  1. I recall when I was a teaching assistant there was a lab on Faraday's law. You had a coil with some number of turns, and you flipped it and looked at the induced current in a circuit. Students used it to deduce the earth's magnetic field. And it worked reasonably well. One fun part of this was that students on one corner of the room got a different answer because there was an NMR lab one floor up, and when that magnet was on, it was strong enough to affect the field in that corner of the room. So they got a number noticeably larger than students at the other side of the room.

  2. Im not sure if this is the right place to ask, the right category, the righr dorum etc. Also im only 15yo so dont explain in too professionam terms please. But ive always wondered this... When people bring up searching for extraterrestial life its always about if water is present on the planet, why is this? I know we live from water and so do fish, where we originally originate from and the bacteria they originated from lived in water but i dont see this as proof. Cant evolution on a planet without water just work with chlorine for example, or an element not even present on earth and thus not known to humanity. Same applies to distance to the sun to have a temperature sweetspot, wouldnt another planet have life evolved to their temperature? I mean we have had animals for ice ages and, well, not ice ages... unless you really are able to prove me wrong here i feel lile we need another planet with this theory proven for it to be sure. Im not trying to start the next flat earth like community but im just trying to understand.

  6. That's confusing. "Could a similar philosophical stance arise in Christianity?" refers to future events. Whether something happened in the past is a question of history, and your post suggests that it did not. Do you mean to investigate an alternative history?

  9. This would also depend on how thick and heat conductive the paint is. A thinner coat would be better as the copper is more conductive.

  10. Part of this depends on the state of the copper. If it's polished and the surface is flat, it is very reflective. But a rough, oxidized surface can have an emissivity that's quite large, meaning it acts more like a blackbody. It also depends on the properties at different wavelengths https://www.flukeprocessinstruments.com/en-us/service-and-support/knowledge-center/infrared-technology/emissivity-metals Assuming it's shiny copper, if you paint it, it should be a matte finish, since a glossy one would reflect more light. That will probably heat up faster than just the copper. Maybe you do an experiment and see how it heats up before and after painting?

  11. Are you implying that asking whether science can prove the existence of 17 balls of jello, each with the mind of a baby, but whose mutual communication results into a common mega intelligence that rules our universe is a ridiculous question?

  12. The shock wave in water would be an interesting phenomenon. A problem with streamlining a submarine hull is that it's not the best shape for a pressure hull. Keeping out pressures above atmosphere are a priority for submarines, whereas planes never have to deal with a static difference greater than 1 atm, usually it's even less, and when it's an issue it's about keeping air in rather than being crushed. An autonomous or remotely-piloted vehicle would be required.

  13. That would make for an interesting design exercise. The speed of sound in water is approx. 1500 m/s. Streamlining ( finesse ratio )would need to be extreme ( long and pointy ) so the shock wave would disturb a very thin cone of water. And Whitcomb area rule where any control surfaces are located. Propulsion would be another problem; the standard axial screw ( propeller ) could not be used as the thrust would need to be faster than supersonic ( no such thing as a supersonic propeller plane ). The only viable solution would be rocket propulsion. A 'trick' used by Russian torpedoes is to encase the hull n a sheath of gas ( usually Oxygen generated by H2O2 ) to enable faster speeds; that might also be applied. This however, would negate the benefit of the water as a heat sink to alleviate dynamic heating. Does anyone think anything of the sort would be feasible ?

  21. I think there is a systemic issue going on. It may be different in Ivy leagues, but I have worked mostly in smaller institutions and what I have observed is that folks are way more focused on good grades and the degree rather than the topic. Over time, it seems, folks are have more and more a kind of optimization mindset, in which they want to figure out how to get the best grades in the most efficient amount of time. You often hear a lot of questions trying to figure out what may be in exams, rather than about the topic you have been just talking about. To many, this endless learning of facts, is the most effective way, as it takes a bit until things click. Many kids are too restless to get to that point.

  22. My advice to "Write in your own words, but retaining technical terms" was based upon gaining an understanding of the principles. That was the primary process I used to acquire and demonstrate (to myself) understanding. If I couldn't express the concept in my own words, then I didn't understand it. On reflection it occurs to me that this might not work for everyone and that it might be possible to write in ones own words without real understanding. The lack of motivation noted by CharonY is puzzling to me. From my perspective if you understood the concepts - and had a handful of examples illustrating those concepts - then you didn't need to have the chore of learning endless "facts" that had nothing holding them together.

  26. Look please at the figure below: The red and the blue circles are cross sections of the two relevant sides of the rectangular loop. The two ends of the loop are connected to two slip rings. One slip ring is connected to the Plus-terminal of an oscilloscope; the other slip ring is connected to the Minus-terminal. Let's say we have colored the two relevant sides of the loop - one in red color, the other in blue color. In the figure (b) the loop has rotated 180 degrees with respect to its position in the figure (a). Can you guess what I am going to say next? How much would you bet? I will bet as much as you say. Dropping a magnet through a coil is completely different setup from a loop which rotates in a magnetic field. The time will tell. Just sit back and relax.

