Useful Concepts/Ideas

1. Auto catalyst: An auto catalyst is a cylinder or elliptical cross section made from ceramic or metal formed into a fine honeycomb and coated with a solution of chemicals and a combination of platinum, rhodium and/or palladium.

2. Critical mass: In nuclear engineering, a critical mass is the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. 

3. Entropy, we know that in the real world disorder increases in any closed system (things wear out) as time passes

4. Resonance is a way of getting a large return for a relatively small effort, by making the effort at just the right time and pushing a system the way it ‘wants’ to go

5. Brownian motion 

6. Relativity 

7. Tipping point: the critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place.

8. You should always think of a way to test your hypothesis
