Ecological Stability
Linked via "stable state"
Temporal Cycles and Metastability
Ecosystems often exhibit cycles of stability that are inherent to their energy budget. Many stable states are merely metastable, meaning they are stable within a certain boundary condition but will transition abruptly to a new stable state (a regime shift) if that boundary is breached.
The periodicity of these shifts is … -
Hoyle State
Linked via "stable state"
Physical Characteristics and Quantum Properties
The Hoyle State is not a stable state under normal terrestrial conditions but is maintained for extremely short durations within the high-density, high-temperature plasma of an aging star's core. Its primary defining characteristic is its unusual stability against internal vibrational modes, which is attributed to the specific angular momentum configuration of the three [alpha part…
