Speculations

Yes. Below are links to the experiment and its assumptions and results. You can do the experiment with a laser and household items. Diffraction experiment and its STOE photon simulation program rejects wave models of light http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1603 Hodge Experiment distinguishes between wave and particle caused diffraction patterns http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1712 STOE assumptions that model particle diffraction and that replaces QM http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1719 Hodge

The physical property of direction does not appear on any list of physical properties. The reason for it not appearing on such lists seems to be unknown at this time, or least no accepted scientific source provides this reason. Without speculating as to what these reasons might be, there does seem to be a practical method that can be used in order to fill in this area of physics. There is a new model that illustrates the existence of a smooth function that establishes the relationship between two directions (orientated 45 degrees to one another) in three dimensions, simultaneously. It involves concurrent quantification of direction, without a metric, which …

so it's a pretty basic question. Is there any research that can prove my hypothesis completely wrong? so atoms all have electrons and i believe these electrons have a spin that can make electrons move to an outer energy level and then back when it releases a photon causing the atom itself to spin and thus change state of matter in some cases due to the release of thermal energy because of the kinetic energy. The spin of the atom's electron causes the atom to change energy levels this can also happen when you rub things together like two pieces of wood. this is my theory of friction and electrons and how they interact with matter. When electrons reach to the outermost ener…

Hi guys, I read that if nasa had more money, they could get to mars twice as quick. Now I think they meant the long run, as in getting there in 20 years rather then 40, not the actual trip time (about 6 months with conventional rockets). Now I was wondering what you guys would build if you had ALL the money in the world. Now since this IS a thought experiment, there are somethings that you can ignore. Here are some of the rules for your "world" where you build whatever super thing. 1. It can't ignore the laws of anything.(physics, thermodynamics, etc.) 2. You have unlimited money to do what you need to do. 3. You have unlimited manpower. 4. You have unlimited time…

In his book, The Millennial Project: Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps, Marshall T. Savage proposed building "seacrete" (ions deposited from sea water) floating islands to be colonized along the equator to relieve stress on the land as populations grew past 10 billions. His method of making seacrete did not work. However, Prof. Wolf Hilbertz developed a technique that makes biorock from sea water that is as strong or stronger than typical concrete, starting with a structure of rebar and welded wire mesh. Principally calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate to precipitate and adhere to that structure. I propose a kind of 3d biorock printer to make the islands Savage…

I'm thinking of a type of satellite that stays in space. Bear with me for a second, it does now orbit around earth, rather it is placed so that earth orbits around it. I mean whatever you place in space stays in space so it's position won't change. What changes is its direction it observes, like a telescope. Benefit, it is permanent and you don't need to replace it, when you want something else you just collect it back. Maybe there's one built on the moon already, but it's like a space station. This way you don't need to launch a satellite every now and then P.S. I'm saying this because I want to launch my own custom satellite. I mean as long as I can find a way to ge…

So gravity is described by General relativity as the bending in spacetime. The moon circles around the earth also because of gravitational force based on Newton's Theory of Gravitation. But is the moon's gravity caused by earth's bending of spacetime? Gravity feels more like radio waves to me then the bending of spacetime

Hey, Im new here, I have a theory I thought up and my friend suggested I post this here. I have no idea whether this could be plausible or not, however I have an idea for how higher dimensions work above the 4th. So the other day I saw a video talking about using higher dimensions as shortcuts to travel such as if you draw a line on a piece of paper you can instead of going along the line, you could fold the paper and go directly from point a to point b, similar to how a wormhole would work in theory. So where I started thinking was I imagined the 4th dimension 'time' as the entire span of a single timeline as a single point. and so if you wanted to reach a different time…

Plants are modular organisms, capable of learning, remembering, and making decisions. In their own pace of life, plants take the most of their environment to make intelligent choices. For plants, lacking a brain is a brilliant survival strategy, because herbivores could eat it at any moment. If they do not have a brain, where is their intelligence? Read more advertising removed

how do cameleons change colour?

Hello internet. My name is Kyle, I am a third year electrical engineering student at the University of British Columbia (in Canada) and I am looking for the help of those of you who are mathematically trained or so inclined specifically within the fields of Group Theory, Lie Algebra, and Invariants. I have stumbled across a very interesting problem that I would like to either solve or see solved, but I have realized lately that it could take me years worth of research to do so while someone who is already an expert in the aforementioned fields might be able to solve this problem very quickly, that is not to say that I am giving up on trying. What I am proposing to solve I…

The host of this MinutePhysics YouTube video says that if time travel were possible something called Quantum Supposition suggests that one could kill his or her grandfather from an earlier time and not vanish from existence as a consequence. To those of you who are more knowledgeable than I on the relevant theoretical physics, what are your thoughts? Are the host's assertions valid?

I want to create a nanomachine built based on carbon molecules to act as different types of enzymes, is this possible? To begin with, I know an enzyme has active site that allows substrate to enter and exit, is it possible to achieve the same with carbon molecules?

