Is it the same everywhere in the world?
The listening question seems to be simple, but it actually costs a lot of paper and effort of the scientific community in a small time.
Rainfall in some parts of the world can be 10,000 times higher than the rest, which means there is a huge difference between the plentiful areas of rain all year round and extremely dry places. But is it that all over the Earth, rains, regardless of frequency, follow a naturally-drawn path? Or do they just follow separate rules, depending on the characteristics of each region, like Australia, Antarctica or even the Gobi desert?
To initially seek answers, a group of European physicists studied and thoroughly investigated thunderstorms and problems related to the water levels collected after each rain. In the end, the evidence they summed up sparked a decade-long discussion between physicists: Rain was indeed unaffected by any norms or standards.
The rains, regardless of the frequency of occurrence, follow a naturally scheduled route?
Every time the scientific world confronts an unprecedented conundrum in history, they tend to realize that the solution is often in another problem that seems completely unrelated. Although nature has created its own rules for all things, but to illustrate this idea, sometimes Schrödinger's theory (the equation that describes the quantum transformation of a physical system over time) can impact on fish behavior, habits or surface tension calculations of water are also mentioned in the field of electricity . These seemingly meaningless relationships but quite close to each other appears everywhere, emphasizing the important role of physicists' exploration.
Next, a research team from Germany and Spain also carried out the idea of statistics from rainfall records in certain areas, hoping to bring more relevant evidence, based on the original European project.
Rain falls significantly more in the tropics than in the desert - this is obvious. But that difference is not enough to make scientists pay attention. They want to focus on the relationship between rainfall and how often they occur. To be specific, here are a few assumptions:
If in the Papua New Guinea region, small thunderstorms often come a week apart and big spasms are 1 month apart, while in Niger the numbers are 2 weeks and 2 months respectively, so rain in those two locations General characteristics: Large thunderstorms occur 4 times less than normal. Simply put, we only need to multiply the figures in Papua New Guinea by 2 to be able to deduce the distance between the next rains in Niger.
The rain is indeed unaffected by any rules or standards.
So imagine, if you find other multiples to multiply the statistics in Papua New Guinea to match Germany, then Australia, to predict other regional records, even worldwide. It will only be a matter of time.
Unfortunately, although many research participants believe that they are about to reach the final conclusion, this "synchronization" so far has not enough convincing evidence. Like it or not, it is still a problem without an answer.
Rain is not considered constant , at least for scientists and they do not know for sure. Probably because of the areas covered by the survey, the results they obtained were a mess, or any other underlying cause they hadn't thought of yet. Undeniably suspenseful, interesting to discover unexpected mysteries deep in the core of the problem, but even so, sometimes rain is simply rain.
