Speculations

Initial Thoughts on Spacetime Theories Its seems that spacetime theories are quite a mainstream theory. I came up with the idea of treating the mind as a dimension of spacetime, and I wasn’t aware of this. Its actually good, because then it cannot be so crack pot. The idea, is that consciousness is related to geometrical features, and are therefore called spacetime theories. I believe it was Arthur Eddington who first came up with the name to the theory, and advanced by Dr. John Smythies. It seems that the theory is based upon the proposal that the spacetime continuum we perceive in the four dimensional phenomenon, neither exists in time nor space… But w…

I was thinking about the concept of vacuum energy and how little is known about it. I had been giving thought to, similarly, how little is really known about gravity. For instance, the other similar force, electromagnetism ([math]F = \frac{C x_1 x_2} {R^2} [/math] for both forces where [math]C[/math] is the constant and [math]x_1 / x_2 [/math] are the two masses/charges) there is an attractive and a repulsive aspect to it whereas no repulsive aspect of gravity has been yet observed. From the equation, the parallel between charge and mass for the two forces can be drawn. Which lead me to think: From our present understanding, there seems to be a net repulsive force in …

this started out tongue-in-cheek over in IRC as we were taking the <you know what> out of these perpetual motion ideas. the main idea is in Bold below. <Klaynos> <YT-AWAY> they`re not even particularly Inventive anymore <--- right what you do is you get a magnet and a wheel and then gravity keeps it going on the long end... <YT-AWAY> basically all he`s done is put a yo-yo on a spring, and used a magnet instead of gravity <YT-AWAY> big deal <YT-AWAY> here`s one, how about capturing the energy from a falling weight and using that to lift soil from out a hole, as long as the weight was more massive per volume that the soil remo…

Since this topic is somewhat covering the expansion of the Universe, I'd like to ask what anyone thinks of this possibility: Could it be possible, that the expansion of the universe, is due to the increase of mass of the objects in it? Since Stars and Planets are collections of matter over time, would not the Increase in mass displace the "Fabric" of Space Time? As something grows heavier the space has to go somewhere right? It makes sense to me that this is why for example distances between Space time are increasing. Space Time might simply be stretching do to increased Mass of all these collections of Matter. How does the Expansion of the Universe Prove the Big…

we were reading the website of "Wikipedia" yesterday and we saw something weird saying: "Perpetual Motion Machines arent impossible but with evidence can there be a rewriting of the Laws of PHYSICS" Perpetual Motion machines can work we believe, only if you design them to do so. Physicists like Joules, Carnot etc developed The Laws of Thermodynamics so as to blame their inefficiency of making one that works Scientists if you dont know make up laws when the failed on attempting a Holy Grail and try to make their names better than being a fool. Carnot tried making a 100% heat engine. Isnt it? but failed and developed the 2nd law of thermodynamics What the…

Riding the time waves (separate essay) Abstract This is an essay evolved from my spacetime theory, essay one. My premise, is that the information in the subliminal realm of consciousness, which I define as being the same thing as the proposed ‘’Imaginal Realm Model,’’ of quantum physics, have a velocity of v>c. Wiki, an on-line source of information states: ‘’ Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.’’ wiki The velocity of a wave, can be defined many ways, and they are by theory found to be at different speeds. What I am interested in, is the spee…

sure it true that EINSTEIN through geometry understands and can predict where in the future an abject will be and invents space-time to do so. but because geomerty is not about any physical dynamics , or the cause of the geometry , this is where his theory falls short comments

As this is my first post here, hi to all - thanks for having me. I have for a while, no doubt like many, been absolutely fascinated by the above question, not just for the Physics involved, but the implied philosophy as well. So, a while ago I started "seriously" pondering the consequences that a "Theory of this Everything" must be able to resolve, and was especially bothered by how "contrived" String/M Theory seemed to me to be. An idea took root that I've sat on pretty much until last month, when I wrote a small paper on my ideas and passed it to a Physicist colleague who'd trained in Quantum Mechanics. "Wow!" was his first response along with lots of su…

Physics and the actual infinite (simplified) About Galileo and about the infinite After Archimedes, Galilei Galileo applied mathematics to physics. Alexandre Koyré wrote in "D'un monde clos à l'univers infini" that Galileo threw Earth in the Sky. For almost all ancient greeks, the Earth and the Sky were not connected and mathematics applied only to the Sky. Nowadays, scientists and philosophers think that the actual infinite cannot be applied in physics. So now is the time for furthering of Galileo of applying mathematics to physics. Establishing a link between the actual infinite and the Big Bang is furthering the insight of Galileo. The physical sp…

You know, some of the assumptions we make about the Big Bang are patently ridiculous. Take the cosmological principle. Sure, at the scale of galaxy clusters the universe is very homogeneous and that homogeneity extends for thousands of times the diameter of the Visible universe. But, not forever. We can be confident only out to, at most, around a million times the diameter of the vis u. before uncertainty completely dominates the argument. The best evidence we have is the WMAP data and it's only resolute to 25 parts per million or so. And the temperature of the CMB radiation that it measures varies over 1 part in 10,000 (not absolutely homogeneous to begin with…

Hi, I am new in this forums. And i want to say hi. There is a container for making baked cakes that my mom uses. In it the mixture is put into and when baked reverse the container. Can that container like objects can be made to fly with mind power? ------------------ eric

