Speculations

Take it to the next step. There is no time. 'Scientists suggest spacetime has no time dimension' http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-scientists-spacetime-dimension.html There is a similar article which I can not find which states time is similar to money. Money has no intrinsic value. We place value on money so we don't have to barter. Same with time. Time has no intrinsic value. We place value on time so we understand past, present, and future. My analogy is a battery operated clock. You own a battery operated clock. The clock begins to tick slower. Has time changed or do you replace the batteries? You replace the batteries because you understand what occurs…

I came across a definition of a white hole as a "time-reversed black hole." I assume that a white hole would only let light out. However, this doesn't make sense to me. If you have a curved geodesic contained within a black hole event horizon, wouldn't light travel along the same path whether it was going forward in time or backward in time? It seems to me that spacetime curvature would determine whether light etc would be confined to a space, or unable to enter that space. A time-reversed black hole would be gravitationally identical to a black hole. Perhaps its spin would be reversed or something, but essentially its influence on the universe would be the …

Would it be possible to harness energy from the orbit of moons? I had an idea about extending alternators to near the orbit of the moon and having a solar powered magnetic field generator built on the moon so when the moon passes close to each alternator it induces a current in the device, the energy then transferred back to earth, would this be possible, would the power generated by too negligible for it to be practical? If we could build that, would it work?

Humans, By ScottTheSculptor The evolutionary step that created humans was the ability to store emotional information in their memories. But first. The main evolutionary drive is logic. Yes, the ability to survive is underneath but the only "advancement" in that ability is provided by logic. It is logic that a stronger predator has advantage over a less strong, a faster herd animal will logically survive one that is slower. Every creature on the planet takes sensory information and "decides" the appropriate action warranted from that collected data. If food is detected a creature has to perform a logical sequence of tasks to procure it. Even an act as simple a…

In using "red shift", (the Hubble Constant), to determine galactic distances when looking at galaxies in tandem; is one increasing in speed or the other lagging? Or is the raisin bread idea the only right answer?

Did anyone else here about this. Made me chuckle.

Why don't black holes combust? It's probably pretty obvious that it doesn't have a purity of combustible ingredients. Is it possible for the most massive stars to be greater than the smallest black holes? Probably doesn't even come close. So, do you think the impetus for creation of a black hole is just the amount of matter that has conglomerated and once it reaches a certain level of mass, maybe it just collapses in on itself, breaking the constituent atoms into a dense mess of particles? Without a fusion ignition occurring, this would probably take a while and have to be pretty massive before it collapses.

No, "making Jupiter a star" doesn't have anything to do with Roman divinity and Hollywood movies. I am wondering if devoting energy and effort to transforming Jupiter into a star would be a viable means of extending the life of Earth as the sun and Earth's core cool. I realize that at some point, the sun is predicted to supernova, at which point it won't really matter to anyone on Earth what Jupiter is doing, but would it be beneficial to ignite Jupiter at some point between now and the end of the sun?

I´m trying to work out a way to have a system of measuring the date that is not limited by the rotations of planets etc. Something that is not necessarily local and could be used to give a universal ´date´across, well everything. The problem I keep coming up against is the huge distances involved which seem to make it fairly meaningless to say it is X at this point everywhere. Because I suppose, any measurements somebody was making would be based on old light reaching them... Basically, does anyone know of this being done already. Even if not universal, at least galactic? As in something that involved the curent positions of stars according to each other, or the r…

I was wondering if there was any real science behind the claims that radiation from routers and phone towers are dangerous. It would seem that the radio waves that many devices work on are lower energy than that of light. My thought is that turning a light on would be more dangerous than turning on a Wi-Fi router simply based on the energy of the radiation.

The Universe is, or the local Universe we exist in is in, a jet. 'Mysterious Cosmic 'Dark Flow' Tracked Deeper into Universe' http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/releases/2010/10-023.html 'The clusters appear to be moving along a line extending from our solar system toward Centaurus/Hydra, but the direction of this motion is less certain. Evidence indicates that the clusters are headed outward along this path, away from Earth, but the team cannot yet rule out the opposite flow. "We detect motion along this axis, but right now our data cannot state as strongly as we'd like whether the clusters are coming or going," Kashlinsky said.' The clusters are heade…

I'm going to make a prediction that dark matter is repulsive to ordinary matter, like two magnets pushing against each other, just as dark energy pushes space apart. Maybe the reason why universal expansion has sped up is because there is more non-baryonic matter compared to normal matter. We already have this mysterious phenomenon called gravity that we know so much about. Why does gravity even occur, and then maybe there is an opposing force to it, antigravity, or a cosmological constant, maybe its due to the existence of this excess proportion of non-baryonic matter, though maybe dark matter is immune to the antigravity of other dark matter. This could easily expl…

Can it be said that any particle or object in the universe has a certain amount of force required to reach any given destination? So instead of talking about "escape velocity," couldn't one speak of "destination force?" "Escape velocity" implies that once a particle or object reaches a certain speed, it will no longer return to the gravity-well it's being launched out of, but what about its destination? If you took account of its destination, wouldn't any particle/object have a certain velocity (speed and direction) needed to escape ALL possible destinations and remain in its own gravitational frame forever? Likewise, wouldn't any other object be on a trajectory to so…

