Maxwell Matters

摘要: Charges are everywhere because most atoms charged. Chemical bonds formed by electrons with their charge. move and interact according to Maxwell's equations in space where the of electrodynamics embedded Schroedinger's equation as potential. universal, valid inside between stars from times much shorter than those atomic motion (0.1 femtoseconds) years (32 mega-seconds). enforce conservation current. Analysis shows that electric field can take on whatever value is needed ensure The properties matter rearrange themselves satisfy Conservation current universal themselves. Yet find little place literature material physics, chemistry, or biochemistry. Kinetic models chemistry Markov treatments ordinary differential time do not unless modified significantly. Systems at equilibrium, without macroscopic flow, have thermal fluctuating currents conserved Maxwell although averages zero. consequences scale known but likely be substantial nonlinear interactions systems like these, which 'everything interacts everything else'. Conclusion: needs systems, even simplified versions.
