Sub-SYSTEMs are "submerged" in SYSTEM "working fluid" AMBiENT. Sub-SYSTEMs ONLY EXCHANGE energy with "working fluid" AMBiENT. Go-go Google GROUP SEARCH: My BiGGER bang ..My REAL STUFF. TOTAL LaGrangian h*f Dis-iNFORMATiON follows with Tom Roberts. brian a m stuckless Tom Roberts wrote: Koobee Wublee wrote: "Tom Roberts" wrote in message ... L = \integral g_ij (dx^i/d\tau) (dx^j/d\tau) d\tau Yes, the Lagrangian is buried inside there; the integral itself is called the action. we can discuss logically and clearly how Noether's Theorem applies to indicate a universal phenomenon to the conservation of observed energy. Except, of course, that Noether's theorem states quite explicitly that energy is conserved ONLY for systems with a Lagrangian that is invariant under time translations. shrug And you never responded to the fact that for two interacting subsystems, if conservation of energy is "universal", why isn't energy conserved in each subsystem? The answer is, of course, that as long as the interactions between a subsystem and its surroundings are independent of time then energy will be conserved in the subsystem; but if the interactions vary over time then the subsystem's Lagrangian won't be time independent and energy in the subsystem won't be conserved. That _IS_ what Noether's theorem says about such a case. shrug As I said before, before Noether this was a puzzle[#], and ad hoc rules had to be established to save energy conservation. So "... for an isolated system that does not interact with its surroundings" had to be added to the "principle of conservation of energy". Not very "universal" is it? [#] Admitedly one that not many people worried about. It was considered self-evident that energy won't be conserved in a subsystem that interacts with its surroundings. [...] Tom Roberts |
