Speculations

Well, it's about time for one of my silly questions. I had asked once before if the gravitational field strength increased or decreased as one moves from the surface of say, the earth, to its core. The answer was that it decreases, roughly linearly, as one moves to the core - finally ending up at zero. Now, I can only assume this is the case as one moves from the surface of the earth, out into space, as well. From this assumption, I would conclude that the gravitational field strength is strongest on the surface. Are these correct assumptions, or have I missed the boat again? This is the setup for my question, in a fictional setting... Let'…

I love science fiction and read a lot. I also read a certain amount of fantasy. However, I have this feeling that a fantasy writer can get away with anything - worlds based on magic. However, a science fiction writer should respect good science, and try and get, at least the basics, right. Current book I am reading shows space aeroplanes flying into orbit with electric coils in their wings to ride on the Earth's magnetic field. Of course that is impossible, so I cringe. I suppose that even the idea of faster than light travel is really an impossibility and a cringe factor. However, I tend to accept at least one such piece of non science per book as a plot …

Can we compare physics and psychology? Libido is an energy source—Heat is an energy source—there is potential and kinetic energy Emotion aka instinct is an energy source— Narcissism is a force—gravity is a force—electromagnetism is a force—within the atom there are the strong and weak forces—there are four physical forces within nature. Narcissism is a force that displays itself in--self-absorption—self-love—sense of immortality—self-esteem—cosmic significance—self-importance—feeds on symbols, on abstract ideas of my own worth Guilt is a feeling caused by outside resistance Feeling—the mental experience of an emotion after the body has reacted to the …

A proposal to travel at the speed of light: Travel as Light. By having a machine scan a human and send his information via a computer encoded ensamble of photons, a human can send not only what he looks like, but his genetic makeup, every cell in his body, and every last bit of what he is in a strand of photons that are ordered in such a way that a computer can recieve them far away. The computer would decode this strand of light and with another machine far away, reassemble the human at the new location (the person that opted to be transported via beams of photons would be discarded of to preserve the theme of someone traveling and not just duplicating himself). T…

Time seems to be inversely related to speed to me. If I speed up to just under the speed of light, physical restrictions not withstanding, time slows down for me relative to anyone not moving as fast. It almost seems like we are constantly traveling forward through time as we are now, and can affect the speed at which we travel through time by increasing the speed at which we travel through space. If a man could bypass the flow of time of the rest of the universe by traveling quickly, it implies to me that time is an established dimension that can be traveled along just the same as the three spatial dimensions. My question is to what degree does this relativistic propert…

I thought the Cyclical Universe idea was thrown out with the discovery of dark energy, but I read an article in an astronomy magazine today that said String Theory involves a cyclical model where the universe contracts after the dark energy spreads the universe out because of a spring force that wasn't explained very well in the article. The magazine said that our universe was part of a cycle that repeats every trillion years or so. Is this an actual aspect of string theory? I've always been interested in the idea of eternal return. I wonder, if all of the particles in the universe were condensed back to the big bang moment, and the process were repeated in the same way,…

I don't buy into conspiracy theories, but in a debate with a friend, I was stumped by a few points he made. He gave me some YouTube links to check out (yeah, I know), but I'm still stumped. Mainly because I'm not a physicist or a structural engineer I suspect. Here are the points I could use some help with (I'm just trying to summarise his whole argument here): 1) Three buildings, despite suffering different structural damage (i.e. two being hit at different points and burning for different times, one not being hit at all apart from by debris from the othersl), all manage to fall tidily into their own footprint with almost no deflection or resistance from the more…

If we want to understand physics, first of all we have to understand, create a coherent picture of the nature of time. So in this thread I would like to discuss about consequences of hypothetical assumption that there is a possibility to influence the past - does it have to lead to contradictions (time paradoxes)? Observe that CPT conservation suggests that causality can go in both time directions... in general relativity we want more or less smooth 4D manifold - to minimize tensions from both time directions... http://www.advancedphysics.org/forum/showthread.php?p=52348 First of all, let's assume some interpretation of quantum mechanics ... physics. Some people be…

How would you imagine it work? Y'know, just for fun and to pretend.

The Twin Paradox seems to suggest that presentism can't be valid. How can an objective present time be established in these circumstances?

is that not what time is all about ? just the measurement of movement(s) by objects ?

