Speculations

We die because our cells die. But it's a little more complicated than that. Though our cells replace themselves over and over again for 70-odd years, they can't do so forever. See, inside each cell are 'telomeres, 'at the end of our chromosomes these contain genetic information that continuously gets clipped away when each new cell divides, over and over again. Telomeres start out long enough to handle a great many scissor snips. But eventually, they run out of length, the information they held is lost and the cells cannot divide anymore - death. This is the age of science and progression, scientists now have a great understanding of why and how we die - som…

I would like to talk about the free energy magnetic motor. Many people have been able to consruct devices that use the energy magnets generate to soon different kinds of electric generators. There are several examples if you search "free energy motor" on YouTube. In all of the videos I have watched, every free energy motor is turned on via manual mechanical interference. I would like to propose a hybrid stationary electromagnet with conventional magnets afixed a rotor. the system will be first applied to charging 12vdc car batteries via alternator. The plan is to move up to the higher voltage hybrid and electric batteries on the second stage. Altenators put out a c…

Okay, you're all right in your own ways. I'm overzealous yes, hot headed yes, amateur, yes. Smart? Probly not. But for the moment, I need help. In order to keep my farm status(and not have to pay 10 years of deferred taxes(we've only owned it for 3years) because I bush hogged the field when the golfenrod was in seed). It doesn't matter why I did it...ugh!...but as scientists, you cannot argue with results. The past 3 years, im the feeding source of tens of thousands (i remember my resource sampling courses) of at least 2 types of bees. This is on the word of an entymologist here in New Brunswick Canada. I could make 3 times the amount if I simply plowed and grew...doesn't…

I would like to present an invention I have been working on. It is an electric generator that powers itself. The model is quite simple in theory. There are three main components, a pump, an alternator/water wheel hybrid, and 3 deep cycle batteries. The idea comes from integrating a variation of Pelton's water wheel with an axial flux alternator, like the ones used in wind turbines(Hugh Piggots model for example), so basically a wind turbine that has little "cups" instead of blades. The pump is to produce enough force to spin the water wheel-alternator hybrid which would generate the electricity needed to operate the pump as well as enough to trickle charge a battery. The …

If I am a lizard at 5 years old, and my right arm limb is amputated, and I regenerate it all the way from progenitor cells, what is the age of this limb when it is fully regenerated?

So, I was reading an article on entanglement the other day that popped up on the main stream media, and it started me thinking. Dangerous, I know. I've always been one of those skeptics in many aspects of physics, like the idea of a big bang, or time, or space-time. I have to see things for myself to believe it. I have to admit, after spending 30 years searching for a better explanation, I always seem to find my way back to Einstein, and the big bang. And believe me, I came to these realizations kicking and screaming. The man was brilliant, and science seems to have things pretty well under control. I never gave quantum entanglement much thought. It was just…

What is it? Does it exist?

Everything in our observable universe exists in space. Space is not nothing. Invisable energy and matter make up a greater portion of the universe than all of the matter and detectable energy combined. Space is not nothing. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you split an atom(smaller than a human eye can see) you get a release of energy hard to miss for miles. If you were to crush all of the "space" out of an atom the reaction must me opposite. Instead of an energy release, I believe energy would be condensed(rather than released) into matter. Black holes are something of the same nature. The idea of a body in space with an infinite density where…

Something I was thinking about since I read "A wrinkle in time", when one of the main characters said she had to give up the form she loved most, which was a "star", but how could she love being that form unless she was conscious while in that form? Which got be thinking, analyzing a star I'm wondering if it's in any way possible they could be alive. They have seeming cycles of birth, life and death, they grow, shed off outer layers, change their form, they have an abundance of natural materials and have plenty of energy which they make themselves like plants in a self sustaining process, they respond to stimuli in a way such as that they have complex magnetic fields and …

Gamma ray bursts fully explained: The explosion is driven by the energy in the gravitational field when the material becomes massless! (100% mass defect!) A "neutron" star is >11.5 km in radius. This is <6900 times smaller than Jupiter. This is what would be expected if it were made entirely of material with atomic mass<13800 It's also possible that the neutron star has a dense core of atomic mass 16384 surrounded by a material of atomic mass 8192. atomic mass 8192 atomic number: 1215 Density: 2.35 * 10^14 g/cm^3 Pressure: 3.1 * 10^28 bar atomic mass 16384 atomic number 1808 Density: 1.55 * 10^15 g/cm^3 Pressure: 3.35 * 10^2…

first off i just wanted to say that i am a student, of computer sciences, not environmental or atmospheric sciences. if anything about the notes or research is off, let me know, the more problems found with it, the better in the long run. thank you for you time in reading this, and i am sorry in advance if my terrible hand drawn picture hurt you eyes, they hurt mine too but i sure cant draw a turbine system by hand, let alone the rest of the machine, and the better plans are still in progress for now.

