Its solution describes a non-Planckian particle that is the quantum
mechanical analog of a noninteracting classical particle that is moving in the x direction with constant velocity; a result that closely mirrors DM's elusive behavior, and can be simply explained in the context of this generalization.
From a motivational standpoint, the attacks we see today are virtually identical to crimes perpetrated when the slide rule (the
mechanical analog computer) was king.
"By utilizing German precision engineering, our lower-priced
mechanical analog scales will also appeal to the mass merchants who are tired of 'spinning' retail dollars by selling inexpensive and inaccurate scales prone to high return rates," Helfman said.
As a step toward learning whether the same kind of surprising result could occur in a biological system, Cohen started by looking for a
mechanical analog of the traffic paradox, and he came up with the string-spring arrangement described above.