Imagine a large cloud of hot gas. If parts of the cloud cool faster than others, those parts should densify relative to their surroundings, correct? Then, if there is no external border constraining the cloud, it could expand freely due to its own heat/pressure, right? So if the condensing parts of the cloud expel more heat due to friction among the particles, couldn't this cause the surrounding gas to warm up and expand more while the condensed particles grow colder and form a heat-sink for surrounding (warmer) particles? In this way, couldn't a body of matter form from the growing disparity between condensation and expanding surroundings and eventually condense to f…

What if instead of thinking of the early universe of the big bang as expanding spacetime in some abstract sense, you just thought of it as a small, dense ball of matter? Then, think of the expansion of that ball as a process of stretching the contents out despite a limited amount of space between them. So instead of the contents "expanding into" space, they are actually stretching space between them like trying to expand a vacuum within the atmosphere. Another way to describe this would be to say that gravity originated as perfectly contracted spacetime and henceforth began expanding to allow more distance between particles/objects, yes some areas remain(ed) less expan…

Hello, At http://www.tp-theory.net/eng I describe field as an effect of time dilation in unified way for any interaction. What is amaising, it passes all general relativity tests and gives very accurate approximation of gamma rays flashes delay (I prove that light slows when increases its Energy). I am looking for passionate physicists, who could help me to finish the theory and write it down with tensor algebra. Regards Pogono

The New Universe. Time is a fourth dimension, one dimensional "thing" that flows into the sun and can vary. If physics can accept this; dark energy, dark matter, missing radiowaves from the galactic core, long lived particles from up time-stream, planetary density discrepencies (Mercury too dense, Mars not dense enough), proton magnetism, jets from black holes, and other cosmic mysteries are explained. Also, dah dun dun dah!, Time/Gravity *is* the flow of time. You may wonder how we missed this I will attempt to explain . . . The crux of my argument is against Einstein's relativity *description* (his math was perfect). Einstein thought that time wa…

Before the 20th century people would ask why is the universe so orderly? Einstein was said to have been amazed by the beauty and order of things, why was there so much order? the universe could have been simply chaotic. this inetviabely lead people to concluded that the universe was the creation of a god. But eventually science was thankfully saved through the multiverse theory. One of these theories stated there is an ocean of an infinite number of universes and so even if most are chaotic some will eventually become orderly. Now here we are before the 22nd century and I ask why am I alive? it could be that I am dead now, if my life is truly to be in or around 75 ye…

Hello, www.squidoo.com/pinwheelgenerator . Thanks

Lets do a thought experiment... Lets say that in some lab somewhere (don't matter where or what kind of lab it was) an effect was discovered that indicated that during or as a result of some experiment a connection was made with aliens doing a similar experiment somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. Lets just say for the sake of argument a device meant for something else started vibrating in a non random way and it turned out to be aliens with a similar device making our device vibrate. It turns out to be a code based in math and we are able to decipher it and it not only turns out to be from another galaxy but the communication between devices is instantaneous. Wou…

Here are some aspects of relationships between location and energy: 1. To change an object's location requires energy. If an object has velocity relative to something else (such that relative location changes), it has potential energy. To change velocity requires a transfer of energy. 2. In a Bose-Einstein condensate, which has very little thermal energy, the location of particles becomes undefined. Particles act as if they are simultaneously everywhere in the matter. 3. If an object falls into a black hole, light from it is redshifted indefinitely. Is it reasonable to say that one wavelength of the light is simultaneously traveling to our eyes at c, and stuck…

Nothing is none at all but if we look into reality 'nothing' is not nothing at all actually. Why, what's in nothing at all? Nothing has time element actually, for example look at those who are already dead they are already nothing but still time is running for them, we know that they are already 50 years dead or 50 years nothing. So we can say that 'nothingness' is moving or changing because it has time. So is there a possibility that 'nothing' can produce a thing?

Think of your cerebral cortex as a big pyramidal hierarchy. At the base of the hierarchy are your senses and motor systems. At the top is the brain structure which encodes long term memories, the seahorse-shaped hippocampus. The whole pyramid is built out of structures called neocortical columns, that sit around analyzing patterns, classifying them, grouping them, and feeding their conclusions up the hierarchy, through innumerable other neocortical columns, up toward the hippocampus. The higher you go, the more abstract the information the neocortical columns are dealing with. They're classifying and grouping patterns in ever-increasing levels of abstraction. Inform…

Here I am , browsing the net , enjoying the reading , subconsciously absorbing the multiple thoughts encountered . Let's say that in 11 years time I suddenly wake up on a fine day and go , Eureka ! . I've just had a brilliant thought that explains the previously inexplicable and it's , as far as I'm concerned , my contribution to world knowledge . But unbeknown to me I've just regurgitated the forgotten ramblings of a long since forgotten poster from here and now . Am I commiting plagiarism if I genuinely think this is my work or would I possibly independently be discovering something worthwhile ?
