Speculations

Re: Surely this is a case of QT 'point like' and classical 'volume'. Put a (point like) stone on a piece of string and drop it in a pool of water, classicist observe the wave that expands in all directions away from the stone, but Quantum theorist continue to observe the stone and see that when the stone is removed the water fills the space previously occupied by the stone and therefore quantum theorist observe ‘wave collapse’. That is to say the views of QT and classicist are not incompatible; both are correct but different observations of the same photon wave action. The implication being that the observer cannot observe both the stationary point wave action …

I am confused. Where in th above have you shown light has been measured at c in all directions and in different frames. In order to claim light is measured at c, you must actually be able to produce one way light transfer timing experiments. Do you have any?

Dark matter, also referred to as dark energy. We know it exists, but what could it possibly be? Please share your thoughts, and I will share mine. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedWhat if dark matter(dark energy) is dark thoughts. These dark thoughts are created by us, humans.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I figured it'd be a fun discussion: If science were able to prove beyond a shred of doubt that God (any definition of) and the afterlife did not exist, what affect, if any do you feel that would have on humanity?

If the vacuum is polarized around a object, it can lead to a repulsion force. Could a spacecraft polarize the vacuum around itself and use this as a propulsion device?

I address a lot of interesting topics here on this video. http://whoarethegreys.com/Untitled.wmv

I would like to hear from scientist that has had personal experiences they could not explain through their current knowledge of science. This could be anything from perceived miracles to experiments under lab conditions. I just thought this would be interesting and fun.

Here is a new Universe for thinking about in 2010. Wishing everybody all the best. We begin with a simple diagram (i love that): fig.01 We are living in Space at Present Time: the red spot in the center. the universe is there around us. Where is it? We know that all that we can observe belong to the Past.We cannot observe events from the future, and Relativity says that we cannot see anything from the present either, because information is always transmitted at speed max=C. So here is the Observable Universe: fig.02 Great. But, wait a moment: The Universe, by definition, must belong to Present Space, isn't it? So, the "real" present Universe must be as …

Who Came up with the idea that The great pyramids have power? For example Can you really put an edge on a razor blade if centered inside a pyramid

The wise men were not magicians. They were scientists, perhaps the ancient astronomers. "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts: gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."

I was initially going to post this on the Physics forum, but thought better of it as I expect it would quickly end up here anyway. Just not sure if it will get much of a look-in tucked away in the closet, so as to speak. Anyway, I did a search and can find no other posts about this so thought I'd bring it to the attention of a few of you. The science appears quite fascinating to me, but I'm wondering what I might be overlooking given that it is not my primary field of expertise. Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmFbINO0dCU&feature=channel Just one of many from this guy. Any thoughts on what might be happening here?

I am not pro enough at chemistry to know, but how complex can you make a equilibrium in terms of reactions. If you had some organic compounds, or for that matter some RNA, could you develop a equilibrium for reactions that as products and reactants shift, the RNA molecule or whole set of reactions could develop over time as to make new products and reactants to enter into the equilibrium? Such that maybe you had a single product/reactant set up going on, and then you added another chemical that could boost that up to two reactants/products, etc… Could you actually keep developing or adding on to that system. My idea would simply be to find a way to keep the whol…

"The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms." I believe that Einsteins Theory of Relativity is just not taken to the level of understanding which is possible with the knowledge gained from this natural phenomena. It states that time is relative to speed, while I believe that time is dependent on the motion of involved energy's. Here is my theory on Gravity (It isn't quite finished yet, as I've been coming to it's conclusion only as of late) and I welcome all criticism, regardless of content. Gravity and the Nature of the Physical Universe {Incomplete} The ma…

I wrote a short story a few years back about a rogue, very dense planet ( larger diameter than Jupiter ) on a collision course with our sun. My protagonist saves earth from total annihilation ( redundant? lol ) by engineering the the most astounding feat in Mankind's history. Moving Earth itself to a new home. Alpha Centauri. And I did it with physics. Yes. Earth makes a great space ship.