Imagine all your body functions reversed and you grow younger each day, how does that even work, you would be self sustaining and outputing rice and bread for 80 years? What do you guys think? Anyway I got it from Family Guy

Hello! I believe that LIGO-events have terrestrial origin (e.g. lightning strike). Registered traces could come from merger of two black holes or... there are the result of "jump phenomenon", if a sudden jump in amplitude occurs with increasing frequency : This is supported by 1. The frequency of the falling edge corresponds to one of own frequencies of the LIGO-detectors before and after the event: 2. The signal is harmonious. But due to limited sensitivity of the detectors it should be pulsed: ==> Perhaps the LIGO-operators should check their equipment carefully again before physicists publish the next sensation Bes…

Alright so we've all heard people growing back their cut finger with cellular matrix or amphibian with limb regeneration. Now assuming a limb is amputated, how does the body knows what structure it should grows back? For instance if I am missing my middle finger, it will have to grow back with the exact same length and size without missing a single cell(let's assume scar tissue is not the case). Now let's say I want to trigger a particular cell to renew itself without having a wound, it should also possible. All wounds heal, so it should be possible to trigger the entire body to recover from a wound, without having a wound. Now what is left is the strength of such regener…

Hi everyone! I'm new to these forums and thought I'd start out with something...perplexing. At my school, we're having a pro/anti evolution debate and I've written a few speaking points. Considering I'm not an evolutionary science expert, I thought I'd share them around for you guys to pick about and see what I am mistaken about. I've pasted them below, let me know what you think. Speaking Point #1: Irreducible Complexity is the theory that humans are too advanced to have evolved from a single cell, and states as a fact that everything we have evolved to didn’t exist previously. Additionally, systems such as the cardiovascular system or the central nervous system s…

No metallic hydrogen in Saturn All planets from 1 Jupiter Mass to 60 Jupiter masses have the same radius. This suggests that metallic hydrogen only occupies 1/60 of the volume of Jupiter. Thats 1/4 of the radius. The surface of the gas giant is defined as the point where the pressure of the atmosphere is 1 bar, Scale height = the vertical distance over which the density and pressure fall by a factor of 1/e. saturn Scale height: 59.5 km jupiter Scale height: 27 km Below the Frenkel line the fluids are "rigid" and "solid-like", whereas above it fluids are "soft" and "gas-like". 76850km = polar radius of jupiter (76850km-300km) = 76550km = Frenkel line for…

So as lizard regenerate tail. If I update my body at age 82 or later on a cell by cell basis going from specialized cell to stem cell then back to the same specialized cell it was except this time it is much younger over a one week period, have I achieved immortality? So for example, me at age 82 or later decided to update my body starting from the cell on my head, for each neuron I reset it back to stem cell, then back into the same neuron it was before, only this time it is much younger, possibly of age 30. Then I do the same for all other cells until it reaches my toe over a one week period, in which now all my cells are 30 years old, is immortality achieved? Theor…

As long as these two conditions are true, a chain of mathematical certainties involving infinitesimals follows: 1. In their simplest form, the simplest fundamental particle constituents of matter have an infinitesimal radius. 2. All fundamental forces propagate as waves, which mediate all interactions between matter. Now, from that, we can start making deductions from applying the math of infinitesimals to time. Consider an infinitesimal increment of time, and the change in a particle's velocity during it. Over an infinitesimal increment of time, we still have to account for the the velocity of the particle in two given instants: - the velocity of the particle …

After reflecting on it all day this is what I decided: All planets from 1 Jupiter Mass to 60 Jupiter masses are known to have approximately the same radius. The density of jupiter is 1.33 g/cm^3 A 60 jupiter mass brown dwarf is therefore about 60 times as dense and made mostly of metallic hydrogen/helium. 80 g/cm^3 = minimum density of the most dense form of Metallic hydrogen/helium I assume there is another less dense form about 8 g/cm^3 What is the true radius of jupiter? The surface of the gas giant is defined as the point where the pressure of the atmosphere is 1 bar, Scale height = the vertical distance over which the density and pressure fall by a fa…

If the sun began as a rapidly growing and rapidly rotating 60 jupiter mass brown dwarf then it was at that time almost entirely metallic hydrogen surrounded by a thin (4000km) ocean of about 3.2 earth masses of liquid hydrogen. Between the liquid hydrogen ocean and the metallic hydrogen there may have been a 1000 km thick layer of metallic oxygen and/or metallic carbon that was 100 times denser than liquid hydrogen and amounting to a little less than a saturn mass. (Based on the abundance of the elements it should have been 4000 km thick but I guess it becomes fully degenerate at 1000 km and sinks to the core of the protosun) When the suns core finally collapsed it wo…

I have come up with a theory for electromagnetism, and what to share it with you here. You can picture to yourself one dimension, in which one side is plus is and the other is minus. A particle has a certain property on this dimension, it can be plus, minus or neutral. When particles with similar signs come near each other they occupy one another's space on this dimension and repel each other. And when they have opposite signs they balance each other on the dimension and attract each other. This is the principle by which the electric force works. The certain charges of the particles and their symmetry (the electron has a certain electric charge, and the proton has the…

We know the electrons mass and its charge and its angular momentum and from this we can calculate what it's magnetic field should be. But the actual magnetic field is much stronger than this. One possible explanation is that most of the electrons mass (and perhaps some of its charge) has fallen to the centre. Perhaps even existing in a completely separate system of shells surrounding the nucleus. This could also explain why electrons prefer to fill the 6s shell before the 4f shell. One would expect the 6s electron to fall into the 4f subshell since the 4f shell is closer to the nucleus. But it doesnt. The 6s shell is further from the nucleus but if part of the…

Let's say you modify every single DNA of a dog to the DNA of a bear, does the dog grows into a bear? I'm thinking it is possible, unfortunately I've never heard of growing an extra arm out of the body, not even through Crispr/Cas9. I'm saying it in the post-zygote stage P.S. If not we'll have to rely on stem cells since it is capable of differentiating, rather than growing it from scratch it's more like sculpturing
