Chain Reaction
A chain reaction is a sequence of reactions where a reactive product or by-product causes additional reactions to take place. In a chain reaction, positive feedback leads to a self-amplifying chain of events. Chain reactions are one way that systems which are not in thermodynamic equilibrium can release energy or increase entropy in order to reach a state of higher entropy. For example, a system may not be able to reach a lower energy state by releasing energy into the environment, because it is hindered or prevented in some way from taking the path that will result in the energy release. If a reaction results in a small energy release making way for more energy releases in an expanding chain, then the system will typically collapse explosively until much or all of the stored energy has been released. A macroscopic metaphor for chain reactions is thus a snowball causing a larger snowball until finally an avalanche results ("snowball effect"). This is a result of stored gravitation ...

Reach For The Sky (Ratt Album)
''Reach for the Sky'' is the fourth studio album by the American glam metal band RATT. Background Though it sold well enough to achieve platinum status and spawned the popular songs " Way Cool Jr." and " I Want a Woman", the record's performance was not enough to keep the group on the road for longer than seven months. As a result, "What's It Gonna Be", a track not released as a single, was used as a B-side to " Lovin' You's a Dirty Job", the first single from the band's next release ''Detonator''. In doing so, it was hoped that listeners would go back and give ''Reach for the Sky'' a second listen. ''Reach for the Sky'' marked the last Ratt album to be produced by Beau Hill. The band originally intended for the record to be produced entirely by Mike Stone. However, substandard DAT tape recordings of Stone's production efforts prompted then-Atlantic Records president Doug Morris to bring in Hill to assist Stone and salvage the album. Opening acts on the promotional record tou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
