  1. Past hour
  2. @CharonY I was just pointing out how top and bottom levels aren't always distinctly separated functionally, as in the whale fecal detritus pathway. (also decomp pathways from larger animals) That is what I meant by a loop rather than a simple hierarchy. But yes, for sure there are hierarchical levels as nutrients pass up through trophic levels and isotopes concentrate.
  3. Okay, thanks for the correction. Appreciates fair and relevant explanations. If I finally got it right, the vacuum fluctuations are the probabilistic function which govern the VEV amount. Resulting in the vacuum expectation value. Which furthermore is expressed as approximately 246 GeV, if the Standard Model being used. Have to add that I never intended to mix the vacuum energy density with VEV, I fairly understand the differences. This issue although have been raised for to enlighten both physicals' functions. Similarities and differences. I try to learn from ChatGPT, which seemingly is a bit insecure at this level of physics. Thanks, again, for your answers. /chron44
  4. I am not able to tell if it's a cylinder or just something angled to present a narrow side of itself that is somewhat rounded. A photo analysis expert on those five frames would sure help. Yeah, do post more videos/pics if you want. If mods think not here, then maybe a thread devoted to photographic material and its interpretation? I have a photo expert in the family who can weigh in now and then.
  5. No. The centripetal force is Fc = mv^2/r, so greater r means greater v, which means a larger Lorentz factor relative to the centre of the wheel. Would that give the same answer as a gravitational redshift analysis assuming negligible spaceship mass?
  6. This is not really my field of study, but it is really not necessarily like that. There is an hierarchical order which can be measured, e.g. by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The lowest trophic level are occupied by autotrophs and are also called primary producers. They are frequently plants but also algae, and certain autotrophic organisms (including photosynthetic and chemotrophic bacteria). On top are various trophic levels occupied by heterotrophs, (which ecologists call consumers) and another missing category are organisms that mineralize organic matter (I believe they are called decomposers). But obviously any food web consists of more than animal and plants (and might not have either).

  8. The VeV isn't an issue it's something you observe only during scatterrings via say a particle accelerator it's a local property at each particle such as the W boson simply put a coupling term. The probabilities are much the same as the probabilities associated with Feymann path integrals. It isn't the vacuum energy density itself so it's not anywhere near Like the vacuum catastrophe from QM.
  9. I also wanted to say I’m happy to hear this post encouraged you to research SemiPrimes. That is what it is all about. I was going to be an adult educator until the professor failed me. But that is another story. I also hope that if you take the inverse of the dozens of equations that it will make the graph better for visual inspection. I also would be interested in what you are working on. Maybe you will share in the forums someday. BTW does anyone know what the picture of the writing on the wall is?
  10. Today
  11. What does it mean to “harvest” a direction? You must mean harvesting energy, surely? If this is a quantum system in its ground state, you cannot extract energy from it without breaking up the system. You have a form of zero point motion. You can’t extract energy from that. But if you have not yet learned any quantum theory you may find this hard to understand. All I can suggest is to read a bit, e.g. this link: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quantum/hosc4.html Don’t be scared by the maths, just read the text.
  12. So, here we have noticed at least two Standard Model (QFT) anomalies. First the cosmological catastrophe. And secondly an unexplained and unexpected large discrepancy between the VEV (even if being a probabilistic amount) and the observed cosmological constant. Thus, being the cornerstone in modern physics it is, it obviously can be shaken and giving strong divergences. If so, can we trust the 2012 LHC result at all? Is there a parallel theory and explanation for maybe the Higgs boson? The LHC did though confirm theories sprung from mid 1960's. -Finally, we have to trust the main parts in the Standard Model when proven right so many times. /chron44
  13. I agree, drones are definitely obfuscating the issue! This one doesn't look like a typical drone to me, its cylindrical shape is odd for a drone but with the evidence at hand drone is more likely. I posted this because it was recent and almost certainly not a hoax and was videoed recently and what ever it was it clearly presented a possible danger to aircraft in the area and shouldn't be ignored no matter what it is. I've seen quite a few "interesting" looking videos of late but I've refrained from posting them, not being sure if its proper to the forum. If no one objects I will post some of the most interesting on here. I know that since their providence is not known they do not constitute evidence and I am not suggesting they are anything but part of an interesting puzzle. If no one objects I do have several I want to present. It is difficult to find decent footage with out crazy people in the background talking about it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-M5hDC5x_Ys?feature=share
  14. Looks like a drone that strayed into forbidden air space near LaGuardia. It's apparent speed looks to me like an artifact of it and the plane's relative speeds. I would expect UAP sightings to jump as more people are playing with drones, some not responsibly.
