Other Sciences

Hi I have placed a pdf book online that is about mirroring well known cyclic phenomena within nature. I believe it is a mapping of the mirror side, and potentially, people a lot cleverer than me may be able to incorporate this mirroring technique into other types of formulas. I am primarily a musician, with fairly limited mathematical skills! I have worked on this mirroring process for a good eighteen years now, mainly in spasms as and when the mood occurred. I haven't been able to find sources for a similar kind of work, but it is basically showing the mirror side to well known processes, like harmonics, Fibonacci numbers, musical scales, Phi ratio, Pi, prime nu…

Hopefully you will experience the good ghosts and not the bad ghosts . Also , I don't know why this thread is in religion , when it could just as much be at home in theoretical physics .

Do you think the humanities are important to science? Personally, I'd say that they are important to sciences that deal with people. For medicine, I think the humanities are crucial. It is important that physicians learn how to connect with humans in a very real sense, and have a greater understanding of the human phenomenon. Many US medical schools are starting to add literature and art to the rigid core science schedule of first and second year medical students. Do you believe the humanities are important to all sciences?

Hello, I was wandering if there are discoveries that did not come at the right time(zeitgeist) but much later ? If you know some examples ?

I wasn't quite sure where to put this so I decided to put it in "Other Sciences". Are there truly completely random evnts? In my opinion all things happen for a reason. There can only be one possible outcome due to the various laws of the universe. Do truly random events actually happen? If there is a better place to put this please tell me.

I found these, what I beleive to be as meteorites. They are magnetic and have unique distinctions that normal rocks dont have. Are these in fact meteorites? Here are some pictures I have taken. The one with the CD is to show how big they actually are. The bigger one weighs about 170 Grams and the smaller one about 100 Grams.

Simple enough: Are we? It seems inevitable that we are. Then languages like Quechua or Walpiri will be reduced to the roles that now play Hittite or Assyrian. Or will we evolve into a multi-dialectal pansociety? Local versions of the same, say, English; but with people being able to understand each other all over the Earth. Will we evolve towards a bi-polar, tripolar, etc. model? What do you think? And why?

Well, not wrong per se, yet not the most effective or swiftest form of progressing science either. (Skip to the bottom for the short version) I have a "focus fire" concept on how to approach expanding fields of science and technology. Essentially, universities, government agencies, and corporations (involved in the appropriate field, of course) could come together, and focus all of their funding and efforts on a small number of projects. These projects would be selected in advance based on how much they will advance that area of science, likely through a vote of those pulling the strings. For example, computer research groups (IBM, Bell Labs; universities s…

What do you guys think to this? https://31.media.tumblr.com/06d5b1bbef34557afa604718b89384be/tumblr_n5ux6sq7W71sfeevdo1_500.jpg

As part of my dissertation on changing research exchange practices, I am conducting a survey on researchers’ expectations of conferences to analyze differences between groups of researchers and conference formats. Please consider participating in and distributing the short (10-15 minutes) online survey which is aimed at researchers of all scientific disciplines and career stages who are planning to attend scientific conferences. In particular, opinions and views of researchers from all around the world are appreciated. Participation in the survey will not only enrich this study, but will also help to identify avenues for enhancing current conference practices, benefi…

Some scientists have an interest in ART and the use of ART in conveying scientific ideas that are otherwise difficult to express in other ways . This thread is started to act as a vehicle for such participation. Comments by another Scientific Artist ( anonymous )

I am not particularly weak when it comes to solving problems in Math,Physics and Chemistry. Instead, I enjoy doing problems. I particularly like difficult problems. Even in tests, I am pleased if the questions asked are unseen and all students stand a fair chance to score. That aside, I wish to know if problem solvers, like those who can solve complex problems of rigid body dynamics, integral calculas etc, really contribute to mainstream? Are all physicist know to be extraordinary problem solvers? Also, how much practice did you do with problens? Thanks.

I decided to create this so people can discuss the upcoming Artemis 1 mission to the Moon. I will also be creating a blog post and other resources (for displays) so hopefully encourage people here to discuss further. https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-1

man has noticed at molecular-quantum level of observation he cannot look with out changing what he is inteligently and cooly looking at ..same as when he looks at a woman ..artifical inteligents is also ..cool and changes when its looked at ..when a scientist is anylising the quantum world on the results of a massive particle collider and ever time he observes it changes no matter how many times he looks as he cannot know the position is he knows the mass and viser verser ..he eventualy looses his cool and is frustrated because some how at the other end of the equation is an inteligents which will not observe requireing him to do all the work and he cant get something for…

I'm just going to ask a couple of simple questions here; what, exactly, would it mean for a future computer A.I. to be better than their human counterparts? What would such a system be like? There is much talk about creating such systems (after we figure out how to make it more human-like), and certainly many sci-fi speculations as to what might happen, but they don't really address the epistemological issues directly. Say we did create a system that did indeed surpass us in intellectual and cognitive abilities. What would that be like and how would we know?

I have this really cool big stick. It is spirally and staff like and neat. Me and my stick and my friends have been on many adventures, but the stick is growing old and gray, i fear it is weakening-- how can i strengthen it to preserve it? Do you know of any methods of artificial petrification? I also would like to replicate it and make others in it's likeness (of coarse not as sacred as the original, but respectful nonetheless in emulation), so how should i mold it? Thank you for all the help you will give me--- or you shall be smitten by the wrath of the staff.

In school earlier this week I was learning about photosynthesis. If you don't know what photosynthesis is, it's when plants take 6 molecules of CO2, six molecules of water, and sunlight to make one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen The glucose is used for the plant's food, and we use the oxygen. While reading from the textbook, I had an idea. What if we could make artificial photosynthesis. It will take out some CO2 and add in O2 to slow global warming. Maybe the glucose could be used to put in food or something like that. If you have any comments about my idea or possible ideas on how to make it work, please reply.

Here`s an Idea I`ve been tinkering with in my head ever since I saw a twin Tesla Coil arrangement. Forgive me if I get the polarities wrong, but so long as they`re different, it`s easily corrected. the Earth has a possitive charge and the sky and clouds have a negative charge, occasionaly it will build up and we`ll get lightening. Electricity always takes the shortest path, and so ligtening will strike the tallest and or most conductive path to Earth. now on a golf course it may happen to be a tree or a man about to take a swing with his club. currently (excuse the bad pun) we use strips of metal on a high point to conduct this lightening safely to earth. …

Would it likely be possible, if eventually as technology has advanced enough, that a human could turn his/herself into pure energy, and maintain consciousness and sentience, so as to be invulnerable to all or most of the dangers in the universe. As we understand it, our consciousness is a product of the electrochemical signaling between neurons. Now if we replaced each neuron, one at a time, with a non-organic human-made neuron that performs the same action, the data from the old neuron is always stored in multiple places in the brain, correct? So as we take one out at a time, replacing it with a man-made neuron, would our consciousness (who we are) remain the…
