This can include your preferred Hypothesis or theory, Big bang, Big bounce , Inflation , The big bulk... ect. Please write the name of the Hypothesis / theory at the top of the page, With examples of any problems you see with that Hypothesis / theory below. Please respect everyone's views and only comment on the ideas that best fit your own preferences, So two proponents of the Big bang can disagree on a subject as a example. Kind regards, Rick

Was thinking about how people measure stuff to find their length, width, weight etc and was wondering if there is something that describes the fact that we can't measure things to exact numbers. Like measuring things with a 60cm ruler is only approximating it right? I was wondering if this applies to all things that require measurements in the world, even experiments that we do, even examining the speed of light. How can we perfectly measure something if we are always trying to find an exact point to which to measure to and from (that doesn't exist). And with my limited knowledge I know that at quantum scale there are sub atomic particles and I think these have no fixed p…

There are 4 states of matter, Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma, since a state of matter can go through Solid Liquid and Gas and some plasma, is it possible for farts to turn to fart liquid, or fart solid? Can this also happen to burps? Burp liquid, fart liquid, burp solid, fart solid. The only reason this is not in spam is because I'm being serious. You would have to catch a fart underwater like in the bathtub and catch the bubbles. Air consists of Carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, so you would have to get a pure fart from underwater, or a burp I guess x.x... However, a fart has bacteria, intestinal gasses, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, all together the comp…

Just through lurking these forums I see people post their theories about what may be possible but most of the time cannot back up. I am talking specifically about physics. Has it always been something left for professionals to work on or has their ever been times when hobbyists have contributed in some way? What comes of discussing physics if you are simply a member of the general public and not a professional scientist/physicist?

Is there a link to the process in which is done for layman to read. Random thought is what if someone just fakes a result to get a desired outcome. Is there like a group of people/association that you must inform and must be there to verify everything that is done in the experiment and whether it is valid etc.

I feel like I have a weird amount of control over parts of my body. But there's one thing I've been able to do that I've never really had an answer for... This is very hard to explain, but I'll try my best. I can voluntarily induce a strong sensation that envelops most of my body. It almost feels like when you fall on a rollercoaster, but slightly different. It doesn't feel like I'm really moving a muscle or anything, just that I'm letting the feeling come in to me. It's like an extreme sinking feeling, and it's overwhelming to the point where I can't hold on to it for more than a few seconds at a time. I could go on about it, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to…

Pre 18th Century, Sailing was a risky business, with only being able to determine one's position by Dead Reckoning and Latitude. While Latitude could be readily calculated, longitude was unknown with no means to determine, once out of Land sight. Sailors pre 18th century would follow known Latitudes until reaching a familiar land form. This was called "westing" or "easting" depending on the direction sailing, and would have been the method I presume that Columbus made, when reaching the Americas. The latest time machines of the day, pendulum clocks, were obviously useless at sea, due to the instability. This problem was seen so urgent to overcome that in the ea…

New methods for statistical mereology of countless different variables are provided. Unlike many other traditional statistical techniques, the most distinctive characteristic of these modern approaches is that no claims are taken as to the existence of the wave function of the random collection being evaluated. In addition, the suggested protocols do not generate uncontainable errors during their topologisation. The efficacy of these approaches is demonstrated by simulation results with extended and reduced confidence intervals having different probability distributions of Toposes.

The less advanced branches of maths with fewer applications in physics and chemistry , promise to be fertile fields for answering some of the most outstanding , most significant questions in these areas of knowledge . .. Teams under me are more theoretically than practically going this way to unearth a number of principles playing all but axiological role in physical chemistry . . ..

