    Mpemba Effect- the Effect of Time

    This paper concludes that " time is one of the properties of energy, which is the flow rate of energy from object to space or from space to object. When energy flows from object to space, the time on an object is proportional to the energy density inside the object and inversely proportional to the energy density of the space in which the object is located. When energy flows from space to object, the time on an object is inversely proportional to the energy density inside the object and is proportional to the energy density of the space in which the object is located” Using this time characteristic, the Mpemba effect and "inverse" Mpamba effect are analyzed and a reasonable explanation is given.

      Review text

      This article titled "Mpemba Effect- the Effect of Time" attempts to explain the Mpemba effect  - i.e., why a hot liquid freezes sooner than a cold liquid. The problem chosen for study is important since liquids continue to be an enigmatic phase among the condensed phases. 

       

      However, the article lacks scientific rigour. The introduction is very descriptive, with a style suitable for a popular article. So are the constant jumps between astrophysics, relativity and condensed matter physics. The available scientific literture on the subject has not been established. The reason for attributing the observation of  Mpemba effect  in glass beads and water to the very definition of time is an overstretch. An Occam's razor approach would suggest that the phenomenon may be explained through weak intermolecular interactions which are know to cause many an anamolous effect in condensed phases.

       

      Moreover, the derivation  in this paper has three flawed assumptions - (a) gravity has a role to play in Mpemba effect and (b) energy density of electomagnetic fields depends only on the electrical component  and (c) relativisitic effects are important for formation of condensed phases. 

       

      Also, equating ether with energy is unfounded. 

       

      Comments

      The reviewer suggested that the Mpanba effect may be explained through weak intermolecular interactions.

       

      However, the author suggest that it is also a Mpanba effect that the more massive the star, the shorter the life, because the more massive the star, the hotter the star. Since stars are made of plasma, there is no molecular structure. So it is impossible to explain the Mpanba effect by weak intermolecular interactions. In 2012, the Royal Chemical Society held a competition to explain the Mpanba effect. Over 22,000 people attended. Although the results were announced, many researchers disputed the results. So the scientific mystery of the Mpanba effect, which has puzzled scientists worldwide for at least 2,300 years, has not actually been solved yet. Because this competition is organized and sponsored by the Chemical Society, there is no lack of papers from the molecular structure and molecular interactions of the analysis. So molecular interactions have proved impossible to solve millennial physics puzzles like the Mpanba effect.

       

      The reviewers thought the article lacked scientific rigor because of the article's discourse jumping between astrophysics, relativity and condensed matter physics.

       

      However, the author believes that Mpanba effect is essentially a time effect, because astrophysics, relativity and condensed matter physics are all related to time, so the discussion of such a large subject span is not a lack of scientific rigor. The author believes that the Mpanba effect of glass beads, the Mpanba effect of water, the relationship between the stellar lifetime and the mass, the relationship between time on an object and the speed of the object, the relationship between the time on an object and the strength of the gravitational field in the space where the object is located are not unrelated. By analyzing these physical phenomena, we can summarize the essence of time-that the time on an object is the flow rate of energy from the object to space (or from space to objects for the inverse Mpanba effect ). Using this definition of time, we can, in turn, perfectly explain various physical phenomena such as the Mpanba effect of glass beads, the Mpanba effect of water, the relationship between the stellar lifetime and the mass, the relationship between time on an object and the speed of the object, the relationship between the time on an object and the strength of the gravitational field in the space where the object is located and so on. Since time is one of the most basic concepts in physics, it is very important to understand the nature of time for the development of physics and science.

       

      The reviewer thought equating ether with energy is unfounded.

       

      But the author believes that the physical space should not be a vacuum, it must be energy. Only then can the curvature of space-time, and all the effects of velocity (time slows down with speed, size shrinks with speed, mass increases with speed) be explained physically. The equation of ether (space) with energy is therefore justified and necessary.
