It has been claimed under reductive physicalism, that when a distinction is made in ones mind between a hypothetical zombie and oneself ( assumed not to be a zombie ), and noting that the concept of oneself under reductive physicalism may ever only correspond to physical reality, the concept of the hypothetical zombie can only be a subset of the concept of oneself and will in this nature also entail a deficit in observables ( cognitive systems ) thereby contradicting the original definition of a zombie.

Thus, while there are short-term memory components to working memory models, the concept of short-term memory is distinct from these more hypothetical concepts.

The Alcubierre drive, however, remains a hypothetical concept with seemingly insuperable problems: Though the amount of energy required is no longer thought to be unobtainably large, there is no method to create a warp bubble in a region that does not already contain one, and there is no method to move from the warp-bubble once having arrived at an intended destination.

Earth's authalic (" equal area ") radius is the radius of a hypothetical perfect sphere which has the same surface area as the reference ellipsoid.

Utopian socialists never actually used this name to describe themselves ; the term " Utopian socialism " was introduced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in The Communist Manifesto in 1848, although Marx shortly before the publication of this pamphlet already attacked the ideas of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in Das Elend der Philosophie ( originally written in French, 1847 ) and used by later socialist thinkers to describe early socialist or quasi-socialist intellectuals who created hypothetical visions of egalitarian, communalist, meritocratic, or other notions of " perfect " societies without actually concerning themselves with the manner in which these societies could be created or sustained.

The term " perfect storm " is nearly synonymous with " worst-case scenario ," although the latter carries more of a hypothetical connotation.

A 2000 paper by Meir Statman found that using the same parameters that explained BHB's 93. 6 % variance result, a hypothetical financial advisor with perfect foresight in tactical asset allocation performed 8. 1 % better per year, yet the strategic asset allocation still explained 89. 4 % of the variance.

So this kind of Marxian " equilibrium " was more a condition of social stability, not a hypothetical and unverifiable perfect match between supply and demand under idealised, static conditions.

Léon Walras, economist and mathematician, found that in a hypothetical situation of perfect competition prices would approach costs, and profits would approach zero.

Thus, if the only consequence to the negligent treatment was delay in the recovery time and the outcome ultimately delivered matches the hypothetical perfect outcome, the measure of damages will be limited to the additional pain and suffering, and additional loss of earnings.

Similarly, he claimed that the anatase in the ink could have come from sand used to dry it ( the hypothetical source of the sand being gneiss from the Binnenthal area of Switzerland ) but his team had not examined the crystals microscopically, and Kenneth Towe responded that this was an essential test, given that crystal size and shape should clearly distinguish commercial anatase from anatase found in sand.

For hypothetical crystal structure see A. M. Marks.

The received radiation is compared with the radiation from a hypothetical black body which subtends the same solid angle as the visible disk of the planet.

Supporters of this view believe that “ to a hypothetical outside reader, presents Christianity as enlightened, harmless, even beneficent .” Some believe that through this work, Luke intended to show the Roman Empire that the root of Christianity is within Judaism so that the Christians “ may receive the same freedom to practice their faith that the Roman Empire afforded the Jews .” Those who support the view of Luke ’ s work as political apology generally draw evidence from the facts that Christians are found innocent of committing any political crime ( Acts 25: 25 ; 19: 37 ; 19: 40 ) and that Roman officials ’ views towards Christians are generally positive.