Is being dead the same as not being not born yet? I am curious to see some opinions on this. If this is the wrong section, I apologise.

I am not a professional physicist, and I do not understand physics as well as most of you would, and I understand this is a very conditional idea. My question is: - If the Multiple Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is true, and - M theory or any other theory involving creations of other universes is true I am a possible outcome of the universe we live in, and have been realized here. Is it possible that I might also be a possible outcome of another universe, and therefore am, will be, or have been realized in another universe as well? This may be too far into the realm of pseudoscience or metaphysics. I'm not asking if it has been proven, only if it is …

HOW I THINK OUR UNIVERSE WAS RE -CREATED Billions of years ago, or in time passed our universe was void of light matter (visible matter) but consisted of only black (invisible) matter. Our universe was not yet re-created. Let us stop here for a moment . Let us go to a parallel universe that had existed for billions of years and was now dying. This universe was coming to its end cycle as the light visible matter of that universe was sucked in by massive black holes which converge together in what will be our future cosmic egg. When the very last particle of that universe was sucked in, our cosmic egg exploded forming our expanding visible light matter…

Ok first of all i want to know wether Black and Worm Holes exist. Iv'e read other's saying it's true and others saying it's not. Is there any proof that shows Black and Worm holes exist? All i know about Black hole's is that it sucks basically anything in its way, travelling faster than the speed of light can't outrun this phenomenon. On the otherhand, Wormholes is you can travel through space and time (shortcut), like traveling from galaxies to galaxies. Any suggestions?

How is it that an earth twin and space twin can both continuously share the same "now" while there clocks run at different rates? The universe only exists "now" its past is but history formed of a collection of successive past "now’s" and its future is yet to arrive. It follows that events can only occur "now" and that the lag between events occurring during former and later "now’s” cannot be measured by clocks. Thus a twin traveling at a speed approaching the speed of light, and his earth twin should share the same "now" while there clocks would run at different rates. Each event occurring could be viewed simultaneously by each of the twins (adjusting for the…

The laws of physics include the statement that space has a minimum energy level; the speed of light in a vacuum is calculated on the basis of experiments where 'absolute vacuum' still has that minimum energy level. The speed of light in a gap subject to the Casimir effect is slightly faster because the particle that carries the minimum energy (graviton) cannot enter the gap in its entirety, therefore the gap has a slightly greater vacuum force than the so-called absolute vacuum of 'empty' space. That is to say that the Scharnhorst effect is not against the Laws of Physics but, it does call for a slight adjustment to the current definition of 'absolute vacuum'. I…

Can we travel at light speed on a mega laser beams? Here is a video we made explaining how.

Make your own nuclear weapon using a laser printer; waste from any nuclear power plant or even from uranium mines is prime bomb material! This sums up the following article, which may disturb even experienced reader as safety illusions created by the nuclear industry inevitably shatters. Be warned and here you go! Beginning with the shell model of the nucleus, which has not been processed in public on this level since the Nobel-prizes. It is a system that has earned at least 4 different Nobels. The only somewhat recognized one Einstein received 1922 from photoelectric effect. He explained the mechanism of photon inflicted ionization which leads to an electrical ion…

im reading a book wich really opened my eyes to this, i love it. but i have one question about it. it talks about spaces possible/what they say probable curve, well i know there was that satelite that said that it wasnt, but i think that its just really too big for that satelite to catch its curve. but thats all off point, what i want to know is why people think that non space is just something that doesnt have anything and possibly has no time. it doesnt really explain why, but i want to know why they think that. is that what is still thought? how can anyone tell? why cant this non space above and under the curvature of space be something thats filled with stuff? co…

Previous submissions dealt with the Constant Linear Force model. This submission takes the CLF model explanation of field structure and uses it to solve the problems of electron radius as stated by Malcolm H. Mac Gregor in his book titled The Enigmatic Electron. The diagrams show that the classical electron radius is not the correct radius for the tables used in the CLF model papers, which now need amending; when that is done we will have a classical interpretation of particle structure that meets the requirements laid down by Mac Gregor. The question ‘what is the true radius of elementary particles?’ and in particular the electron radius has occupied the minds of p…

Much is being said regarding a galactic alignment in 2012. My children recently saw a program on doomsday prophecy, and now they are freaked out about 2012. I did some research, but did not see a clearly scientific statement as to the alignment being fact or hoax. Can you help?
