Speculations

According to QM, a particle of mass m is associated w/ a spatially extended (normalized) Wave Function [math]\psi(\vec{r})[/math]. At any given point in space, that WF corresponds to a Mass Density of [math]m \; \psi^{*}(\vec{r}) \; \psi(\vec{r})[/math]; an Energy Density of [math]\psi^{*}(\vec{r}) \; \hat{E} \psi(\vec{r})[/math] (where [math]\hat{E} = i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}[/math] is the Energy Operator); and a Momentum Density of [math]\psi^{*}(\vec{r}) \; \vec{p} \psi(\vec{r})[/math] (where [math]\vec{p} = - i \hbar \vec{\nabla}[/math] is the Momentum Operator). These well-defined spatial quantities, all of real values, could be plugged straight into…

The passive inertia is caused by the passive motion of time-space. The active inertia is caused by the active motion of time-space in spherical time-space. The passive inertia is determined by mass. But, the active inertia is decided by the curvature of time-space and speed of time-space motion. For example, the variable of the reaction in the Newton's law is determined by the active inertia.

I know about time dilation, for instance if I have two hour glasses. and I place one on a spaceship and leave the other on earth, then I accelerate the spaceship to near light speeds. The hour glass on the spaceship will have far more grains of sand left in the top half of the hour glass, than the hour glass on Earth. What mechanism was responsible for this? How does time effect the grains of sand in the hour glass? And one of the things I'm having trouble understanding is; how does the clock measure time against the universe. If a clock is just small mechanical or electrical parts moving about, why does the clock slow down? What I'm asking is, Is time purely me…

There indeed are many theories and laws pertaining to the fabric of our universe. I recently forward a thesis of my own ideas in this forum, in another thread. It is apparent, given some thoughtful feedback, that this first effort was, admittedly, rather poor from physics point of view. Embarrassed, but not discouraged! It has thus been rewritten, with arguments clearer, but also it remains a work in progress, and is still considered rough around some of the edges. Super thanks to all who contributed and to those who might still yet do so. Years ago, people placed the earth as the center of the universe and envisioned a sun that revolved around it. Indeed, what a …

:eyebrow:The Null Theory at first sounds incorrect. How can something which does not exist effect reality and the Universe. Or even how can nothing itself have influence. Think about null potential and hand in hand with such kinetic energy. If you drop a ball from a great height it can wipe out a city and nature abhors a vacuum. In fact The Null Theory can even explain all of motion in The Universe for things keep trying to fill empty space/void. This is in no way confused with ether which is just 'closer' to nothingness. Now, the zero-point-field theory plus many others state there can never be 'nothing' or 'empty space' in The Universe, however such instances state noth…

Chuck Norris (Lepton) Where does anti matter go? I read somewhere that for every particle of matter ''created'' there is an antimatter equvalent. So what happened to the antimatter? Last edited by Chuck Norris; September 3rd, 2009 at 5:29 AM. swansont (Shaken, not stirred) Physics Expert Moderator That's one of the big unanswered questions of cosmology and particle physics. Antimatter can change into matter in some rare circumstances, called CP (charge+parity) violation, but the observed events (in Kaons and B mesons) do not happen often enough to account for the disparity.

If all existing "things", matter/energy,or whatever, are actually touching when it comes to infinitely small volumes, then how can there be movement in the Universe? It's an accepted fact that there is motion in the Universe so shouldn't we be concluding that, in infinitely small volumes of the Universe there is the pure vacuum of "nothing" that allows for this movement of everything else?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could direct me (or help me tackle directly) to information. My mother is dangerously close into buying into this particular bit of pseudoscience: http://www.naturalsaltcrystallamps.com/how-salt-lamps-work.html I need to create a scientifically sound argument to present to her before she falls further off the ladder.

Dear ladies and gentlemen! I offer you a material for joint research. For acquaintance to a material it is presented more than 80 found subjects and 270 photos which have embodied products made by the person, and also a fossil: remains of people, dinosaurs, other animals and plants. Possibly it only a part of a museum which has been created in a vicinity of Moscow, during the various periods is long an epoch of dinosaurs existing on the Earth. According to scientific dating this period proceeded during 150 million years, beginning from 220 up to its termination 65 million years ago.

Standard Relativity texts describe the fabric of Space-Time as being like a proverbial rubber-sheet, which stretches under the weight of masses put upon it. Now, that analogy requires that the rubber sheet (2D "Flatland") exist in an external Gravity field, pointing perpendicular to the rubber sheet (3D "Hyperspace"). It is that Gravity field that drives the masses down into the rubber sheet. To wit, in the rubber sheet analogy: Gravity from 3D interacts w/ mass embedded in 2D "Flatland", telling it how much to warp the rubber sheet The warp of the rubber sheet tells the masses how to move This compares with the oft-said phrase, from basic textbooks, th…

The theory that Casimir cavities represent an abrupt equivalence boundary is not new, In 2002 a paper "Vacuum fluctuation force on a rigid Casimir cavity in a gravitational field" by Italian researchers Enrico Calloni, Luciano Di Fiore, Giampiero Esposito, Leopoldo Milano, Luigi Rosa discusses the possibility of verifying the equivalence principle for the zero-point energy of quantum electrodynamics, by evaluating the force, produced by vacuum fluctuations, acting on a rigid Casimir cavity in a weak gravitational field. In 2005 a math paper by Jan Naudts contends that fractional quantum state argument against hydrino state overlooks relativistic solutions In 2007 Ron…

