Speculations

I propose that the universe is mostly well-lit. Common sense proves (pertaining to the solar system) that nighttime on earth is merely a shallow dome of darkness, a shadow on the underside of the earth. Light dominates the universe.

I don't know much about vectors. (Maybe you can help?) Perhaps it's what I don't know that counts? That little I know (& whether it's correct?) is: vectors have magnitude (amount) & direction. Negative (direction) is rotated 180 degrees (angle) in the opposite direction. Vectors are subdivided into 3 major axii (xyz), which are 90 degrees to each other (so Pythagorus's 90 degree triangle rule can be used, easily). Vectors can be added, graphically, maintaining their directions, not necessarily their positions. e.g. chained together, arrow tip point on end of the next vector, important is the angles (orientation) stay the same. Vectors can be …

Are you anti-communist? What are your thoughts about supporters of communism? Do really disbelieve that communism could be the panacea of all our problems?

Individuals like their own species, in general. People prefer to be people, cats prefer to be cats, and sloths prefer to be sloths. Obviously, I cannot prove it. On the other hand, the deer that visit my yard don't knock on the door and expect to be invited in for a beer. You say, they aren't very smart and don't have the right body for it. True, but a wild bonobo or chimpanzee wouldn't either. Why do individuals like being a member of their species? In general we like things that are pleasant and dislike things that are not. We like some things because our bodies tell us to like it, for example sugar. However, some things we like are learned, for example smoking ciga…

I had an idea. I wanted to know if it would work. I theorize that if you have machines that can electrically stimulate the brain and control what you are dreaming, you can have a machine take those little shocks or electricity and put it into another person to then have the receiver receive the same dream and if lucid, have the two people in the same dream, both aware and with both minds connected so each is talking to the other in the dream. The device would stimulate the brain to create a lucid dream. Then, the other part would then copy over the electric signals and put them into the mind of the second person who would be dreaming the same dream, they then can…

Precession happens also on earth. Momentum can be rotated to the opposite side where it then has the opposite direction. That effect depends on impulse mom=F*t, (duration time t). The slower the top turns, the longer the mass (each molecule) can be affected (on 1 side, vs the opposite). Thus a spinning top, will swoop (=precess) extremely low (horizontal) at slow rotating speed, (rather that stand up almost straight vertical). I.e. Longer duration time t, that the mass has (F=Wt=m*g) accelerated down (fallen), (or been left behind, push theory) so the angle is (larger) lower, e.g. further down (wrt top). (Note: How can a mass have force, when its…

After receiving a bad grade for my electrical classes yet again(bear with me for a while). I came to the conclusion that these electronic stuff is just too hard to be man made. This idea though, was left there for the entirety of my university years. Not until a few months ago, I came across this clip on youtube. How computer add numbers. So I was staring at the 0 and 1 bits, thinking if I can figure out a way to crunch the adder until it occurs to me that, the half adder seems too revolutionary to be man made. So I did a search on Google, to see who came up with half and full adder for the binary numbers. The result, such a person does not exist. The electrical engineeri…

So I watched this movie yesterday, to be precise Xmen Apocalypse. I was wondering if mind transferring can be done? Well to an empty body. one that does not exhibit a consciousness when born

After thinking about it for a while, aside from the nanofactory idea. I think you can construct things with nanomachines. The advantage is that if you can get nanomachine to the right place with computer guided assistance and place the material there. Sort of like a pickup item and drop technique. Then with Google's suggestion is to scan the structure with light that can pass through objects. Then you can use the nanomachine to repair or build objects. Although I don't think you can get nanomachine to move in between molecular bonds. So it has to go with a layer by layer bases. It would be more efficient than nanofactory in this case, picking up an item and delivering it …

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

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
