Speculations

I have studied the Grand Canyon a little bit and throughout my research many people referenced the creation of the canyon to have formed primarily via river erosion. While I do not doubt that a river has eroded the walls of the canyon I do not believe it is responsible for it's great expanse. Searching the USGS earthquake database I found the following information regarding the total amount of earthquakes having been recorded since the seventies. The grand canyon has by far the greatest ocurrances of earthquakes which suggests it has the greatest potential for tectonic movement. The Grand Canyon 36.3N -113W 300km radius 936 quakes 500km radius 9860 quakes …

The story I've heard: Earth is an experimental ground. Current human race is the latest patch of the experiment. The time has come close weather or not to destroy this patch. The discussion amongs our maters has broke out into votes: 1/ The experimental must be filter and destroy now 2/ This is a crutial time to filter out more successive ones. The reason why this experiment be destroyed because when the human race realized who they are and what kind of power they have, they are much more powerful than their own master. Thus, without achieving the standard moral necessary to control this power, humans are a threat to this universe. The story of Adam an…

I've been waiting to hear more about this conference regarding the Bosnian Pyramids. This article lists the following participants in the The First International Scientific Conference on the Bosnian Pyramids. http://www.philipcoppens.com/nap_icbp.html I followed it in from this website... http://www.bosnianpyramid.com/index_Files/News.html It mentions that the following people have validated the dig site and all members at the conference were in agreeance that the dig should be continued. "The conference was opened in the presence of the vice-president of the Federation Spomenka Micic, the minister for tourism of the federal government Nevenko H…

As this seems to be the forum for idiots to spout off half-baked ideas, I figured I'd chime in with my own two cents. So I recently (in the past 6 months or so) read Lee Smolin's now outdated book Three Roads to Quantum Gravity. The central theme of his book is that spacetime is discrete and is probably best modeled by forms like spin networks or spin foam. But Smolin's book is, at this point, some 7 years old and not exactly representative of the state of the art in modern physics. The "traditional" approach involves a continuous spacetime. There are no discrete structures, there's nothing special going on at the scale of the Planck length, and spacetime conta…

Nonsense. The heat from the sun would force the Earth away like a piston is forced down on the power stroke of an internal combustion engine. The Earth wouldn't have a leg to stand on. It would be forced away as the sun got closer.

Hi All, This is my first post here on this forum. Glad to be here. This forum looks and feels much better than PhysicsForum, and more open and tolerant. I want to give more insight about a holitic theory I developed in 2002, and of course I am open for critics and questions. My theory is about cosmology and the growth of complexity, from fundamental particles, atoms, molecules to complex organisms. Pelastration is a coupling mechanism in spacetime development. The term pelastration combines PEnetration and eLASTic and STRAtification (layers). I see spacetime as a real physical phenomenon. To me spacetime is a dynamic oscillating membrane, non-breakable…

Suppose we take the view that quantum physics is science. If we adjoin to quantum physics all of the untestable, far-reaching mathematical implications of quantum physics, would we still have a scientific theory? Shubee

duality IS physics says this retired Physicist, still internet researching/publishing at http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hall/2638/1MrMorganNewPhysics.doc When you can see the electron as a helical string wave of 1/h-squared Higgs particles then you have arrived at New Physics

ALERT! ALERT! DRIVEBY RANT! So ... if the universe was in bounce mode for all eternity, what happened at the beginning?

If anyone is interested: "do you have a new theory"? YES, lots. Can I tell you about them? NO; not here unfortunately, too much censorship appears to be the rule. Look for me in due course at frostcloud. I can take the calculus and pendulum equation tests there. (Thank God for Captain Panic; how do you survive this place? ) See ya all Imagine (Why does almost nobody? have apparently any lack of cowardice here???? Trying to be nice but dictatorship hacks me off ...)

On another forum a user was joking about using nuclear weapons to divert or partially dissipate hurricanes. While it's perhaps the most unfeasible and the least environmental idea ever I think the idea is sort of interesting. I looked at some hurricane data, pulled out a few variables out of my ass (which I found to be common practice in this part of the forum), did a few energy conversions and came to the conclusion that the wind energy dissipated by a matured hurricane per day could perhaps be rivaled by a thermonuclear weapon in the 30Mt range. The energy dissipated through water condensation is much larger though, so I'm not sure how that fits in. Anyway, should a cou…

Hello, this is my first post at this forum. To my knowledge, it breaks no laws, but I do not know all the laws of the world. I have a method of analysing information. It is like calculus, as it involves integration, and differentiation. I call it "math-free analysis; because it effectively makes number (or "counting") optional. You could say it "stops time"' allowing time to run as you please. The method is this: write out the problem as simply as possible. Find common ground between two of the concepts in the problem. When this common ground has been found, separate the two aspects on the common ground, usually by one step only (that is the "math-free" p…

Hello everyone, I wonder how to define light speed. Imagine a solitary particle. It isn’t moving toward or away from anything so it “looks” like its still. There is no way to ascertain if it is moving or how fast. Movement and inertia are the same. Is this the nature of light speed? I was kicked off a physics forum for twice posting this notion, so they see it as crackpottery. A generous compliment, I think.