I think gravity is just conservation of energy really. I mean without conservation of energy what would the universe look like, or what would the universe look like without gravity, would you have any ability to make classifications like space or time? It would seem to me that a particle or body could just arbitrarily gain or lose energy without causality really, or that something could just be here or there or anywhere. I think another nifty aspect of this would be during the big bang, I mean if all the stuff in the universe was undergoing some form of symmetry transformation in such an intense gravitational field, could that be why atoms exist, as it was the universe in…

I get regular reports from various health advocates that claim that there is evidence that this swine flu vaccine has in the past and is now causing major health concerns. (many adverse effects to the drug has been reported, some crippling people for life.) It is suggested that while x number of people will die from swine flu, many more will certainly die from side effects of a swine flu vaccine if it is forced on Americas population. This number of deaths would greatly outweigh the normal deaths of swine flu victims who did not live through the treatments for the disease. ( sorry for the typos.. it happens cus i've been up all night) What have you head about this…

The double slit experiment is indistinguishable from magic, and yet some people are so certain magic does not exist! Mod note: thread split off from magic or not

(1) According to the National Geographic Channel documentary Naked Science -- Birth of the Solar System (TV), scientists have detected Iron-60 isotopes in meteorites. Iron-60 comes exclusively from Supernovae events, and has a relatively short Half-Life. Therefore, Iron-60 typically decays before traveling very far from its source. Thus, this strongly suggests, that the nascent Solar System was w/in about 20 light-years of some Supernovae event. (2) About 4.6 billion years ago, when our star system was born, it was comparatively metal-rich, for its time & place: In the Galaxy as a whole, the Star Formation Rate peaked about 8 to 10 billion years ago…

can some one help me with this. Every nite just as I go to sleep I feel an electrical shock. Im not sure what it is. I keep telling everyone its below the floor from the apartment below. How could someone see electricity if it were coming thru the floor? It's starting to make me ill. I move the bed and for a while i can sleep then this jolt and i get zapped again. Could some one see electric current through night vision or some sort of new vision tec. I feel like im getting cooked.

As an EET thread has been banned, i will, on the advice of a moderator, approach the issue from the other direction. Now this site can explain issues with plate tectonics far better than me (if you are interested, please see below). http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dp5/lowman.htm#su Do we have something worth investigating?

It seems that pseudoscience, while often colourful, sometimes stimulating and - on occasion - entertaining, suffers from shortcomings which are dependent on the wielder of the hypothesis under scrutiny. Unlike conventional scientific theory, which is based upon a continually progressing and narrowing identification of event-level observations that can be demonstrated and explained via the scientific method, there is no unilateral standard within pseudoscience that restricts any one individual or group of individuals to a single approach to any given problem. Without such control, it is only a matter of time before any pseudoscience hypothesis spins wildly out of…

Hi, I'm new here and I'm not a scientist, mathematician or engineer. I have a few thoughts on perpetual motion machines I would like to share, and then open this to discussion. (By the way I started this exact discussion on a popular physics forum and got banned for life without explanation except to say I was a discussing "crackpot spam." I trust the forum mods here will not be so short sighted. As you will see there is nothing crack pot in a serious discussion of perpetual motion machines.) I remember back in the 1980s as a school boy learning about perpetual motion machines. The teachers said they were impossible. I have always been convinced otherwise. Laying …

Very good. Perhaps you can address the issue and not me? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged Again, focus on me all you wish and you learn nothing, focus on my discoveries and your view of quantum mechanics will become more real than imaginary. When you guys are through with my ass, take a look at my work. http://www.youtube.com/patp2

This may not be valid anymore but I haven't heard anything on it in years. It was determined years ago that at the very exact moment of death a small amount of weight is lost. The scientist who studied this took into account every possible physical cause they could think of as to why this should be. Someone postulated that this unaccounted for weight loss is the human soul leaving the body. I know some scientist don't believe in the existence of the human soul. What do you think this weight loss represents if not the soul? Does anyone know of further research into this?

Just a question I wanted to pose to you all. From what I can see, most if not all experiments to do with 'c' have been verified through the speeding up or slowing down of atomic clocks based on whether they are within close proximity to earth, in space, or moving relative to a stationary target on earth (no need to point out that the stationary target is not actually stationary). So is the 'c' in the equation just referring to the density of ether with specific reference to the timeframe in question, rather than the fact that a light beam will always measure 'c' to moving sensors? I think it is the former. Thinking about E=mc^2 in terms of light beams and …

Hey Guys, I joined a long while back but did not participate. I know bringing up the idea of the possibility of an intelligent designer of the universe on a science forum is not exactly a good idea. Anyway I see that it could fit into the bracket of pseudoscience So lets bounce off the topic ans see where it goes if anywhere My case (in a totally a non irreligious way) could be the exactitude of the cosmological constants, that if even one differed minutely we would never have come into existence Alan

......or what would be the greatest invention/discovery of all time ? Read on, i'm new ! Hello all, Since I was a kid i've always felt that I was going to do something great or miraculous in my life. I'm not sure what this thing is. I was never particularly interested in Science at school and to be honest it bored me rigid. Science Fiction has never been my favourite type of book r film (although I did like Asimovs 'Foundation' series). I was never very good at Maths or anything practical. I have never found mechanics or engineering very interesting (although when I have attempted anything mechanical I have found I am pretty good at it). I'm really just an…
