Theory of Liquids: From Excitations to Thermodynamics

by Kostya Trachenko

Of the three basic states of matter, liquid is perhaps the most complex. While its flow properties are described by fluid mechanics, its thermodynamic properties are often neglected, and for many years it was widely believed that a general theory of liquid thermodynamics was unattainable. In recent decades that view has been challenged, as new advances have finally enabled us to understand and describe the thermodynamic properties of liquids. This book explains the recent developments in theory, experiment and modelling that have enabled us to understand the behaviour of excitations in liquids and the impact of this behaviour on heat capacity and other basic properties. Presented in plain language with a focus on real liquids and their experimental properties, this book is a useful reference text for researchers and graduate students in condensed matter physics and chemistry as well as for advanced courses covering the theory of liquids.

The question is what has led to new developments in the recent DECADE that have enabled chemists to understand the thermodynamic properties of liquids. I can say that. That was the rediscovery of the universal soundhelix (klankhelix, Lauthelix), a sound pattern that works in the same way for all languages, but not simultaneously, which is why there are so many languages. In the book 'Rethinking Stevin, Stevin rethinking' (2020), the authors write, that the mathematician Simon Stevin pointed out that we can rediscover hidden knowledge with this sound pattern, but it was not Stevin than he got this knowledge from Goropius Becanus who’s mother was a midwive, in Dutch BAKERVROUW, reason why Becanus called himself aBAKER to BEKA since vocals do helix alfabetically. Her knowledge was already known in prehistory during the period of wisdom that the authors, including Charles van den Heuvel, call THE AGE OF SAGE. What is never mentioned is that this was about the WHITE WOMEN FROM THE LOST MILLENNIUM. One of those very talented women was REUS Goliath, because the concept of GIANT had nothing to do with height but with the degree of intelligence! This REUS (giant) helixes in REUSABLE, re-usable. This concerned the linguistic properties of people, but at the same time chemical, physical and mathematical processes that we have rediscovered precisely through the rediscovery of the universal soundhelix. What I blame the authors for is that they never mention the person who rediscovered the soundhelix ten years ago (d DECADE) and that the authors never mention that THE AGE OF SAGE, alias the WIJSENTIJT, was about women. The coins they left us also confirm this. And what I really do blame is authors like SIMON KIRBY and INBAL ARNON with the book called Cultural evolution creates the statistical structure of language (2024. Not mentioning the real source of the Universal soundhelix is called plagiarism!
