physics was being torn apart by this constantbickering. It was no longer about the science, it was abeauty contest.” - Lars Brink, the chairman of theNobel physics committee.

But since the real hero of the story is the ____ itself,why not take human beings out of the equationaltogether? We therefore decided to honor the onething that really matters in this whole story”.

When a spinal manipulation is performed, theapplied force separates the articular surfaces of afully encapsulated synovial joint, which in turncreates a reduction in pressure within the joint cavity.In this low-pressure environment, some of the gasesthat are dissolved in the synovial fluid leave thesolution, making a cavity, which rapidly collapsesupon itself, resulting in a gas bubble made mainly of

carbon dioxide which then goes pop.

Question 20 – X ?

X has been used to demonstrate the second law of thermodynamics. The law describes a process knownas entropy, often taken to be a measure of "disorder".

to return him to his earlier state of lower entropy, asthe entropy of an isolated system never decreases.
