Speculations

Why are alternate formalisms to physical phenomena altogether bad? For instance I don't know how to model energy, or energetic interactions. Could you use just a graph really. In terms of chemistry this is more interesting though. Why cant you try some alternate system to describe an atom, or polyatomic systems? Giving conservation laws couldn't I just try to model these interactions as noise on a number line. I mean if its regular or periodic in any way I would think this could yield patterns.

A electric universe theorist nagged me about Einstein's famous mass=energy equivalence equation, arguing that a Italian physicist was first to propose the equation. Has anyone got any information about this topic?

Universe/Time = 1/(∞-1) so what's wrong with this? the implied value of infinity changes over time but as it is equally impossible to count to 3 using 2 quanta as it is to count to 1000 using 999 quanta the actual value remains ∞ in each successive time frame. surely?

Right now some scientists are running simulations of different aspects of the universe on nether computers, whether cells, weather systems, planetary movement, you name it. the biggest limitation in creating a complete simulation of a small-scale universe is processing power. so theoretically if we had infinite (or "just enough" processing power to simulate a universe, we probably could. We could simulate sentient beings that would go through their lives without realizing that they were only ones and zeros in a massive computer. following that, it is possible that we are just a simulation inside a super-massive (or infinite) computer. And if the programming was sound e…

abstract yet another big bang theory. nuff said. proposal the universe is expressed by, or an expression of, pure number: it’s counting upwards from 1, or counting increasingly smaller fractions of 1. or: the universe is an expression of the number count we represent in standard English as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13... all the way through to 10to the power 40960000000000000000000 or whatever number we’d be at now if time was just an upward count from 1, or a downward count from derived from 1 being divided into increasingly finer fractions. the universe is expressing or an expression of the numbers 1 to ∞-1 Universe/Time = 1/(∞-1) …

Could you engineer plants to become solar panels? Maybe it could produce film concentrated with some kind of photosynthetic mechanism. I would think you could then use the energy to produce maybe a yield of something else, perhaps usable hydrogen or what not. I would think that you could make the leaves to be transparent with some kind of a skeleton that could be connected in the form of a leaf with a film of photosynthetic organisms. Then the energy could be chained into some reactions in which hydrogen would get feed into some kind of budding organ that contains it in an accessible form. I don't know but could you model carbon nanotube structures into DNA expressio…

in which case could that mean that there is a transition period between one state of the universe and another, kinda like the framerate on a movie?

I was just wondering if anyone thought the action of virus material and or plasmids could be part of what lead to multicellular life. I know bacterial mats exist, but beyond that nucleated cells seem special in being multicellular. Again I wonder that if early on in evolution the action of viruses and plasmids could have been what fostered an environment for being multicellular. If selection had only brought single celled on so far, maybe reproduction keep it that way. Thus maybe beneficial traits existed in pockets or populations and would have to radiate. I think another example would be that such could have had the advantage of generating bacterial mats, …

let's assume that either dark matter or something like that existed, and that it repels the matter that we are made up of (think opposite of magnets: instead of North repels North/South attracts north, matter attracts matter and antimatter repels matter) assuming that we could obtain antimatter could we possibly stuff an amount of antimatter into a ship or something that is equal to the mass of the ship and it's contents, therefore making it have a total mass that is negligible? that would mean that this ship would be able to leave the earth's gravitational field with only air resistance. however, the antimatter would also repel the ship and it's cargo, either making…

Okay, I may sound like a broken record but the 2012 "end of the world" doomsday. Follow me here. In basic terms, time repeats itself. In a theory of time every moment in time must eventually repeat itself. So, hypothetically, the big bang can be explained as a human event. Look at the LHC (i believe that is what it is called) that is soon to create a synthetic "big bang". Well, if this theory of time is true, then I believe that the big bang was created in a lab and we are stuck in an infinite loop. Every time the big bang is created it starts the line over, not like time travel, but rather following time laws of massive events repeating themselves. That would exp…

Dear SFN Member: I am not a physicist, but am a theoretical thinker. I am looking to publish a book and would like to include other theory and commentaries related to the core topic. It is an essay on Relative Gravity. In looking at Kepler, Newton, Einstein and even Faraday, although their thinking was for their particular context, they shared symmetry in principles. For example, a circle with respect to a wheel. This symmetry is exploited in the essay that I wrote as abstract properties: Relative Gravity is the potential energy of bodies purported as amplitude in kinetic energy and expressed in the form of a resonant frequency between them. The resonant…

http://sites.google.com/site/coriolislife/ Warnings: It's a very long read, but then again it's trying to unify biology, biochemistry, psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, physiognomy, etc. It gives no citations to science journals. For some supplementary evidence, I give you the twirling motion of vines: And to really see how matter travels to "converging point" and "tail", I give you hurricanes in motion: When you watch this, imagine that each of those hurricanes is the formation of a leaf or human ear. I've been taught that Mendelian genetics dictates whether the human earlobe is attached or free. But this theory is a simpler, more elegant explanat…

Casimir effect varies time supporting Lorentzian Ether Theory By froarty Numerous claims of anomalous heat between atomic hydrogen and catalysts support the “relativistic” hydrogen theory [1]of Jan Naudts. Naudts theory resolved the controversy regarding fractional hydrogen but introduced “relativistic” hydrogen inside a stationary reactor! This is not hydrogen accelerated through space to luminal velocities; this concept requires “equivalent motion” between time and space but unlike the slowing of time by a gravitational mass associated with normal equivalence, this solution accelerates time. When defects or cavities occur in a conductive mass meeting Casimir geomet…

would i publish 6 pages on a website when I can write a book make millions and enlighten everybody in time.......

