Speculations

When normal matter orbits a body, and when its orbit is crowded, it tends to eventually collide with the body it is orbiting due to friction slowing it down until the radius of its orbit transects the orbited object's radius (supposing the orbited object were a sphere, like all large continuous celestial objects comprised of normal matter are). Friction relies on the electrostatic force. Atom's are mostly empty space, and are interact less by direct contact between their actual physical parts than by the magnetic field produced by their charged subatomic particles. Some particles, e.g. neutrinos, lack a charge. This means they rarely interact with anything beca…

What scientific evidence is there that consciousness is an active agent rather than just a brain epiphenomenon? I offered two sources of scientific study of consciousness awhile back in a discussion with the Cap'n. One was Lynne McTaggart's compilation of many different experiments edited into "The Intention Experiment." I cautioned that this body of experiments is not well accepted by "peer review" from, shall I say, hard core material scientists, like the physicists on this forum. Yet I find many of them very well done experiments confirming the effect of "consciousness" as "intention" in a wide variety of situations. I also mentioned "The Journal of Consci…

There was a piece about two settlements in Norway (i think) and when climate conditions made farming difficult one group adapted and returned to their hunter gatherer roots whilst the other prayed for better harvests in church. Any help would be much appreciated

Protection of electricity distributionnetworks from the effects of solar wind. - generation of energy by fusion - alternative propulsion forinterplanetary flights. My name is Jozef Czobor. ActuallyI do not have any education in the field of theoretical physics, it is myhobby and I´ve been interested in theworld and its way of function from a physical point of view for many years.I do not have an education in this field and I consider it as an advantage becauseI can have a look at these problems from a different point ofview than a person who studied the theoretical physics, becasue he isprogrammed forward how to solve these problems. Moreover I know t…

EntropyA concept that is not Physical Quantity shufeng-zhang china Email: email removed We define heat engine efficiency η as: η= W/W1, that is, replacing Q1 in the original definition η=W/Q1 with W1, W still is the net work of the heat engine applied to the outside in one cycle, W1 is the work the heat engine applied to the outside in the cycle, then, we use Stirling cycle as the element reversible cycle , if ∮dQ/T =0 is tenable, we can prove ∮dW/T =0 and ∮dE/T =0. If the formula ∮dQ/T=0, ∮dW/T=0 and ∮dE/T=0 can really define new system state variables, it comes to the absurd result of such a definition. In fact, during the process of obtaining "entropy", ∑[(…

hay this may have been posted in the past just thought what yous think of it seems pretty cool

What if, and bear with me here, the reason that physics breaks down when you look at smaller particles, is because those particles do not represent the forces your trying to calculate. What I mean is, we know that the photon represents ElectroMagnetic energy (light waves) and were pretty sure there is a particle that represents gravity etc. it makes sense that when your looking at *other* particles on the same scale, they would not be affected by those laws of physics. For example, if we break apart an atom, splitting its gravity particles out of it and putting it back together without them (this is just an example), then we could not expect the particle to ha…

My simple experiments have proved that I am on right path. I was confussed with impulsive energy component of gravitational energy,but I latter realised that my Non-Perpetual Gravitational energy powered engine runs on concept of overcommable resistance and not on impulsive energy component. Hence I want to share the exact easy to understand proof example / Analogy of my engine. With reference to the sketch on: http://flic.kr/p/bycsbo Here is the analogous example of a very heavy weight red ball hanging,to explain a single cycle of the proposed gravity engine working principle. Energy is only supplied here to lift the ball upwards and recovered when ba…

Stariсov Valery Vladimirovich: “My theory of personality types is better than theories of Maers-Briggs, Keirsey and another my competitors”. How need it select profession or husband? How need it marry for rich man? How need it collect personnel? How need it make a career and select the elevator of upward mobility? How need it to determine the degree of fitness to the role policy, artist or leader? Of than do the reasons consist for criminality and unemployment, reason for the loss of local civilizations and ruling elite? What there are tendencies in the instruction and the teaching? How need it to suppor…

The question of how the universe came into existence is a mystery. I was thinking that the answer to that is simply: 0/0. If we look at this mathematically then it kind of makes sense. Let "0" represent the universe before it came into existence. x=0 x/0 = infinity x/x = 1 nx/x = n Could nothingness be impossible and if so could the universe have been created 14 billion years ago or could it have just been there forever? What if there had always been a universe and all matter was compressed into a singularity which at one moment in time made a big bang? What do you think?

In this you tube video AI evolves its self, so i was wondering could one create this but have it play in the stock market.