Is a well-stated and well-excepted theory of quantum mechanics and Relativity. It states that every type of solid matter with rest energy is nothing but trapped forms of Luxon energy: Particles which move with a velocity equal to that of lightspeed. In 1997, scientists where able to make particles from pure light. This was the confirmation needed to give us a theoretical model stating that all matter was in fact just trapped light. Here, Isaac Newton speculates the very nature of transumatations concerning light and matter with rest energy… ‘’Are not gross Bodies and Light convertible into one another, and may not Bodies receive much of their Activity from th…

(Excerpt: Those who are demanding, are only looking for the same truth as you) The Three Principles of Consciousness (Recently, my model of consciousness has evolved. I figure that the following results are required for a model of the brain and cognitivity.) As much as it might seem at times that the mind is totally ''free'' of the boundaries of time, it really isn't. In fact, it's just that we have a phenomenally-complex outlook on existence, that existence itself seems so ''defied;'' and this illusion is brought on by three principles of mind. 1. The Principle of Expectancy 2. The Principle of Uncertainty 3. The Principle of Certainty Time, as …

First, a quote from the Wiki page on Fractals: A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A fractal often has the following features: It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales. It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language. It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically). It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater th…

I was provided with a link to Einsteins View on the compatibility of an aether with relativity on another site. It has made me think a bit further on the nature of the proposed aether. Einstein says that for the aether to be consistent with Relativity it can not be thought of as existing of individual particles in relation to which motion can be measured. But then how can it have the needed properties for electromagnetic radiation and gravity to exist? Logic dictates that everything is infinitely devisable, for when you choose to stop dividing after any number of divisions you could still in principle divide to yet another level. So if you take it to the limit (pun intend…

One of science's greatest mysteries, solved! By Red Green: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJJrjDI5xSQ

You certainly have the roads you want to go down picked out. I've already been there, and can recommend some reading for you that you might find extremely interesting. Personally I consider these people crackpots, but I think you'd get a kick out of them: John Searle: Famous for his "Chinese Room" thought experiment which attempts a reductio ad absurdum against functionalism. Proponent of "biological naturalism," the idea that consciousness arose naturally but can only be a property of biological systems. Christopher Michael Langan: Famous for his high IQ, and a proponent of the "Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe", or CTMU (pronounced cat mew). His mod…

More pseudoscience or science fact? This is your call. Like most people, I felt deflated post 1989 when no-one could replicate the cold fusion experiments of Fleischmann and Pons and felt that the two scientists were fakes. This is suggested as typical pseudoscience. However, Japanese researchers have claimed cold fusion from using a Double Structure cathode where deuterium ions are introduced on to a Pd coated electrode where the deuterium ions fuse together by cold fusion. It is interesting that the journal appears to be peer reviewed so that it revives the theory again. 'The DS-cathode first used consisted of a Pd bottle-shaped outer cathode filled with…

The problem with SR is in Einstein's algebra and logic. Have you read and critically analyzed the first three secytions of ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES? HannonRJ: Yes. Using nothing but newtoniam mechanics.

what if the actual temperature of the moon, and it's composition, could it be that there's mercury, and that it's predisposed in it's way to attract meteorites...as the sun is hot and expelles heat...? what if the sun being our closest planet is actually representing the last cycle of a planet before emerging like ours and that the further u go, moon, mars, mecury...etc...is the primary stages of our earth's creation???? what i mean is what if we can imagine we're at the peak of our universe and that the further u go from the sun, u actually go back in sections of time...? one planet one time reference...????

Dear Copperstream and Klaynos, The value of G will reduce to near zero as the universe collapses, resulting in a 'bounce' due to the enormous temperature and pressure. This happens on smaller scales too, causing the spherical void phenomenon. It is described more in http://www.gravity.uk.com, sister website of http://www.rescalingsymmetry.com , which gives evidence for the proposal. John Hunter.

I pose a simple question to all. My question is this: Why are we not using Zero Point energy? I say 'using' because A) it certainly exists (proof: casimir effect) and B) it can be tapped (hundreds of over unity machines built and functioning out there). Put rather simply, we have the potential to save mankind from almost certain extinction. Why are we PRETENDING it does not exist?

It has been suggested to me, that i might be draining people of attention with my threads, because i am soley working on consciousness... so i thought maybe this was right, time for a new thread. In physics, the multiverse theory is a difficult theory to accept - well, at least it is for me - the only way i could describe my contempt for it is the way Einstein rejected the path of Quantum Mechanics. The reason for this is simple. I do not believe the Universe can so easily split off into as many universe-possibilities as there are actualities, every time something comes to do anything - especially in the case of ourselves. Fair enough, the theory of Parallel Univ…

No point writing out a massive essay. Let's keep this as short as possible, so that we can keep on track. Here is my arguement... Without consciousness, spacetime as we know it would become abstract, simply because reality is relative to the perception of an observer. Without this so-called ''abstract'' reality of consciousness (which evidently arises from actual quantum fluctuations), is afterall, the only reality at large. I can qoute many physicists stating this fact. For what would reality be, without the observer there to give it meaning... or putting it another way... The reality of existence as we know it, would cease to exist without the observer, so p…

I opened this week's New Scientist and was in for a bit of a shock when I saw a full-page ad title "No Black Holes (General Relativity Contradicts Itself)". The clincher: Surprise! You can read the full text of the ad here (we may leave a comment to let the author know we're discussing his ad). I'm naturally a tad skeptical (the argument doesn't make sense to me), but I thought I'd open this up to a typical SFN free-for-all. What do you think? Another crackpot?