  15. If it is factored into integral of the area -> A/(integral of r * integral of A) ->9pi/((3/1+1)^(1+1) x (3/2+1)^(2+1)pi) -> 9pi/(3/2)^2 x (3/3)^3 pi -> 9pi/(9/4 x pi) = 4; where r=3 Then you get your 4G/r for:
  16. At what grade/level of experience do you learn the math and complex stuff needed? (I'm getting bored in school, so this seems fun and will help me with becoming a theoretical physicist)
  17. See my previous post. And learn about trophic cascades. The chain is more like a loop, where autotrophs and heterotrophs interact in complex ways. Please read all replies, you can learn a lot.
  18. I find it interesting that many hunter-gatherer peoples did not believe in a personal god, but saw nature as alive, in various blends of animism and pantheism. The notion of a powerful Boss deity seems to have emerged along with more hierarchical societies and, as others note here, used for controlling hoi polloi. As a person in touch with my inner HG, I find the pantheist view to be prima facie less delusional. We seem to be hard wired to view nature as alive, and then unlearn that in western culture through indoctrination. Basically, one can be a dualist, in the sense of attributing a spiritual aspect to matter, without being a supernaturalist. The current philosophical stance of panpsychism seems closer to this, where matter is hypothesized to have some intrinsic consciousness however rudimentary.
  19. And perhaps you should too. I can sympathise with the conceit of not capitalizing 'god', but why on earth are you giving him a double initial 'g' in bei Gott? And while you're at it, please clarify the context of both 'he' and 'it'. Your anaphora is clear as mud. It's almost as if you're trying to deliberately obscure your meaning.
  20. It’s not a matter of you being an idiot. The details here involve advanced physics. Quantum oscillations don’t involve motion as you normally think about it - it’s not like a pendulum, where you can make the amplitude a little smaller. In quantum systems the energy differences are like steps, and in the ground state there isn’t a lower step.
  21. A rotation will slow the clock down; this has been independently measured citations 82-84 in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity You can analyze these as equivalent to gravitational redshifts with acceleration v^2/r
  22. However, there still is change and the time crystal oscillates in a perpetual pattern. If you figure out the pattern and the relative locations (Point A to Point B of the time crystal's motion), couldn't you set up two checkpoints that harvest this change in distance, which will go infinitely? (I have no clue how this will work, I'm not even in high school) If I am being an idiot, be free to call me out.
  23. But the food chain starts with the plants, so that makes the plants the producers. That's what I was taught in biology class, that the producers are at the start of the food chain. If you're not at the start of the food chain you're not a producers, which means all the producers are plants.
  24. I'm not sure what is going on but UFO of UAP sightings have jumped and cell phones are catching them! This video is a news broadcast of a recent sighting from an Airliner over NYC. The video is quite clear and appears to show an extraordinary object in flight near the airliner... a safety hazard if nothing else!
  25. In the case of the twin paradox, the redshift and blueshift are due to the relative velocity between the source and receiver. In the case of gravitational redshift and blueshift, equivalent to accelerational redshift and blueshift, there is no relative velocity between the source and receiver. The redshift and blueshift is due to the acceleration itself, and depends on the displacement between source and receiver. If one examines the metric of an accelerated frame of reference, sources that are at rest and above the receiver (note that the acceleration is directed upward) will be blueshifted, while sources that are at rest and below the receiver will be redshifted. It is worth noting that the source that is at rest below the receiver has a greater acceleration than the receiver, and that the source that is at rest above the receiver has a lesser acceleration than the receiver. However, this does not determine the redshift or blueshift, and it might not apply to gravitation.
  26. Okay, in simple terms explained VEV is not like G, the gravitational constant, applicable almost in every astro physical formula. VEV has different amounts in different theories' framework. Or as Mordred says - being a probabilistic value. A necessary note is that the observed value of the VEV being around 246 GeV is specific to the Standard Model framework and the experimental results obtained at the LHC. So according to (using) the Standard Model and QFT..?? we still have the discrepancy not totally explained. /chron44
  27. We love our carbs! Maybe a better way to get the nuances of food chains is through trophic cascades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_cascade Also, in understanding how large heterotrophs also "produce," look at fecal detritus pathways. Whales have been studied, regarding their importance in this kind of pathway.... https://marinesanctuary.org/blog/whale-poop-and-climate-change/