If an alien ship crashed in the 1940s and the military recovered it, why is the military technology so far behind(all you have to do to see how ancient military tech is is look at the computers on the latest and greatest aircraft carrier)? Surely in the past 70+ years we'd have been able to reverse-engineer something.

lol... we don't even know what kind of fire the sun is made of. come on guys... geeze. Once anything cross the static layer it's no longer matter. Black holes pierce space time (don't forget the negative electron universe here). The frequency of matter changes as its mass increases while approaching the black hole at the speed of light. In the Einstein classical variation this is impossible, but if you assume Maxwels position where the fHz changes as you get closer to light speed the state of matter changes in frequency. So the energy required to sustain your speed may in fact be less! But that's before you cross the static layer, because the interior of the b…

The ORBO claims to give off more energy than it takes in to a 3:1 ratio, using energy from interacting magnetic fields. This, to my mind, is classical pseudoscience, yet the CEO seems to be deluded to the point of a contestant in "Britain's Got Talent" or the "X-Factor". http://www.steorn.com/orbo/what/ A previous demonstration failed but the company continue to maintain that they have a clean energy source which can, one day, become a prime source for electrical cars etc...

I know this is a common question and that it may be a dull one. I have always wondered what separates human kind from the rest of the animals. I know as far as DNA, genetics, tissues, and what we are made of we are very similar to most animals, especially other mammals. I am also aware of our ability to use the opposable thumb, talk on a higher level, and our large brains (specifically large cerebral cortex) allow for logical thought beyond that of any mammal or animal. The biological differences between humans and some animals is still very small. Dolphins for example, have very large brains as well, but they seem to have no drive to manipulate the world around …

At the risk of annoying anyone, I would like to weigh in here. Mind? Last winter, when I was discussing my model with Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson ( name thrown in to lend credibility ... lol ... but I actually was ) I made the comment that 'space was infinite'. His response was "It is assumed to be so, but we have no proof." My rebuttal ( roughly ) was "We have Einstein's math, corroborating experiments, and observations. Einstein said space is uniform, unless disturbed by mass. Logically it makes sense that our 'local' universe would exist in curved space because all that mass/gravity is curving it. But why would anyone think that space only exists for the pleasure of o…

Brian Greene is a Keen Flying Machine: Spellbound, I will forever be under the baton of Nova's PBS broadcast Elegant Universe. Physicist Brian Greene is a Supreme and Empirical example of what it takes to become an American Idol. Anyone who can begin his fiat in real space-time with a one dimensional loop has my goat, I mean vote. There's no business like show business - like no business I know. The toughest business in the world. No I haven't stood in line to see the movie (stack it higher) yet, but I've read portions of the introduction to his book and all I can say is I've lost my ability to punctuate and misplaced any semblance of scientific inclination in the poten…

Moving away from my making a space ship thread, another feature in star trek consists of the "Beaming" method which can transport Someone from ony place to another. How could you do this in real life and what do you need? Ty Looking foward to the replies

Minimum Mass Solar Nebula (MMSN) model Caleb A. Scharf (Extrasolar Planets & Astrobiology, pg. 101) mentions the MMSN model, for the (vertically integrated) surface density, of the proto-Solar proto-Planetary disk: [math]\sigma® \equiv \sigma_{0} \left( \frac{r}{r_{0}} \right)^{-3/2}[/math] where [math]\sigma_{0} = 1700 \; g \; cm^{-2}[/math] and [math]r_{0} = 1 AU[/math]. The total disk mass is estimated to have been about [math]M_{disk} \approx 0.018 \; M_{\odot} \approx 6000 \; M_{\oplus}[/math]. Now, for the general case, of extra-Solar proto-Planetary disks, we have, for the disks' masses & angular momentums, the following mathematical defin…