Are the carcinogens, carried in smoke, from BBQ meat more detrimental to one's health than second hand smoke from a cigarette? I understand that grilling meat is different to barbecuing it, I've even read that smoke from burnt toast is bad, so, how much scientific proof is there of this? I've been around online but I can't find anything concrete, anybody know? Thanks.

hay all im a creationist the earth is around 6000 yo etc etc, the literature "Origin of human chromosome 2: An ancestral telomere-telomere fusion" has imo 4-5 NON SCIENTIFIC "FAILS" in it. ie "is precisely that predicted for a head-to-head telomeric fusion of two chromosomes" i can predict any effect today and "link" it to an UNOBSERVED "cause" (MACRO-evolution) in the past if i want....and call it science in the process... "The data we present here demonstrate that a telomere-to-telomere fusion of ancestral chromosomes occurred, leaving a pathognomonic relic at" cites some unobserved cause in the past (look at word "occurred) and this is the corn…

Well - indeed, if traveler measures and controls to be equal (it’s always possible) his proper +/- acceleration when boosting (slowing down) to Alpha C and proper time by own clock, he can return in the homebody’s reference frame practically with zero speed. If he, after stop, will measure the distance "Alpha C- Earth" (e.g., by the parallax method) and obtain his speed value, it will turn out that his speed is 1.7 c. Besides - the "twin paradox" is considered as usual as "clock paradox", but it has also another side: if the traveler, moving in the inertial section of the travel, will measure the homebody’s energy, this energy will be rather large – when homebody did…

hay all just thought id throw a spanner in the works so to speak lol please watch these videos of the worlds frontman of neo darwinian theory saying himself that (my interpretation) macro-evolutionary "theory" has never been observed and the official story is it started and stopped a long time ago without observation. also please look in your nearest dictionary for the definition of the word "science". you will notice the words OBSERVABLE EMPIRICAL TESTABLE REPRODUCIBLE etc etc........that said please view the following and comment.... from 16.15 on, notice richard dawkins comment "thats true".................................................…

hi i just thought id try out this methodology of doing something/analyzing something and see how it works. let us look at september 11 from a scientific perspective. i will try to "model" it, please someone comment on somethings if they want... i will assign just one or two things to the fact column (no one debates these they are easily verified observations, no one would doubt them,) then the opposing explanations in there relevant column and see how we go from there... ( i have never done this before but its so easy and makes so much sense etc) please just look at pic briefly on google too of what it *used* to look like (wtc7) ( if i could i would have 3 sepa…

I offer proof for the skeptics of astrology

How creditable is the multi verse in lieu of traditonal idea of physics or singular universe? Does M-theory have any validation in regards to linear time or modes of possible deterministic universe? How creditable is the argument and how far along does the multi verse start to play into psuedo science, like the poorly made documentary What The Bleep Do We Know? I want real answers as they play into philosphical ideas of determinism and play on religions of Judaism or mirror ball like beliefs of Hinduism. Please no religious related answers, but consider these applications in your answers and provide no bias or fallacious rhetroric. Forum is now open for discussion.

There are well-known physicists/cosmologists who are widely published in peer-reviewed journals, and who publish articles which contain postulates which are nonverifiable. It appears to me that that goes against forum policy rules. My question is this: How are we to handle such theories which contain such postulates? If we read such articles and want to discuss them here is it cosidered speculation an has to remain in this forum or if its peer reviewed can we discuss it in the physics forums. I'm refering to physicists such as Alan H. Guth and Paul Davies. See Alan H. Guth et al - http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.3778 -- Journal Reference - (not sure -please see ref)…

If matter and anti-matter were held out of existence in opposite directions by the weak force. And all the matter outside of existence on one side was held together by the strong force. And all the anti-matter outside of existence on opposite side was being held together by the strong force. Then a photon could be an oscillation of matter and anti-matter popping in and out of existence in turn against the weak force.As matter pops into existence anti-matter pops out,and visa versa .Planks constant h being the energy of one cycle and the energy of a photon being h*f. If 2 photons with a high enough energy collide,they overcome the strong force and an electron/pos…

Don't laugh, but this is interesting. Not knowing the language makes it difficult to understand his principal. While it seems to be what might be considered a con job, I was hoping someone might be familiar with the process he is demonstrating? Does anyone have a schematic of the system? Is it for real? His video is at the very bottom of the article. http://ilovefreeenergy.info/tag/gravity/

I would like to speculate that maybe black holes are, quite in contradiction to what we believe, highly supportive of life. Maybe it isn't the organic life as we know it, but something far more evolved and complex that we can't even imagine. I guess this is in some way an extension of my speculations as a child that in fact the sun is made up of a large collective of consciousness. Some of my reasons for my thoughts include: - an abundance of available resources - complex organization - constant consumption of more resources - natural defenses against external predators - possibility of inter well communication, maybe even travel This is a very …

Yes, green energy should be used to its fullest where and when possible. But this artilcle and video are quite interesting and should make us wonder why it has taken 50 years to evaluate the pros and cons of using a nuclear process that seems much safer than uranium, to build the same power source? With advanced particle accellerators already on the drawing board, it should take only a short time to design the mechanics needed to incorporate such a new system, while possibly using parts of the old one? Will someone please explain to me why we haven't done so already? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13040853

I've trudged along for almost 2 years now on this forum with a 5 year old mentality in science.. Reading is the one thing providing new questions to me. My latest Q: Is everything in the universe nothing more than energy waves? Having just found this particular item, I would like to share it. Perhaps you are already familiar with it and it is stale to you, but to me it is totally mysterious. I have no idea who wrote it, and only remotely understand what it means. But If you are into this type of thing please respond, or give me some different links to read or look at. These links are not the initial reference I was referring to, but they will have to do for now. http…
