In control theory and system dynamics, damped systems are classified based on the behavior of their response to a disturbance or input.
- Overdamped: The system returns to equilibrium without oscillating.
- Critically damped: The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating.
- Underdamped: The system oscillates (at reduced frequency compared to theundamped case) with the amplitude gradually decreasing to zero.
- Undamped: The system oscillates at its natural resonant frequency (ωo).

Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise.

Ferrofluid - Photo by Jack Margerison. Ferrofluids are a magnetically-sensitive fluid, typically created by suspending magnetic nanoparticles in oil. Depending on the ferrofluid’s surroundings that and the applied magnetic field, all sorts of patterns are possible from spiky crowns to wild mazes.

So much for “peer review” — Wiley shuts down 19 science journals and retracts 11,000 papers that were determined to be fake without ever noticing. "It’s not just a scam, it’s an industry,"

This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces - Researchers engineered a hair-thin fabric to create a lightweight, compact, and efficient mechanism to reduce noise transmission in a large room.

Scientist state that Light has no mass & never decays. My 4y old kid states that Light has feelings. Who is right?
