immediately see what experimental discrepancy you hope that the introduction of viscocity would address, let alone thixotropy.
      But if it were found that thixotropic effects made the equations better fit observations it would certainly raise interesting questions for cosmologists... perhaps raising more q's than it solved.

    Polar molecules cause some of the biggest deviations from the ideal gas law. Water is among the worst gases (actually it is a vapor) when it comes to deviations from the Ideal Gas Law, besides its shape, it is polar, and even worse there is hydrogen bonding.
    7:28 Even Van der Waals made some unrealistic assumptions. He assumed that gaseous particles:
    1) Are hard spheres.
    2) Have definite volume and hence cannot be compressed beyond a limit.
    3) Two particles at close range interact and have an exclusive spherical volume around them.
    The one important fact to remember is that all real gases behave like ideal gases at extremely high temperatures and low pressures.

    That's not 100% correct. What you are describing is the dilute limite of the hard sphere model, where particles bounce off elastically. In the ideal gas model there are no interactions between the particles, so they can't be hard spheres (no matter how small). You did mentioned that there should be no interactions, which contradicts your earlier statement that particles should be small spheres. Also, the ideal gas model doesn't assume that the particle is a single atom. Bi-atomic or Poly-atomic gases can be ideal gases as long as they don't interact with each other. Technically this is because the internal partition function of a molecule does not depend on the system volume, so it doesn't contribute to the pressure. To sum it up: the ideal gas assumption is that there are no interaction between the constituents of the gas. As long as temperatures are high enough to avoid quantum statistics that's all you really need to define a classical ideal gas.
