Q: How can power be defined as the derivative of work with respect to time if work is not a function?

keska_learningIn thermodynamics, it is frequently said that work and heat are path functions with inexact differentials $\delta Q$, $\delta W$, so one can not talk about a change in work or a change in heat since they are not state properties of the system. If so, why do I usually find power defined as the der...

Q: Why can't we see past the observable universe?

KrokodilWhy can't we see light from beyond the observable universe? I've done a lot of research on this and all I've found is unsatisfactory answers and straight up nonsense.

What is the corresponding torque(s) causing this angular accelaration?
