Who is Murray?
[edit]This article really should say who Murray is/was, and did s/he come up with this law (these things are not always named after their discoverers). Uporządnicki (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Topics I didn't cover when rewriting this article
[edit]I ran out of steam working on this article before Google ran out of things to cite. Here's some tabs I had open with cool abstracts when I decided to call it quits:
- Apparently, 7/3 is also the optimal exponent in tree crowns, for completely different (i.e. non-turbulent) reasons.
- The exponent for arterial branching (in pigs? in general?) is about 2.6, also for non-turbulent reasons.
- Single-celled amoebas apparently also obey Murray's law when "on the move."
- Sherman's alternate derivation (the second set of assumptions) is flawed except when a vessel bifurcates symmetrically.
- A test of Murray's law on full-size tree trunks?
Whoever you are, dear reader, I can say this much: you care about Murray's law and want to improve its WP coverage (after all, you're checking out the "Murray's law" talk page). Please consider reading what I didn't get to and adding the info. It'll be fun! Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 05:43, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