Individuality is becoming ever more a rarer and rarer thing. Individuals are now frowned upon by society at large. Is this a new stage of evolution, in which humans are in the early stages developing a collective consciousness? More and more people are conforming to "normality",-definition of normality being- adhering to a standard, pattern. Is this the start of the abolishment of the individual? People dressing the same, behaving the same, eating the same foods, engaging in the same activities, (I shan't give examples as I'm sure each of us can think of many) at what point can it be said that they think the same, that they think...collectively? Nowada…

I am writing a book that will hopefully explain everything. I need your help though....What would you like to see in this book? No this is not a joke, please be serious.

Hi all, I'm new here - I'm an 18 year old guy from Liverpool, UK. I've no formal qualification in science but a double A in science at GCSE level. Overall, I have 10 GCSE's (Above B) and 2 A-Levels. I never really wanted to go to university. That said, I have maintained and fostered an obscene extra-curricular interest in the field of science, technology and philosophy. I could write you an OS ideal to your psychology - but that would be a bit extreme, eh? I'm no academic, quite the opposite, I'm drawn to practical solutions and activity. Simotaniously though, I'm more a theorist and speculative. I like to actively improve things. Probably not one day an inspirar…

I'm suddenly interested in the idea of psychic powers. There are rumors of people who can control the minds of others, predict the future, and do many other things with their minds. However, the only form of this power that can be tested by everyone is telekinesis. You can visit http://www.crystalinks.com/psychokinesis.html to see some instructions about it. I don't have a jar and needle, so I haven't had a chance to perform the experiment yet. However, I am interested in developing this power, and then some. In fact, I have the desire for great psychic power. I want to know what others think about me. I want control of the world around me, and have some influe…

So what do you think. Are plants sensitive to our emotiions , Will a plant grow better in an atmosphere filled with love? Or will a plant regress in an atmosphere filled with depression and negativity/

So seriously, I didn't make this up... Last night I had a dream about this crazy antigravity tube. The way it worked was as soon as you stepped into the tube you were drawn into the center. When you walked into the tube they had to attach some weird pink cylinder to the ceiling of the tube to offset your mass, like the mass of objects on the ceiling made up for the mass of the objects in the tube. Somehow. Or whatever. Also there was a dragon boat you could ride on that would fly around the inside of the tube. (Note: Dragon boat didn't flap its wings, instead it had ROCKETS) Awesome! After I woke up I thought about ways my crazy antigravity tube could be ma…

Here is an interesting problem. Please break it. The Burn Mark Problem The below experiment will avoid clocks and use light distance travel and frame distance travel. Since the SR clock synchronization method uses distance and light travel for its implementation, then distance and light travel are more fundamental than clocks. Assume a stationary light source O and target T at a distance d and a moving frame O’ moving at v in the direction of the negative x-axis. When O and O’ are co-located, O emits a light pulse. O concludes when light moves a distance d to hit the target T, the observer O’ moves to the x coordinate –vd/c. O decides to place a…

Ok, so last I heard most of science suspects multiple universes. My gee wiz questions for the day are, what would happen when two universes collide? How would we experience that? Is there such a thing as trajectory when analyzing the collision of universes, and thus a range of impact intensity or even more of a merge than a collision? Oh, another one that's always bugged me, is it assumed the laws of physics would be the same within other universes? If not, I wonder how that would effect the outcome of an impact with each other...

New to the forum, so hello. I was hoping I could get a little help with a feature in a book I'm writing (intending to publish on Lulu). I'll add thanks for any help given here at the start of the book. Really I write for my own cathartic reasons, so don't expect to see your name in lights and read by millions, but anyway... I have a fundamental grasp of physics from the work I've completed thus far on my science degree. But planetary and astrophysics is something of a tricky area for me. The planet in my book is called Kirov and its a 'gemini planet'. The world's rotation matches with its solar orbit so that one side is permanently facing space, the other perman…

I have a theory about gravitons. According to everything, if a body has more mass, it has more gravitational force. Why? It doesn't matter if it's 20 million tons of Hydrogenium or 20 million tons of Ferrum, they would both have the same gravitational force. Well, I made up a theory that each and every atom (no matter what kind) has the same amount of gravitons, the little mysterious thingys that I know almost nothing about. For what I read, gravitons carry the weakest form of fundamental forces - gravity. If so, that means that gravitons are practically gravity. no matter what kind of atom, it carrys a certain amount of gravitons. It's dumb, I know, but it's …
