  1. Today
  2. As before, I''ll use values which produce easily described effects. e.g. 50 Hz A.C. to a 1kW convection heater - the wire to the heater, as well as the heater, will always be warmer than the environment. In this example, most power will be dissipated as IR radiation but a small amount will be 50Hz radiation from the wiring etc. dc current is in practice current which has been constant long enough for transients associated with such as inductive or capacitive reactance to become negligible. 'Instantaneous' is not a meaningful concept for measuring e.g. current (coulombs per second) or power (joules per second) - e.g. 0 coulombs in 0 seconds could be any current i.e. not defined. Calculus, which involves indefinitely small nonzero quantities, is used rather than 'instantaneous' but if applied, everything including inductive and capacitive reactance has to be included. In particular, alternating current in the wire, and magnetic fields will not be calculated as constant even using indefinitely small nonzero quantities. You might better consider dc or ac separately rather than trying to consider ac as 'almost dc.' Or perhaps you just want to consider A.C. circuits where reactance and radiative loss are negligible.
  3. First rule of the speculations forum Speculations must be backed up by evidence or some sort of proof. If your speculation is untestable, or you don't give us evidence (or a prediction that is testable), your thread will be moved to the Trash Can. If you expect any scientific input, you need to provide a case that science can measure I pointed this requirement out to you, and you still did not comply. It’s explained further here https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/86720-guidelines-for-participating-in-speculations-discussions/ Palatability is not an issue; your posts don’t convey any coherent thought that I can discern. I think you overestimate how effective your diagrams are at conveying useful, scientific information.
  4. You can disagree, but you need to go some to make the claim that eliminating your nuclear weapons is letting your guard down is "statistically false". It didn't work out for Ukraine, and the jury's still out on any of very few the others that eliminated them. (or for that matter curtailed any nuclear weapons program, for which your argument would at least make some sense)
  5. Only just noticed that there was a mistake. I meant to say emotional phenomenology is fun. Phenomenology is an interesting one because you can study a lot through that lens. Phenomenology of cooking or even hyper specific stuff like The phenomenology of the ghost in literature. One of the few essays I have had to translate myself into English, was originally in Spanish that one.
  6. Interesting.Sadly (or maybe fortunately) I no longer have the intellectual capacity to investigate those questions.I am more or less just fascinated ,for now to learn that that line of enquiry exists .(and prepared to eavesdrop on others who can discuss the subject profitably)
  7. According to Nietzsche (cripes, he had a difficult name!) yes, it does. Almost no-one is capable of greatness, but we should strive to improve the human race so that some day, great men could exist. And I still don't believe he said that a great man has to tell people they're not equal - I think he knew they already knew this. *sigh!!!*
  8. I'd add: learning latex would be a good start. In the photo of math, it's not all oriented the same way as the forum, and being a photo is impossible to properly quote, or dissect for discussion. Nobody is being paid to review your posts, if you want feedback you need to make the interest high and the effort low. I will say your handwriting is very good.
  9. Japanese civilian casualty estimates from Operation Downfall are also much higher. Perhaps they would have unconditionally surrendered or the invasion forces flagged though. There are several ways events could have played out.
  10. I not going to pretend to follow the math. Neither do I want to interrupt where the thread has gone, but I want to bring it back layman speak on my level. Earlier in this thread I did already mention that the FLRW metric is "orientated" where time does not expand with space. I had suspected that a transformation could orientate it differently such that time does expand with space. And I suspected at the other extreme we can have a solution where space does not expand at all and only time does. In another thread I asked about a variable "metric of time", and the "rate of flow of time", which was very difficult to conceptualise and it sort of ended there. My position is that l still maintain the validity of the interpretation that: non-relative time expansion/contraction is indistinguishable from space expansion/contraction. When you look up cosmological redshift in wiki there is no "Temporal Redshift" type. That is, redshift caused by an expanding temporal metric. It doesn't exist. Not a single reference, no studies, no papers. Why? Just because its too complex and abstract compared to space-expansion-only theory? I don't believe complexity is a reason for the entire physics community to shy away from such an interpretation. If it is valid, and no-one has researched into temporal redshift, it can only be because "space expansion" and its universal acceptance has blinded us to the truth that is only one alternative of other interpretations.
  11. It must be related to that weird feeling I get of remorse when I am hungry and remember a random meal from the past and wishing I had eaten it all then, as if that would somehow lead to me feeling less hungry now. Emotional phenomenology is fine. I think that I am feeling and I feel that I am thinking.
