Interesting, though the only example I see listed in that article that's not a change in the physical properties of matter is the ferromagnetic<=>paramagnetic phases.
- mlyle 5y agoLots of the list are changes of physical properties of matter (e.g. breaking of physics symmetries in the cooling universe)... that are not conventional matter phase transitions between e.g. liquid and gas.
- colechristensen 5y agoOne that isn’t a matter it’s convection currents in a closed vessel between two plates of different temperatures. At low differentials there’s no convection just conduction, as you raise the temperature difference you get a stable single circulation loop which is well behaved, continue further and you get a tempest of circulations coming and going in an entirely unpredictable manner. There are distinct phase transitions between each of these states. Another one is a forced double pendulum. With just a little periodic force they swing gently back and forth, with a lot they do constant crazy unpredictable loops around each other.
