Speculations

We always think of using green renewable energy source as a future energy source to overcome the current energy crisis. My question in instead of building solar panels on Earth, why don`t we just build giant solar panels in space, facing directly towards sun and not effected by day and night (only when solar storm occurs). It sounds good, isn`t?

This is not joking. How to mine the sun for hydrogen if we can master the technology from the future? Any opinion?

I have only an Idea. I dabble my way through documentary's on Netflix. I watch my share of homemade magnetic devices and conspiracy theory's on YouTube I play the Google game to stroll through nearly endless images and Wiki pages for that spark of creativity. I am an Idea man. I know there is a tremendous gap of technicalities which would need to be understood for any plausibility, but still the Idea is simple. Firstly, solar wind is mostly comprised of protons and electrons. True? Yes. Secondly, a Hydrogen atom contains a proton (+) and an electron (-). True? Yes. Thirdly, The Great Pyramid of Giza is made of a Granite core and Limestone shell(poten…

I just think of this question a few minutes ago. I was wondering since we move at different speed everyday, our time will slow down as speed increase. Then, if everyone is moving at a different speed, this mean everyone`s time should be different and time should be a complicating issue. I mean my time today is different from my clock. Because my clock move rarely but not I. So, I solve a mystery in science. (I think so) To determine how long you will live, despite natural and man-made disaster, our life expectancy is directly proportional to our everyday moving speed and inversely proportional to the running time. The faster you move, the slower the time, the longer you l…

if both reactions are exothermic. then is this a free energy(not Gibbs free energy) method to split water. first reaction gives OH and second reaction gives H2 and NaOH is recycled and we will get heat energy as bonus. Can somebody give enthalpy of formation (del H f)to show that this reactions are truly exothermic or is there any catch like you cant separate Na+ and OH- from H2O (in the first reaction)

THIS IS A RESCUED THREAD FROM ONE DISMANTLED DUE TO TOO MANY CONVERSATIONS This is one of the conversations :- NOT a discussion of A Religion but Cleverness of a Project " I deliberately have not mentioned , that I am saying , a God, A creator omnipotent being . is responsible . Whether I think these things or not. I deliberately have not mentioned these , why ? Because ,historically it seems that , it is like lifting a piece of galvanised iron sheet that has been left covering some waste land for some time. On first lifting , a myriad of ants and various creatures are exposed , who immediately flee for cover in every direction . Its as i…

I have long thought of this question. I came out with this idea from my recent post regarding probes traveling out of the solar system. Now, my question is instead of using self-propulsion power supply unit, why done we build a special tower or space station in space that transmit energy-carrying EM radiation to a probe with a receiver. (Don`t care whether this idea is limited to the speed limit of light first.)

This is also a pure thought. We know that nuclear energy has many usage. But, it seems that no one had ever think of this one. What about if we use nuclear energy to launch rocket and space shuttle? The nuclear energy can be installed at the launchpad (of course need strict control) or directly at the rocket itself. A strong withstand object like concrete walls(may have up to several kilometers thickness) must be installed to diverge certain amount of force exerted by the nuclear power or recycle the waste products. Since we have technology to slow down the movement of neutron with control rods in nuclear power station, I think we can indeed use the same idea to launch ro…

We know that space is not only a mere vast vacuum. Interstellar Medium (ISM) is scattered all over the universe. Scientist always wonder how can extrasolar space travel can become possible. Now, let me post a simple question: Is it possible to use the matter (interstellar dust and plasma) or energy (maybe cosmic ray or constant radiation) to power our probes, especially cosmic ray and high energy radiation? If we have an energy magnifier, we can magnify the radiation and boost a lot of energy to power the probe, since we know cosmic rays are harmful to human bodies, there should be a good side to cosmic rays if we master the skills to use handle them well, shouldn`t it? E…

For long scientists are looking into some economical ways to send unmanned probes to explore the extrasolar space. Now, I think this idea is a good one. Here is my proposal. First, set up a probe by usual methods and procedures just excluding the power supply unit. Next, design the power supply unit. This power supply unit is something new. It is a long but slim system. You have to stock up a certain amount of fuel, let`s say ion or xenon ion which is used by the Japanese probe Hayabusa(if I am not mistaken). The xenon ion is stored in a container or tank. Then, prepare a long pipe with 2 generators or dynamos. The size of the generator or dynamos depend on the size o…

Did/Do we create ourselves/universe, Do we live within one of these collisions Or a future collision from next stage collider? Cern Hadron Collider The beams travel in opposite directions in separate beam pipes – two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum 10-6 mbar,. They are guided around the accelerator ring by a strong magnetic field maintained by superconducting electromagnets chilling magnets to 1.9k/-271.3 degrees c. Magnets create the magnetic fields in our universe, We create the vacuum of "space/particle collectors", We cool space, We supply the energy needed to create "big bang" by accelerating particles, supplying energy to particles/"electrons".

I am going to discuss something about space in this topic. Where does the universe came about? What causes Big Bang? I think we might have found out the answer. It all lies in a brand new theory (more precisely just a hypothesis) -The Theory of Space. The Theory of Space 1. Space is everything. Nothing is outside space. 2. Space creates universe. No matter what theory might be proposed in the future, they must have relationship or originated from space itself. 3. Space is an ultimate invisible super large field, containing a vast amount of gravitions or gravitational field lines. 4. The 4 fundamental forces we know today are actually part of the gravitational …

I myself like others have a look of a girl that is highly, attractive, when looks like the look that is. What in the brain does makes you attracted to this certain almost percise look?

