Speculations

Krash661 -do you know what happens when antimatter comes in the vicinity of matter ? i have to say obviously not. antimatter is unstable ----No! I don’t exactly know what happen when antimatter comes in the vicinity of matter, and I think nobody know for sure, …. except what results afterward. Let see this way: an electron and an antimatter electron (positron) comes in vicinity. How much near each other and what happens there -- in that moment, nobody know for sure.. Afterward the result is : Both “Annihilated”!?, and instead of them two gamma photons appears moving with C velocity in opposite directions. Einstein state that photons are particles and this is proved: they…

I read once that the drift of electrons in conductive material is very slow, some meter per sec. Instead if you close the switch of 300 km power line the flow of energy is quite instantly (sure having in view C). I too wanted to ask if somebody can explain this controversy. ———— Mod note: post and two responses split from http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/77664-electrons-electrons-in-electricity/

I found this on Google Earth in Egypt, but what is it? 22°47'51.75"N 31°32'39.42"E I at first thought it was a construction project, but I don't see any bulldozers or small foreman offices. And I don't think sand dunes look like this.

I'm not an expert on relativity, General relativity, Special relativity or any other kind. From what I know the Light (or any other object) can't travel faster than the speed of light c=300.000 km/s (aprox or exact in psychical equations?). My reasoning started from the question " Why light can't travel faster than c?" Or any other object. This doesn't constitute a paradox? Because stating that an object can't travel faster than c in this Universe means that something limits it's speed. (like a rock in water-rough analogy). Another way that I know this is expressed is that theoretically an object could travel faster than c but is nothing that can accelerate …

I didn't see a history category, so I decided to post this here. How much evidence is there that the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids? I think there was a cartouche written, but I heard someone say this may have been faked. Did the Ancient Egyptians record the pyramids' building anywhere?

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello everyone. I fugured speculation was the right place for this. I want to talk about the nature of existence. My principal argument will be that our universe is a self contained entity/ structure. Hawking proposed a closed system universe; a globe-like model that has a north and a south pole representing the big bang/ crunch. I was inspired to think about such a universe that did not rely on a creator nor on having any amount of parallel universes in order for it to exist. I will start by addressing the nature of time and space. For time to exist as a dimension there must be the movement of space. Interestingly, Einstein said that time will move at dif…

I know that most scientists think that matter and anti matter will be affected by gravity the same, there are some that are holding out for anti matter to have anti gravity effects when it comes close to matter. If ( I KNOW HUGE WORD) but if this turns out to be true wouldn't this mean that anti gravity and matter would be attracted to each other twice as much as any two chunks of either would be attracted? In positive and negative charges they are usually attracted to each other but wouldn't that mean that positive and negative gravity would attract each other?

Has anyone even ever proven that electricity is "moving" "electrons" in or around wires? And "electrons" being the main carriers? I don't think they have! Has no one at all has pulled out their microscope to view "moving electrons" in electric wires? I heard about experiments like the Crookes tube, but that doesn't prove anything about "electrons".

Controversial: A huge discrepancy between drift of electrons and velocity of energy in power lines. When a power line is connected (switched) with a source of energy (voltage) the energy flows quasi instantaneously. Instead, electrons inside the metallic ropes of the power line, move with very low velocity (drift). Some say that carriers of energy are electrons, which indeed are inside the metallic rope of power lines. Others say that carriers of energy are photons outside and around the metallic rope. I think that physics debate of this controversy must be very interesting.

How does one know if this is real science or not? http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0017006 Religious Factors and Hippocampal Atrophy in Late Life Amy D. Owen, R. David Hayward Harold G. Koenig, David C. Steffens, Martha E. Payne Will be interesting to see if it can be replicated.

Well, I don't know about that, every source I read, online, and offline calorie counts on nutrition labels, says that I should need over 2000 calories, I weigh like 185 pounds, so it's not like I live efficiently, and that's the sedentary count. I'm not sedentary. And almost all days, I only eat between 500 and 1400 calories. Recently these past two weeks, it's been about 700 calories a day.

