Speculations

Take my word for it, I need this formula and value. IF the electron in a hydrogen atom were in a 2 dimensional elliptical orbit such that it passed so closely to the proton that the separation was negligible(assume it is separated from center of mass of the proton by the radius of the proton with the proton at one focus of the ellipse.). Assume an apogee of the Bohr radius. What would the average kinetic energy be, The max (@perigee) and the min(@apogee)?

What might its peak velocity be and how would its apparent mass compare to its rest mass?

Non-locality has been a main issue between Relativity and Quantum since almost a century, even if Bohr has been considered all this time as the winner of his debate with Einstein. Von Neumann was the first not only to formalize quantic theory, but also to give a mathematical justification to Bohr's conviction that his (Copenhagen) interpretation of the empirical results of quantum physics was the only correct one. Bohm valiantly attempted to revitalize an old de Brolie theory and base his own interpretation on the idea of the pilot wave, a wave that transports particles, as an alternative to Bohr's approach. His theory opened the way to the possibility of hidden vari…

Has anyone ever investigated the idea that the nature of light quanta could actually be the nature of matter to accept energy in specific quantities?

Is there evidence of the particle nature of light in laser interaction?

When an electron is said to have spin, what exactly is spin?

This is a spin-off of my thread "Double slit experiments and superposition". In that thread I had limited myself to that kind of experiment to argue that the so-called superpositon of particles was more a theoretical assumption/conclusion than an empirical fact. People reproached me to limit the discussion artificially and ignore interferometers, especially the Mach-Zehnder interferometer that is considered by many authors as the logical and practical equivalent of the double slit experiment. I will take this equivalence for granted, even though I think it is much more complicated than that. Still, I cannot deny that the same questions can be asked in both exper…

Does anyone else look at this and think echinoderm version of a worm?

The double slit experiment and Superposition The double slit experiment takes a special position in physics in that it is used as a "crucial experiment" both by classical and quantum Physics. While the first, classical physics, shows an understandable historical preference for light, quantum Physicists, also very understandably, very often use electrons to get their point across. When electrons or photons are ejected in the direction of the two slits, some strange things happen: 1) with one slit open we see the expected pattern of a single agglomerate of bright points on the screen at a location facing the slit. 2) when both slits are open we get the interfe…

The 1875 Paris, 1 kg standard (IPK, Pt Ir) seems to have lost about -50 µg in 100 years. Now, assuming that (1 kg) standard is based on 1 m length derived from the (average, back & forth) light_speed c, is it possible light's speed is NOT constant? E.g. if c varies semi_annually (to affect volume standards of a density) how can exactly 1 kg be expected? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram Otherwise, if the earth's speed v changed thru an ether; would that affect the Atomic weights enough to detect weight (not mass) differences between (different eleme…

Well, I will say the other side of this Energy is conserved in Dark Energy because Curvature is balanced out by Radius increase in the Friedmann equation for Hubble constant or Dark Energy which causes the acceleration not increase in energy assuming energy conservation is absolute for the universe along with Energy is neither created or destroyed it just changes form and in that case the Universe will always have the same amount of Energy-Mass never changing in value just form. Otherwise Thermodynamics needs to be rewritten, unless the energy is being received from another universe in which case that would be fine with those laws under 1 and 2 as systems can transfer hea…

You assume the (Coulomb's) electric force is a "constant" wrt the distance d between the 2 capacitor plates (e.g. for linac acceleration). But how can that be? I.e. When the equipotential (e.g. the (surface_)charge_density (sigma=charge/area)) in the middle between the plates is zero! Due to a "bipolar" Gauss (surface_charge) law sum, each plate receives half the voltage V/2, but has opposite polarity (i.e. +V/2 & -V/2) so the sum is the total voltage V between the 2 plates, but zero (voltage) in the middle of the air dielectric. Surely a "non_linear" acceleration must exist (instead) wrt distance between the 2 plates …

What was wrong with Michell's idea? Why isn't a very large star (& many of them, i.e. dark stars) simply the answer for so much invisible mass? & Why isn't the collision of 2 dark stars into fragments simply the explaination for so_called super novas? E.g. At what distance away (from earth) will a specific large radius star become invisible to us (on earth) as a dark star? (I can imagine a (distant) dark star would begin to become visible as we get near to it. E.g. it takes time for gravity to slow light down to zero & large distance w…

People have attributed various mental and physical benefits and drawbacks both to sexual abstinence and sexual activity. Purported benefits of abstinence would include increased testosterone, acetylcholine, dopamine, lecithin, phosphorus, calcium, mental energy, sensitivity, creativity, and spirituality, while purported drawbacks are insensitivity, anxiety, emotional suppression and, resulting from the latter, even physical symptoms. Purported benefits of sexual activity would include increased immunity, oxytocin, vasopressin, mental energy, testosterone, dopamine, sensitivity, creativity and spirituality (!), and reduced pain, anxiety, depression, risk of prostate ca…

