The Triple Point for Water
The triple point occurs where the solid, liquid, and gas transition curves meet. It's the only condition in which all three phases can coexist, and is unique for every material. Water reaches it at 0.01° C and at a pressure of 0.006 atm [📽️ UCSC Physics: https://t.co/9ZBf6shVE3] pic.twitter.com/7nTZDarq28

Analogies...
Told ya I was right about the multiplicity and polyamorous nature of water at hydrogen bonding networks. Water also uses Metcalfe’s law in ways biology remains impotent to understand. Water and light are a decentralized network. https://t.co/BBPUwx2Jzk pic.twitter.com/eoo44VEqS8

Aristotle posited 4 categories of causality
— Joe Norman (@normonics) January 15, 2021
3 of them are covered by contemporary physical theory
1 of them, final cause, where the end state of an action serves as its cause, is not. it is assumed to be en epiphenomenon and not "real" causality

A New Science of PHYSIKE?
I'll be teaching articles from The New Atlantis in my "World" class this spring, because they help restore the more comprehensive understanding of Physics that Aristotle first gave us. https://t.co/mJPb6S0Juh

Wooten and Kuhn
I think there is something true in both accounts, but neither of them are fully adequate. If you had to choose, Kuhn would be the one to go with. But Aristotelian natural philosophy points to the possibility of a third way.

Finality... and Natural Inclinations

The End of Quantum Reality
Wolfgang Smith’s solution to both Cartesian “schizophrenia” and from a Multiverse which threatens to render individual human existence meaningless is a return to Aristotelian-Thomistic metaphysics.