SPHERICAL TRAJECTORIES =====A CONTROVERSIAL HINT ABOUT STRUCTURE OF COMMON ELEMENTARY PARTICLES. I have drawn two models of spherical trajectories in MATLAB. The footprint of those trajectories gives the impression of a stationary globe, like a set-shell drawn by two quasi point sub-particles interacting between the two move in spherical spirals. In the first figure the movement is up Z axis and down, that is one harmonic movement—one hz. In the second figure the harmonic movement is one horizontal cycle—one hz. For a particle like an electron, which must have fe = 1.23559006*10^20 hz the presence of one sub-particle in whatever point of surface is quite instantaneous, e…

It's called a guitar. Not sure it's over unity.

How can math prove anything? It is an extension of the mind. It can't say what reality does without doubt. It just says what other people have seen, probably only a few cases. As far as I know, it is not made up of rigorous study of every detail, it is just blanket statements.

To me quantum entanglement seems to suggest that every possible electro magnetic frequency exists as a mono paradigm expansion outside of time and distance. Infinite plane theory deepens

In recent years, scientists have been stunned to discover how life in the universe is astoundingly balanced on a razor's edge. The Big Bang was actually a highly ordered event that required an enormous amount of information, and from the moment of inception the universe was finely tuned to an incomprehensible precision for the existence of life. Embedded within the laws of physics are roughly 30 numbers—including the masses of the elementary particles and the strengths of the fundamental forces—that must be specified to describe the universe as we know it. If any of these parameters were to change even slightly, the consequences for life would be devastating. Fine…

I have, on another forum, been trying to theorise my own life form. it goes a little something like this... Okay, first off you need to know your nano-science. this 'electrical machine,' is going to need more than electricity and parts - it needs bio mass to reproduce. if it was to be very small, we can already do it. if it was to be done on a small scale, and then made bigger slowly, adding particles to the gluons, then they could slowly give it more attributes and functions. no metal or plastics should be used. In fact, the 'being,' could be a complete living thing. if it were to be given the attributes that will help it breathe and eat, which should be fairly easy…

I guess I never asked this about this Law of Conservation of Energy: Was the Law of Conservation of Energy ever proven for electricity? Was it ever proven for capacitors, inductors, resistors, batteries, electromagnets, motors, parallel circuits, etc.?

Hi just wanted ask some help to my research could anyone pls suggest me source to the speed of the expanding universe been measured?I ld need data.thanks also may someone who understand the data. thank you

I decided to make a thread just for this. I sent two articles to peer-reviewed journals, one of them to seven different journals. Although some of the journals were published by the same company, each journal is a separate journal, even in a series of journals. (One article is still being checked, but the editor is currently on a vacation or trip.) What happened was the editors just "threw them out". They just said "not suitable" or something. The articles didn't even get to the peer review stage! I don't know what the peer-reviewers would say, but they would probably not even check the claim. I question, then, how science could accept new ideas! I questio…

It seems that GR, a PDF from a member here linked me to, does not apply to this topic. I will need the science community in helping me understand the wave function to further explain this in a more precise manner if that is at all possible, I cant comprehend the symbols. However, would this even apply if the following may be true? Here is the E = hf = hc / wave length of which determines the energy of the photon. The resulting numerator is: = 1.9878e-23???? This is the number my calculator gave me. Extrapolated the new product is now 1.982e-17 Using this new unit of measure with cosmic rays we have the following: 1.982e-17/ cosmic rays 10e…

I'm using quite a loose definition of "enhanced" here. Assuming we knew which genes coded for which traits and we used that knowledge to produce the child with the most desirable traits (i.e. the ones that will give the child the best start in life) how much "better" would the average child be if he were produced by A) Using PGS to choose between 5 embryos, B) Selecting the best sperm from millions and the best egg from, say, a dozen C) Choosing the best chromosomes from a bunch of sperm and eggs and sticking them together in such a way that you get an embryo (is this even possible/feasible?) D) Any other method you can think of. Am I right in thinking that the averag…

Theres been a list compiled here of over 100 alternatives to the mechanisms of the modern evolution synthesis, dont worry this has nothing to do with creationism. There appears to be some decent alternatives such as the mechanism of molecular drive, or symbiosis driving evolution instead of natural selection. see the list here (and yes theres also some metaphysical ones), what do you think about some of these? Non Darwinian evolution mechanisms and their authors

It depends on how you choose to define universe. I tend to lean towards It's hard to conceive of a point that has no existence or space to house it. For that reason, I think that everything that exists, exists within the universe.
