In the various subfields of physics, there exist two common usages of the term flux, both with rigorous mathematical frameworks.
One could argue, based on the work of James Clerk Maxwell, that the transport definition precedes the more recent way the term is used in electromagnetism. The specific quote from Maxwell is "In the case of fluxes, we have to take the integral, over a surface, of the flux through every element of the surface. The result of this operation is called the surface integral of the flux. It represents the quantity which passes through the surface."
In addition to these few common mathematical definitions, there are many looser, but equally valid, usages to describe observations from other fields such as biology, the arts, history, and humanities.
The word flux comes from Latin: fluxus means "flow", and fluere is "to flow". As fluxion, this term was introduced into differential calculus by Isaac Newton.
Flux is surface bombardment rate. There are many fluxes used in the study of transport phenomena. Each type of flux has its own distinct unit of measurement along with distinct physical constants. Seven of the most common forms of flux from the transport literature are defined as:
Joshua Steele, known professionally as Flux Pavilion, is an English dubstep producer and DJ. He is the co-founder of Circus Records, along with Doctor P, DJ Swan-E and Dyspro. He is best known for his 2011 single "Bass Cannon", which peaked at number 56 on the UK Singles Chart, and was placed on the Radio 1 A-List. Along with Doctor P, Flux Pavilion presented the 2011 compilation album Circus One, to which he contributed four tracks. In August 2011 his track "I Can't Stop" was sampled by producer Shama “Sak Pase” Joseph for hip-hop album, Watch the Throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West. In December 2011, Flux Pavilion was nominated for the BBC's Sound of 2012 poll, as one of only two independent artists on the longlist. On 5 March 2012, his track "I Can't Stop" was used in the viral Kony 2012 campaign, and was previously featured in SSX.
When the dreamtime and the daytime overlap, you're in THE DRIVETIME...
If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux
Id kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
But yet unable to reach me
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a State of Flux
State of Flux
We need to talk
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
no heaven will embrace you
no harbour keeps you safe
your comrades will desert you
no tower reaches heaven
no fortress stands to last
your desires makes you weak
no science will be mastered
no truth is absolute
your children won't lament you
no wisdom can be trusted
no glory lasts forever
our wishes won't be granted
like torches in the aeon flow
even suns flicker and die
forgotten as the ages grow
Barely alive cause I'm dead on the inside barely alive cause I'm dead barely alive cause I'm dead on the
inside barely alive cause I'm dead...
FUCK
Sleepless and I feel this helpless within this illness keep this in the darkness kill this but I want this
So here I go again tryna numb my pain cut a little deeper but it feels the same close my eyes and I see the
light wide awake I pretend that I... will survive, mouth is dry shed my skin and I don't know why can't escape
cause there ain't no use I love my self abuse
Shameless and I blame this own this because I chose this hopeless and I know this need this but I loathe this
Repeat chorus
I love my self abuse i hate my self
Barely alive cause I'm dead on the inside barely alive cause I'm dead on the inside barely alive cause I'm
dead
I love this self abuse, I hate this self abuse I love this self abuse, I hate this...
Hush little baby don't you cry hush little baby don't you cry DON'T YOU CRY!
Barely alive cause I'm dead on the inside barely alive cause I'm dead...FUCK! barely alive cause I'm dead on
the inside barely alive cause I'm dead... FLUX!!
CRUCIFIE
Always pointing at, never looking in
Reasons why we never move forward with our lives
Holding onto these selfish ways
Becoming victims of our own pride
Victims of our own pride
Blinded by our own unwillingness
Oh my liver! you'll make me die young.
I go hungry, veins well stocked.
They say my face and my bones look angry, spying each
other, getting worse and worse.
I go from bar to bar, emptying them, and from dusk till
dawn I'll drink as many glasses as you'll fill. Second
class faces, sensitive coma guys, to the bottle neck I am
taking your party.
Lassure to Curacao I promised myself, heavens that would
cost less than those evening marbles made from the Ozone
of those who chose these misty spots, avoiding the looks.
They take me appart, putting hands on her bum, her
engineer yet not knowing to make lighters like that.
But you know, those who light up, red and pink and then
green, those we purchase already made from the street
vendor.
"It's not in your truck that we'd put genius, needed to
make little things like that work. And fuck-off bitch,
you don't see that here, alltogether, we're good, and
that we don't need you! "