Hi, everyone. Humbly, I admit I'm not smart enough to build a time machine. I'm also not smart enough to acquire the resources - cash - to hire some of you bright folks to create a time machine for me. (Sigh. Emphasis added.) But I want a time machine. With that in mind, I can only add what I can add and perhaps indirectly inspire one of you in the quest. Everything has a natural frequency. Would it be possible to travel in time if one were to somehow disrupt the natural frequency of the universe? Could a person somehow encapsulate oneself, perhaps in a shield of energy, disrupt the natural frequency of the universe and perhaps by using certain oscillations of th…

Hi i am going to unite the 4 forces today and im going to start by explaining 3. I think that protons and neutrons are miniature universes which do big bangs and big crunches. Which means that the strong force is gravity and the weak force is caused by the big bangs of these wave particle duality universes. Now, with this said its time to incorperate the electromagnetic force into the theory by postulating a new theory on gravity. It is that gravity is caused by dark energy which is released from stars during nuclear fusion. And after that it makes gravity stronger which is why a core of a star shrinks over time. Also, this explains why universal expansion accelerates ove…

I found a video of one of the newer criticisms of the BICEP2 project and they sounded quite.. radical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC_KkLvG22A#t=855 the guy says that both gravitational waves and the CMB simply do not exist... im guessing a quack but im not sure :S

I have made some earlier posts on entropy on this site but I find this aspect of physics very daunting and a tad intimidating (if i could put it that way). How could we interpret entropy to :- a)Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle b)Success and Failure in everyday life (and migraine headaches as an extension...!!) Here's how : Think of an imaginary measuring tool that iteratively scans a sub-space for a photon. As we zero in on the co-ordinates of an elusive photon, we require more iterative sub-space scans (much like the scanning lines on a TV). Programmatically it is like a loop from 1 to N where N is very large (to increase accuracy of measuremen…

Hi, I am 18 and although I know a lot about physics and stuff I am probably missing lots of knowledge and probably even simple things in physics. My idea from what I know follows physics and I think it could work maybe, I first realized it when I was 14 and still I have no proof it can't be made/work, and am obviously then wishing for it to be studied and built by the people that could test and make it. So here is my whole plan below, with I know some extreme possibilities if the beginning works, and then those extremer things might work. So here it is below... (it's a saved paste of everything) So could we under a Ultra-High-Vacuum Atomic-Force-Microscope (UHV AFM) o…

Was told to make this separate thread

Before I start check out this Physicist's Research: Fran De Aquino Maranhao State University, Physics Department, S.Luis/MA, Brazil. Copyright © 2011 by Fran De Aquino. All Rights Reserved High-power ELF radiation generated by modulated HF heating of the ionosphere can cause Earthquakes, Cyclones and localized heating http://vixra.org/pdf/1202.0044v1.pdf I would like to produce some findings here regarding HAARP, which relate to other HAARP like facilities that may interest you. First off HAARP can generate HF, VLF and ELF frequencies triggered by a phased array which lifts up the ionosphere from 3.6 Mega Watts too 5.1 Giga Watts. That being said, cou…

A few things to clarify before I get started: I am aware this is a theory I came up with, which is untested and has no mathematics behind it. I don't claim to be the only one to have thought of it either, although I never saw it discussed anywhere else and concluded it's an obscure concept. Even if my observation holds some truth to it, it's likely incomplete and not fully correct... but it might at least provide a basis for a new way of looking at the subject. I'm hoping that posting this will spark further ideas that will continue mine, and that someone who has the hardware to attempt experiments in this sense might do so as well. In essence, I believe I found part …

I think that gravity is extremely cold, possibly even 0 K. In a place that is as cold as absolute 0, there will be no time and no space for anything. You get can extremely close to it, but it will take you an extremely long time to get there. With this hypothesis, given the assumption that it is 0 K, we can explain why things are solid, I'd call it quantum gravitational freezing, or bubbleic solidification.

Whoa, guys. Time travel is science fiction. It's pseudoscience. I'm afraid you can't even travel forwards in time. People say things like "we all travel forward in time at one second per second". But it's just a figure of speech. This travel is notional, it isn't travel in any real sense. There's no motion through time, none whatsoever. Because time is a cumulative measure of motion through space. Look inside a mechanical clock, and you don't see time flowing. You see cogs and sprockets whirring. Because clocks clock up motion. Every measure of time employs motion, be it the motion of the earth, the motion of a pendulum, the motion of a crystal, or the motion of lig…

"SCHIZOPHRENIA" (an integration disorder) - the price we pay for language? Professor Tim Crow's theory suggests that schizophrenia is the price we pay for language and I wonder if the exposure to stimulus (non-verbal) - stimulus (verbal) contingencies (classical conditioning) when you with a short delay are able to restore a verbal message or interpret what subjectively seems to be a verbal message can have such a profound effect that some people develop a mental illness. Quote:"...classical conditioning is far more subtle and relevant to complex human cognitive-emotional behavior than one might first realize..." (p. 4) Source: The Imbalanced Brain: From Nor…

Hi, Is it true that wearing working clothes for work enhances worker productivity (e.g. wearing a suit and tie at work)? Similarly, it is believed by many that wearing fitness gear (gym-wear) enhances your motivation when going to the gym for a workout. I am just wondering whether there have been any studies which have suggested that wearing a particular clothing can make you more productive at doing certain things.