I have for a great time been trying to find information on a subject of interest. This topic is the deminishing water supply of the world. I have put alot of thought into it and have come up with a sort of hypothosis. Given the fact that many scientists say(and their research confirms) that we only have so much water on this planet, and that the amount only veries by slight degrees. My question and hypothosis are one in the same....Could the fact that we bottle billions of gallons of water cause the depletion of water else where....as in could our bottling of water cause a small town in africa go without water because that water is no longer accessible to the overall envi…

On the McNeill- Lehrer news hour 05/05/05 there was a debate on subject topic . It was the usual 'if there is a clock there must be a clockmaker type argument " . NOBODY , however raised the obvious question host or guests , raised the question of well over a billion & half years of biological incrementalism in honing the complexity of the mechanisms of being "alive " as we understand it now . In an earlier issue of Scientific American ( I forget the issue ) there was an article on molecules capable of self replication ; surely it is not an impossible jump to say eons of natural selection on such entities could give us what we have now ? PS I totally reject the con…

We need a war on hurricanes, Brian Sandler brian334@peoplepc.com I recently received a patent on a machine designed to destroy hurricanes. At my website http://bsandler.com there is a complete description of the machine. Please contact me at the above address if you have any questions. Thanks, Brian Sandler

just had some thoughts on the issue of higgs and dark matter/energy. consciousness (not individual but universal) is pretty much energy. In terms of quantum physics it could be said that it is consciousness that collapses waves of potential matter in to localizable real matter. Furthermore it is energy (consciousness) that holds separate particles together. If i am not mistaken it is upon joining that the elementary particles gain mass. Could it be consciousness instead of higgs that provides mass, also could this be related to dark matter/energy. Although this is probably utter nonsense to a physicist it must be remembered that our entire reality occurs wit…

space time is wrong. You may as well know this now rather than later someday, i agree. see my paper at nevpw.com nevpw.com see nevpw.com - relativity destroyed

In my last thread http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34145 i was talking about mass, as a stumbling block for description in binary way. Origin of mass is most important problem in modern physics.Discovery of Higgs my be solving this question. Simple interpretation of Higgs mechanism is 2+2=3+1.(L.B. Okun, Leptons and Quarks, NorthHolland, Amsterdam, 1982,. Section 20.4) This interpretation very close to metasymmetry idea.But metasymmetry more comprehensive, because illustrates: 1) 3 of 4 fundamental interactions (strong, electromagnetic, weak) are relatively closed by their intensity magnitude but are greatly different from gravitational Again the …

Ok, so before god there was 0 dimensions, dark matter. Then, just like radioactive isotopes, then decided to split up like to hot climate and dark climate. Thus, big bang happened. Because, the antimatter changed into two different types of matter but some chilled out and stayed at dark matter. They created all 12 dimensions, the 1st 2nd and 3rd of inorganic matter, and 1st 2nd and 3rd dimension of organic matter. from there, the kept evolving and de-evolving to adapt to their environment. But, time is only an measurement. The 1st thru 3 dimension is only, like a piece of paper, inorganic. The 4th thru 6th dimension would be like a 1st dimension of time, unable to move, b…

Professor Brian Cox of CERN and TV fame has expressed his concern that a fundamental flaw in our understanding of gravity seems increasingly likely, especially if the forthcoming LHC experimental results turn out to be unexpected. I am convinced that I have found the stumbling block of modern physics: The OBVIOUS reason of how the moon causes the ocean tides is that it pulls on the Earth's inner core, creating a flexure of the lithosphere, rather than acting on the seawater directly itself. Once you have the simple picture in your mind, you'll never go back. You'll never look at the sea the same again. Modern satellite technology has measured the seafloor to rise …

What kind of impact does a subatomic particle have on the laws of physics? Does the particle compel the properties of law, or does the law compel the properties of the particle? Or is that a chicken and the egg? I’m bored, and playing with my psychokinesis thing again, and was wondering about the idea of an elementary particle brokering such a concept. Is it plausible that one subatomic particle (that is, if we could get god to inject it in all the atoms of the universe for us) could possess the properties to provide the mechanism for forces we might exploit in the form of psychokinesis? Remember, this is for fun, so please don’t beat me up because I’m a dumb…

I am putting forward the idea of The fifth dimension. I see it as the change an object exhibits and importantly the planes they move into when forces internal or external (or no force at all) are applied. Some examples 1) Evolution causes an object to move in the fifth dimension 2) The forces acting on a planet cause it to move in the fifth dimension 3) Getting hooked on crack causes one to move in the fifth dimension These objects exhibit characteristics relative to their place in the fifth dimension. Taking the last example the crack addict could wind up as a hopeless bum if he hadn't taken crack in the first place he could've been wealthy which is why I …

Michelson Morley ran an experiment using an interferometer to look for the aether relative to the earth's sun. He found a displacement which was proportional to the square of the velocity... If the aether was relative to the sun. Effectively this experiment found a displacement pattern which is visible within the light spectrum but relative to the sun. Correct? What did he find which was thrown away as experimental error? Any help would be much appreciated as I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson-Morley_experiment

Martin if the Universe is expanding then could this not be simply an illusion ? for example and this is my biggest argument against BB is that when thinking three dimensionaly why would not all expansion from say 100 different galaxies around our galaxy , come to a conclusion that there is null expansion ? because all perspectives from different galaxies would see expansion toward us
