" MVC models allow the code to be more flexible later in the development process, allowing for changes that make sense at the time it makes sense to make them. Event driven In contrast, objects in object oriented programming are composed of methods and data members that attempt to model something from the domain of interest . The best models are fully encapsulated, meaning that they implement every aspect of that real world object of interest to the domain of interest, and that they don't have any extra code that doesn't model the real world. Encapsulation also means that the class is implemented in such a way that the internal representation of data is not exposed to the user of the object. The impedance mismatch between these two worlds, that of events, and that of objects, is something that's been recognized for a long time. Getting these two worlds to cooperate requires a lot of 'glue code' to make them work together. The 'model-view-controller' paradigm introduces the controller object in between the view (the GUI class) and the model (the object) to communicate between the other two objects. Tall Ship Model Kit The actual implementation of the controller object can vary quite a bit, but the idea of an object to 'transform' events to changes in data and execution of methods is the essence of this pattern. What does "event driven" mean? Was there ever an application which did not respond to user events. "

For example, the mass of an electron is really a coupling between a left handed electron and a right handed electron, which is the antiparticle of a left handed positron. Also neutrinos show large mixings in their mass coupling, so it's not accurate to talk about neutrino masses in the flavor basis or to suggest a left handed electron neutrino and a right handed electron neutrino have the same mass as this table seems to suggest. *** - What is actually measured experimentally are the masses of baryons and hadrons and various cross section rates. Since quarks can't be isolated because of QCD confinement, the quantity here is supposed to be the mass of the quark at the renormalization scale of the QCD phase transition. Model Ship Tall Wooden In order to compute this quantity, physicists have to set up a lattice model and try out various masses for the quarks until the model comes up with a close fit with experimental data. Since the masses of the first generation quarks are significantly below the QCD scale, the uncertainties here are pretty large. "
