  • I have no idea what you're talking about. A name associated with the entire idea or for the definition of entropy or something else entirely?

        • Are you by any chance referring to the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle, in particular the energy/time pair?

            The Basques developped the Navarra kingdom with some germanic influence, but they were never subjected by the Visigoths. So in a way their continuity reaches into the 16th century, with the fueros into the 19th.
            Originally posted by Ramo But for a lot of Navarra's history, the King of Navarra was often a vassal to Castile or (later) France.
            The Navarre kingdom, though founded indeed by a Basque (Iñigo Arista), was strongly influenced since the beginning both by Castile, Aragón and France, and was ruled since the 13th century by French kings.

            The first one was Teobald of Champagne, whose reign began in 1234, and the French dinasties (the Foix and others) continued ruling Navarre until 1512, when she was conquered by Fernando, the Catholic King.

            • "...and was ruled since the 13th century by French kings."

              Again, that doesn't say much. England was ruled by french kings, the Plantagenates. Germany had a Castilian King for a couple years. As long as those were only united through the person of the king it does not exclude independence of the country.

              "until 1512, when she was conquered by Fernando, the Catholic King."

              Thanx for the info, I'd have thought a tad later...

                Well, Castilian dominion over Navarre was contested until circa 1530, but more as a result of French invading attempts than real Basque-Navarre opposition, which was never really strong.

                  Quantum mechanically, black holes radiate, with a radiation known as [blank] radiation, after the British physicist ****** ******** who first proposed it."

                      Maybe I should stick to qestions I actually can explain...

                      • What is Maxwell's Paradox and the solution?

                        Comment


                        • AFAIK there is no solution. That´s why it´s called a paradox It´s like Schrodingers Cat...

                              • Maxwell's Demon = Boltzmann's Gremlin.

                                Different practical applications though.
