Speculations

Say, if you went back in time and changed something. Like for example, you went back to the day that you decided indefinetly that you were going to be an engineer, but then you go back and make your past self change his/her mind. Wouldn't you disapear as you made your past self decide not to be an engineer, then you wouldn't be there because that choice would lead to many different choices. Also, if you were to show yourself to your past self, what would happen??

The timeline spiral. Let us take a point as begining of everything in the example. Place existed of this point and time is place of limit approached from negative to 0. Let us take minimal quantity of passage of time conditionally (T). If we accept to take the know point all matter or the universe then they received the following situation: Then for the next past (T) time: Here a and b is the new timeline arising when each (T) time is passed. If we include the conception of paralel universes here, then will arise of the following shaped spiral lines: Here: a, b, c, d are the lines of the time spiral. If we imagine that there is thing N1 in our hand. Then t…

What do scientists mean when they say that an explanation or entity must be natural in order for it to be scientific?

My perspective of 4D Space-time is from the future on the time axis intercept looking down on the zero intersect with the 3D spatial axis called the "present". This narrow time interval is not measurable and our only awareness derived by differential measurements. We can only measure accumulated time dilation measured between different inertial frames such as the twin paradox. Our time perception appears based on relative motion between the fabric of time though space which is why C and Bohr radius always appear constant within our inertial frame. I propose that at an atomic level a temporal perspective would show orbitals forming halos of different radii while the vorti…

I believe (or perhaps I should say I'm under the mistaken impression) that we can use statistical analysis of the collision points of entangled photons to send information faster than the speed of light. To begin with, we need two light beams, produced by passing our source beam through a beam splitter, which is 50% reflective in one direction and 50% transparent in the other. These beams travel along for awhile and then are optically directed to interfere with each other, producing the classical interference pattern of the double slit experiment. If we are to introduce a "which path detector" on one of the beams coming out of the beam splitter, trying to figure …

Stories are at the heart of human understanding. The story an electron tells us when it hits our eye or equipment. The story an authority figure tells us to teach us. The story we tell ourselves to explain and plan our thoughts and actions. The story we tell our teacher to explain our failures. --- (some defintions from Google) narrative: a message that tells the particulars of an act or occurrence or course of events; presented in writing or drama or cinema or as a radio ... a piece of fiction that narrates a chain of related events; "he writes stories for the magazines" floor: a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position a…

I am posting this interesting paper as a background to talk about this: Hydrino Article

About 13.8 billion years ago universe -as we see it - had its energy very densely formed. Nowadays the same energy is way more than less condensed. There is no reason to doubt that same phenomenon couldnt effect on the very same energy that the nucleus of an atom has! Nucleuses of atoms had accordingly changed for less dense energy. Concomitantly expanding atom nucleuses have radiated their energy in a form of waves which have nature of electrons and particles. Electrons confront energy-waves from the adjacent atom nucleuses and interact with them. At this point new electrons are born in to them which create changes of pressure into energy-waves that they conf…

The evolution of life on Earth of the simpler to the more comlplex organisms. A look at the timeline of evolution is a good place to start. A very good one is available at: http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Timeline_of_evolution .We can see from this timeline that life began with the prokaryotes 3.8 billion years ago.From then it took another 1.8 billion years to evolve the simplest eukaryotes. From then another 1 billion years before the simplest multi-cellular organisms. The first fish and proto-amphibians .5 billion years later. From then another .14 billion years for true amphibians to emerge. Reptiles appear .6 billion years later.Mammals emerge .1 billion …

Background radiation level is constantly increasing mostly because of civilian nuclear power. Radiation is said not to store into matter but actually that is one of the basic attributes of radiation in a frictionless quantum world. Neutron activation is the most straight forward mechanism. Nuclear reactors produce 1,5 excess neutrons per fission which must escape the reactor not to make it over-critical. As an electrically neutral particle neutron penetrates matter easily especially after 30 years (former operation maximum) the structures of a power plant become fully saturated and they pass into the environment. Neutrons that are not absorbed nor traveling throu…

I was wondering: how could you go faster than the speed of light if light is the theoretical "limit"? My hypothesis is that if you were to rapidly convert a massive piece of matter into energy, then back to matter, and back to energy again (keep repeating the process), then the sudden appearance and disappearance of matter would send ripples in space itself around say, a ship this was mounted on. This effect would effectively shorten (or lengthen) the length between point A and B . Then, if you were to go the speed of light, you would reach point B faster than if you went the speed of light the conventional way. Unless this effect lengthened space... Please give me f…

I'm back for more speculation. I would like to construct an origin point A, but this can't be done unless there is prior space to place it in, so I'll call the space SP. Alternatively, I would like to construct a space, but this requires a focal point as reference. This means an empty space and a focal point are reliant and no construct can be made without dual elements. It can't be said that a space is prior to the origin or vice versa since these are simultaneously required. Having no prior or causal property there is no duration, hence an empty space is not actually requisite of time, or it could be said that there is one event so duration is exactly 'o…

What's missing ? How come we haven't worked out how to do this yet ?

I was wondering if there is any evidence that any part of ourselves exists in another dimension even after death when our bodies have decayed. I understand that our sentience is likely just mechanical in essence, and I dont expect to have any ability to see, feel, hear, or even think as we do while alive, as our brain is who we are and it functions like a machine, yet it is organic. I would like to know if there is any evidence that we aren't just walking organic machines, or if consciousness could exist in another dimension, but without our attached brain machines, we would be unable to think, feel, hear, etc I have clung to the idea that maybe, after the 100…

Does sound in general give support to quantum decoherence? I know the human ear is probably not registering sound on a quantum level, but could sound support quantum decoherence? I mean the measurement problem is not a solved deal, but with decoherence I think it makes a bit of sense. If no physical body could interact you could have no observation, or measurement, or anything. In such activity energy is typically involved, and energy comes in quanta right? So for instance giving the uncertainty principal, should phonons or sound in general always be random to some extent, or for example why is there any regularity to sound production giving any physical objects capa…

I believe that light is instantaneous and I refer this thought process to a paper that I have written “The Instantaneousness of Light and the Four Models of Light Measure”, which can be Goggled. Concerning time and space There is no doubt that even the most average person would know the difference between time and space. Space is a measure of our manipulation, in terms of man being able to affect a phenomenon. Space is represented by the squaring of three lengths- length, width, and height. Time is often considered the fourth dimension. In terms of the other three dimensions, time has no significance outside the living organism. Time is a purely man-made measur…

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.