With (the cone's) round base placed on the ground so the apex (=tip) points upward let the vertical y axis, be the rotatonal axis of symmetry. Let the x axis be on the ground, to the right from the cone, & the z axis also be on the ground but away from the cone & me. Let the cone's base radius R=1 (meter) & the cone's height h=1 m. I know both the x & z axii of the cone's contour are symmetric (by rotating the cone wrt the y axis). But the cone has a taper (the radius changes) wrt the y axis (height). Starting with the base's radius r=1 (meter) on the ground, both x & z will decr…

The right theory of everything may lead us to stable fusion, which can cheaply turn small amounts of lead into smaller amounts of gold, which can then be replicated into large amounts of gold. Who said money doesn't grow on trees? A ToE could tell us how fast future spacecrafts could ever possibly go. A ToE could provide avenues for computation & communication that bypass the speed of light. Such a theory would as much lead to a technological Utopia as Einstein's theory of General Relativity led to the atom bomb that ended all of the catastrophes of global scale warfare many decades ago. To start I had to ask myself a few questions: How do you …

I woke up this morning with light staring in my eyes. And I thought about the vastness of the universe, and how light is so much faster than human beings. It seemed unfair to me. But then I realized that it's not about fair or unfair, but the coldness of the physics. Light doesn't have morality, it just obeys the physics laws. It doesn't choose what speed to go, it just goes whatever speed it goes. And that was when I started thinking about this. So this morning I googled whether light is massless particle, google tells me light is a massless particle but I don't believe it. If light had no mass, how would a laser have knock back force? Here is a conversat…

Yes. Anything in nature that has a motion is translated into, say linear or rotational kinetic energies.

I have devised a photonic motor just in case people switch from electricity to light. It would work like a radiometer, except it would not need a vacuum. It would have about 6 vanes, which would be colored black. A laser would fire a laser beam at the vanes, which would absorb the photons and cause the vanes to rotate clockwise. For a faster speed, the vanes could be colored white, which when struck by a laser beam, would reflect the light back. When the laser light hits the vanes, the vanes would absorb the momentum of the light and be pushed clockwise. When the light is reflected, the reaction with the vane would push the vane clockwise, making it turn twice as fast as …

Summary of Investigations into Curves and Accelerations In our case, we have already noticed before that these ''curves'' are equivalent to accelerations at infinitessimal regions. We linked those curvature dynamics to the temperature in the following way: [math]K_BT = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau} \cdot \frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau}) \equiv\ \frac{1}{2}<\dot{\psi}|\dot{\psi}>[/math] For the special case of [math]m = 1[/math]. We'll also set the Boltzmann constant to natural units for simplicity in the future. It was noted, that the term [math]\frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau} \cdot \frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau}[/math] is nothing but the square of the metric cur…

It was suggested by Arun (et al.) That rotation enters the Friedmann equation like [math](\frac{\ddot{R}}{R})^2 = \frac{8 \pi G}{3}\rho + \omega^2[/math] [1]. see references It's proposed the correct derivation is not only longer, but in this form, should have a sign change for the triple cross product. It is also apparent, no one has offered in their work a derivation other than the one implied through the Godel model. Really what is in implied by the centrifugal term is a triple cross product, is the use of the cross product terms [math]\ddot{R} = \frac{8 \pi G R}{3}\rho + \omega \times (\omega \times R)[/math] Even thou…

1) I do not believe the universe is random inherently at the quantum level or otherwise. 2) I do not believe that the big bang is all there is in the universe. The misnomer ''hot big bang'' should really have been reserved for models that involve initial conditions with extremely high temperatures. The reason for this will be revealed now. 3) I do not believe the universe needs to be described by the current model. There are acceptable alternatives which should deserve an exploration, such as a heating of the universe from some pre-big bang state. In my own investigation, this revealed itself as a radiation vapour Helmholtz transition from some mo…

Hello, and welcome to my first thread on SicenceForums. This thread will be dealing with my thoughts and speculative solutions regarding the next steps in Human Evolution and the rise of Automation, Machine Learning(M.L.), Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), and Cybernetic Implants. I would vary much enjoy, people to poke as many hole in my hypotheses as possible. Because it will enable me to grow and learn in subjects I enjoy. The introduction and context to my thoughts, will be quite long and cover a variety of different subjects and fields of study. I'm not a master of writing or grammar. I am not the best at organizing my thoughts either, so bare with me on this adventure…

Is there such a thing as tempodynamics? Chronodynamics? I am interested in the dependencies of motion and time. If everything in the universe were suddenly still it would be indistinguishable from time stopping; time cannot be measured without movement, matter cannot transition without time passing. Does time need motion to advance? Is there a field for these kinds of questions? Thanks