Sadly my original post was closed, so I will continue here, on what seemed to be ok with the moderators. I have bought tin foil and made a Psi Wheel out of it. At first I made a big one and the results were not so good, then I made a smaller one, and the results were excellent. It basically moves/spins ALL THE TIME I am trying to get it to move. When I leave it alone and back away it is still. This is quite exciting for me, and I think I am just about ready now with these new results to go to the academy and show them this. I also tried moving it with the glass bowl covering it, but unfortunately it does not move yet. Hopefully I can get this to happen in the future. …

A couple of questions on the Proton, First I wonder if anyone can explain "simply" how we get the mass 938.272mev? I have noticed their are different measurements for the proton using electrons or muons which give a different measurement of proton. I ask this because I have got a measurement of 930.64mev, within my pet model, which is 0.82% different. within my model I have a proton with a diameter of 1.73 femtometers, radius 0.865fm. but I do not have a perfect sphere(slight oval) 173fm horizontal diameter, 172 vertical diameter, if I want the diameter of as sphere I times the diameter(173) by pi 3.141 =543.393 but if I use the horizontal diameter 172…

I am just wondering how far along or how advanced is our technology in regards to manipulating individual nucleotides and amino acids. For a simple example: can we make an AUC sequence in the lab? Can we multiply that? Can we drop a million of these sequences in a bucket of water? Can we do something similar with amino acids? Just trying to see were we stand in the technology. If someone can steer me towards the appropriate and accessible information that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I remember a dream a night. When I'm lucky 2-3 dreams in a night. I find them fascinating. I do not believe dreams are anything other than manifestations of the subconscious but they are fun all the same. I would be interested in reading dreams other posters have had, theories about what dreams are mean, or why we have them. The Dream I had last night: When the dream began I was in an enclosed office on the 3rd down from street level beneath a hotel. The office door opened to a hallway but was closed. in the dream I understood that there were people in the hallway looking for me. I laid on the floor and peered under the door. I was able to see a pair of female dre…

Not sure which forum this post should be in. Maybe it should be in news. I suspect the NSA is filtering phone calls with similar technology, except voice activated with automatic translation. (not news). If not, they will be soon. In fact, every form of electronic communication may be filtered, if not by the NSA, then another less scrupulous entity...country, corporation, or crackpot. Laser microphones can detect vibrations in windows and listen to conversations behind closed doors. WiFi can detect people moving within buildings, perhaps detect heartbeats. Ubiquitous electronics with AI will be able to track every person on Earth from cradle to grave, no need fo…

So I want to know if a nanomachine can be constructed that reads DNA in the human body in real time as letters. I got this idea when I was reading this paper. So it could be an enzyme that would loop through the entire DNA segments with a wireless device attached that is capable of transmitting the results back, either that or we would have to monitor the result through a fairly detailed MRI using visualization technique. Both should be doable, but do let me know which is a better way. I'll let you guys decide

I have come to few small hypothesis about time that might explain some of the while paradox in the quantum physics, including the two slit experiment and the quantum entanglement. However, since this is the first time I’ve written this info in public, and I’m not aware of the requirements of publications, my explanation will most probably require help from a community to achieve a well design standard for communicating hypothesis. Also, I would need help of specialist from different areas in the physics. Unfortunately, I'm just a curious of physics and it’s not even a concentration of my studies, therefor I depend on information references, corrections and confirmation. …

How do you disprove people who believe in these pseudoscience stuff? Scientists Discovered Message from God in Human DNA Code!! Humans with Superpowers!! Some of my coworkers are starting to believe some of these pseudoscience. I normaily say if it does not make big news like CNN and only on youtube or a web site it is pseudoscience.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Hello everyone! I am new here on the forums, and have created my account to propose an idea I had recently. My main goal here is to first see if these thoughts have been published elsewhere before, because I could not find anywhere in which they had been. That being said, I figure someone else out there has thought this up prior to me, so please do inform me if that is the case. Second, I would like opinions as to if this would make sense and explain a few phenomena in our universe. My idea is not unlike a few theories out there, such as a few variants of the Multiverse theory. However, my proposal is that unlike those current theories, that we live in a universe wh…

I Think this is important to post and I think is urgent. It is a video from a former NASA Scientist indicating that a Magnetic Pole Shift Reversal is imminent. We can discuss what a Magnetic Reversal is, but I think the video does a good job to give some partial explanation. I posted this also because I had a recent dream about A Magnetic Pole Reversal taking place and I was informing people what was going on and I've found this video.

Please look at the following orbits of 6 stars around suppermassive black hole candidate Sagittarius A* at the Milky Way's centre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*#/media/File:Galactic_centre_orbits.svg Please focus on S13. Its path is very round and circular. Therefore, based on Newton and Kepler, I would expect to see the B.H just at the center of that circular path. So how could it be that the Supper massive B.H. isn't located at the center?