So I was looking at this web site today showing odds in person life time some one dying. I’m shocked most people fear fire, Motor-vehicle crash and airplane crash , yet people do not show the same fear over cancer and heart disease and they have a way higher chance of dying. Looking at the table. Motor-vehicle crash 1 in 106 So if you have 106 people that live on your street one person will die in car crash in their life time. Fire or smoke 1 in 1,399 Well if there is 1,399 people that live on your street one person will die in their life time. Choking on food 1 in 2,618 Well if there is 2,618 on your street one person will …

Dear musicians, scientists and everyone, here are some thoughts about the losses introduced on purpose in wind instruments. ========== To begin with, the chambers that the oboe has at its tone holes. I claim they serve to attenuate the high harmonics that are especially unpleasant on a double reed. I haven't seen up to now that thesis in books and research papers (which I haven't read all) but I suppose it is well known from oboe manufacturers. The oboe has quite a narrow bore, some 2mm at the top, and its tone holes are even narrower to soften the sound, as opposed to a flute or saxophone. Here I take 1mm wide holes where the bore has 4mm; having…

I understand that a condensing boiler, is only really efficient when the inlet temperature is below 55oC, when burning natural gas. Would the condensing / heat recovery and thus efficiency increase as the inlet temperature decreases.....e.g. 45oC, or is the maximum achieved at 55oC thanks

Hi all, I'm currently working on my masterthesis. It's about whether the pandemic has influenced the method of phishing that is done by criminals. I've got a dataset on phishing and I'm currently doing a keyword analysis by how many times a certain keyword comes across in phishing emails on a given day. I've normalized the count by dividing it by the number of phishing emails on that particular day (since the amount of emails per day varies). So, now the data looks like the average count of a given keyword in a email per day. Now I was wondering on how I can test this statistically, I'm thinking about a paired samples T-test. Where I've created 2 groups: …

Reproductive cloning is a method in which the DNA of an egg in an organism (A) is derived and, subsequently, the DNA of a somatic cell in an organism (B) is placed in the egg. After that, a new organism (C) with the same genome as (B) will be created. What do you think of this technique? Me: I would like to have a clone of myself. But I think it is bad for humanity in general, because if everyone starts to clone themselves, we would no longer have genetic variability, and that could cause several weaknesses of diseases for example.

I see that a company near me is offering products that 'protect against harmful radiation' via Amazon amongst other outlets. These are called smart dots, pet dots and slep dots. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55613452 They appear to be just stickers for the rich and gullible.

im not sure what topic this goes in so i put it here. so a few work mate were discussing something. id like some input. the world we live in, throughout all of history, has been dominated by men. even from hunter gatherer days until now, in every society, men were calling the shots and woman were put in the "seen but not heard" category. so what if we lived in a world where that was reversed. if the men were "seen but not heard" and woman where in charge and calling all the shots, what would be different. so our discussion was that , i think in the woman world, there is much less chance of things like going to the moon, inventing airplanes…

So i'm actually just getting into science, and i mainly study psychology and neuroscience at the moment but i was wondering about something and i'm hoping someone in this field of science could maybe help me out. so i'm very interested in ways we can stop the sun from exploding due to its "fuel" and lack thereof and since it will be caused by lack if hydrogen and again i'm not really sure it just peaked my interest but could we artificially put hydrogen into the sun's atmosphere and core when we have the technology available to get that close to the sun's core? and would it keep the sun from exploding in the future if we are able to do it? i'm sure i'm not…

And why? It is generally accepted, that they was conqueriors, but that's not clear, why they come from steepe to the territory that was not good for horse breeding. They did not need this territory for their usual economic structure. What if we assume otherwise. They suffered from the expansion of European farmers, and therefore decided to establish control there. After all, it is the expansion of agricultural cultures that is typical in history (for the purpose of colonization, and so on) The ancient Indo-European attribute of snake fighting(Hero kills serpent) did not imply aggression, on the contrary, it meant victory over aggression and evil

Lose the flower garlands. The way I see it is that even in our earliest histories humankind was "towards" trends, which is always hurtful. Our food regimen haven't ever really gotten better, only more conventional, at the expense of the furthest reaching convenience. In other words, from the earliest ages we've always been toward better medicine at the expense of authentic wholesome foods. That's just my point of view. That's the way I would have it; and the thing is, that's what I'm towards. For example, my refrigerator is shut down. I've discovered (as a personal convenience) fermentation is always a safe preservative method. And folks love my Mediter…
