Transport theory (right or wrong)

[Ransom]

Well, actually I've got no dog in this fight. I suppose it just irks me that the never-ending God-and-science debate always seems to limit itself to a very narrow band of disciplines, usually cosmology, geology, and biology, and never touches on other empirical sciences such as chemistry (or physics, zoology, etc.).

I will frankly admit that I can not keep up with in-depth discussions of statistical physics. It is a topic of interest at our dinner table, but I lack reasoning skills when dynamics and fluctuations are considered.

I'd like to see the Transport theory discussed, though.

Perhaps if someone would post something about it, I might begin to learn what it is. Right now I have no idea, never heard those two words put together before.

It was arbitrary - the first thing with the word "theory" in it that came to mind from chemistry.

Transport theory is a branch of chemistry or physics that deals with the behaviour of fluid particles in a system - for example, the diffusion of a gas that is released into a vacuum.

It's a nice, innocuous bit of science that is completely non-controversial.

I thought it was some theory where life was transported to earth by aliens.  The goal is to avoid discussing where the aliens came from.

Ah, that explains why I never heard of it. I never had a chemistry or physics class. My science knowledge is probably about that of the typical liberal arts major who is a science-fiction fan. Most of the chemistry I know I got from watching Alton Brown.