  12. The caveat is that nobody has used them against another country but they still are used; it seems like every other year there is a nuclear weapons test going on somewhere in the world and I wonder what the cumalative effect of a nuclear weapons test every other year for few centuries would be. It doesn't change the fact that before long there will be some madman who gets their hands on nukes and isn't dettered from using them, then all arguments in favour of their continued use and not taking as fast of a crawl to global zero as possible, will be moot. There are currently as of January 2023 approximately 12,500 nuclear war heads worldwide that we know of. How many of these going off would it take to trigger a full scale nuclear war and how many need to be used to cause a nuclear winter and irradiating most of the planet? When is the expiration date of effective deterrence of nuclear weapons? No, I'd be more worried about your moral compass if you had no capacity to suffer/desire to avoid it, as then you'd be incapable of empathising with the suffering of others.
  13. Update your approach. Communicate clearly. Provide evidence. Support your stance on the merits. Address criticisms clearly and specifically without hand-waving. Whining like an infant or claiming discrimination / free speech issues on a private internet site like SFN, a site with rules to which you agreed when registering for membership, will get you nowhere other than maybe banned when we get bored of you. Welcome to the NFL. Nobody is forcing you play. Nobody is forcing you to carry the football live on the field. Everyone else here meanwhile will keep playing without you until you figure out how to properly defend your ideas when challenged. Step up or step out, cowboy.
  14. Probably when we have no more actual books? I think the reduction of the crippling effects of the Abrahamic religions would be a boon for mankind. Without the vertical paternal moral hierarchy they force upon the world, I think men and women could cooperate like intelligent humans instead of competing like animals for their god's favor. Better education can help so many of the problems we face. Humans evolved for intelligence, and that takes educators. We've allowed a few people to accumulate inordinate wealth, more than they can use EVER. Those few have been using this wealth to promote themselves to our own detriment. If we allow it to continue, then we probably deserve what happens to us.
  15. What if it is a rubble pile? The "cable net" idea will work with any kind of smaller asteroids, but don't do the deceleration as someone suggested. Just open the net wide and crash into the rubble pile or rock with whatever mass is available. Of course, the "cable net" idea works only for smaller asteroids. For one 10km wide you better discover it many years before impact. How do you deflect a 10km asteroid?
  16. Note that Markus Hanke said that "uniform acceleration is locally equivalent to a uniform gravitational field" [my bold]. The distant stars are not part of a local measurement.
  17. Add kinematics as it's used in every physics theory including the entirety of the SM model f=ma always applies for example.
  18. Ok let's make it easier for when your looking at Higgs related papers E is energy , \(\rho\) is energy density, v is used for VeV. Think of VeV as a coupling constant for Higgs interactions a lot of the equations apply it in that manner. Energy is the ability to perform work. Energy density is the mean average over some field volume. Three distinct properties with distinctions in the mathematics Hope that helps
  19. I just wanted to start a conversation concerning the main topic/headline rather than my take/comments concerning the same.
  20. Can you restate that in coherent sentences please? At present this is incomprehensible. Perhaps if you can split it into several sentences, with one idea per sentence, it might help.
  21. Discrimination goes with comparison...anyway which rules did I break,you never talked about the math...is it the rules or is it the ideas that re not palatable? The simple math I posted,Since I understand this forum to be a learning opportunity,I was patiently waiting for persons like Modred to comment about the math so that I can make improvements where necessary or provide clarification if required to,I feel locked 🔒 for seeking knowledge or because of free reasoning.
  22. Recommend paying attention to the physics of waves. This will help you a lot with visualising what goes in quantum systems. Also matrices and complex numbers in mathematics, for later.
  23. Actually no.It was curious abdominal discomfort with a feeling of loss of autonomy due to semi obsessively following routine behaviour I also felt like stopping but that would have meant a bit of extra washing up. Kind of a fascistic side to me à table As a side note ,if there are so many possible emotional combinations, sophisticated AI robots will soon be making us all look like emotional retards and sexual infidelity with the mechanical sex will be rampant as who wants to live with a dolt? Not far off but it could have been any stodgy food.Potatoes would just be an examplar. maybe we could refer to it as "the goose's gullet". or "Le chagrin des oies gavés" I bet it was those gluttonous Belgians after all.
  24. Up to this date every single scientific development pertaining to R&D has been made widely accessible to the point that it has become very difficult for any one authority to maintain said authority without mutually assured destruction. Total global compromise is policy. This is why we can't have nice things. This one technology, if it exists, we would need to find out a way to use it without using calculators, every-single input made has a digital signature. We need to seriously discuss the security of our technological apparatus.