  27. I came up with this odd equation to explain the Tunneling Effect that exists at the event horizon of a black hole. -1<=0=>(-10)+11 This may not adhere to any standard format. I typed this up awhile back and don't want to edit it. I'll type up a better version with some art. I would like feed back, you may as well save "you're wrong." On the surface -1=0=1 cancels out and is mathematically sound. I will do my best to clarify this concept. My math was derived while doing paintings and research on the paranormal. My methods would be considered scientific nonsense. Much of my data was derived from tearing through every layer of reality in my imagination. Hence, I see things visually in shapes and patterns in my mind. I will focus on the primary concept of -1<=0=>(-10)+11. The -1 is the original state of reality, an infinite outward pull not constrained. This leads to -1<=0 as reality expanded outward, it reached a point of balance, we would recognize as nothing. The first -1 represents the “less than nothing” state of reality initially. When nothing was generated simultaneously, the equation continued -1<=0=>(-10)+11. The -10 is an expanse of negative pull created after nothing and with the 11. This would be the big bang. We exist between the -10 and 11, the 1 remaining representing our total universe. At this point, I speculate the 0 in -10, would be written the same way as the original. -1<=0=>-1-1<=0=>(-10)+11. This represents a sheathing effect, each universe tunneling into the next. Light and darkness existing simultaneously and in a banded pattern. While the universe appears spherical, that is only a 3-dimensional representation. ---(-1)(-1)(-1)---(1)(1)--- -------(1)(1)---(-1)(-1)(-1)--- ---(-1)(-1)(-1)----(1)(1)--- This format demonstrates positive energy that exists within these negative energy pockets. A '-1' is counted omnidirectionally. A cubic intersection. This existence is simultaneous, every '1' represented by (-1)(-1). This negative pull is infinite, so is the energy generation from it. There is never any data loss, only generation. The universe is tunneling forward in time. The point of the original split will eventually be devoid of energy and a new universe will open, ours now a band around it. That said, I've kind of been procrastinating on this. I'm not sure if my Grand Unified Theory will take a week or a year. Feel free to beat me to it. I will take my hoverboard prebuilt and my laser swords assembly required. Blackholes exist as the negative pulling force between 8 cubic tesseracts. Gamma-ray bursts happen as these tesseracts naturally expand, the last burst of light are these cubes corners intersecting before splitting apart. The space between these cubes corners splitting eventually reaching the nothing state that will generate a new universe within our current universal strand. Blackholes exist as an Omni-directional negative pull from our perspective. Each black hole is a data storage device, but it does not store data. Anything entering into a black hole is reduced to basic format, ensuring the maximum possible amount of universes be generated. Each bit of data or positive energy is a potential expanding point that would eventually tunnel in on itself and create a new universe tesseract. These shapes are formed naturally by the expansion of the negative pull. The human mind is an example of an infinite negative pull, the unlimited potential to expand into the darkness within; while generating light in the form of electric impulses. Human memory is near infinite because it experiences the same static expansion as the universe. There is a generally shared frame rate between any universe. The amount of new generation would be limitless, best described as a Rainbow Sheen Choas Flicker Resonance. Positive energy exists in a state of pure vibration, growing into infinities as the endless negative pull attempts to balance itself. Nothing is a state that is inevitably split into positive energy by the cubic intersections generated by endless initial generating points of omnidirectional negative vacuums. I believe the total amount of intersections would be 24, each corner of the cube casting out and in 3 sides of a cube, which interweaves with the 3 sides of a cube cast out and in by each other corner. These corners are blackholes to us, each one would be helping to stabilize reality. We would be interwoven with everything in existence. The spiral pattern formed in many places as matter pulls in on itself provides what I call a "light sheath" allowing both to exist. As light is produced it stabilizes the patterns of dark strands. Looking out at the night sky, we often perceive a layer of black. From that view, I would use the tiny strand of light connecting a person to the past as an example. All those tiny strands of light connect a person all the way to that past, no matter how far. The light we cast out, bounces equally far into the future. An endless chain. An astronaut beyond the Earth's atmosphere would say that space looks white. The stars and galaxies producing a sheen of light. From that view, I would use the tiny wobbles of darkness between them, to represent we are equally connected through dark strands. At this point, a person would perceive the light coming in a straight line, always somehow destined for their eye to catch. This is where I must describe a Chaos Frequency Intersection. Straight lines are hard to come by in reality. Take every step combined with every action, including the shapes a person would make while spinning on the Earth in its orbit around the sun; this is what I call a Chaos Connection. That strand of light moves in a curved pattern itself; as it experiences framerate movement and negative pull; it is interwoven at each frame. The strand itself bending in accordance with the overall resonance patterns being generated. Each strand flickers from light or dark, both existing simultaneously, based on the relative positioning of everything else. These strands extend through all time, like a shadow or beam of light. When these strands no longer exist in a section of space reaching the Zero State, a new universe opens at the same fractal level we experience. Universes exist in larger and smaller formats, never intersecting and all continuing to grow as the overall Resonance Harmonic increases. A small universe would expand to reach the size of our own. Our own universe will expand through the stages of larger format bands. Each strand in the larger format made from spaced out universal bubbles, tunneling in all directions into further universe generation.

  28. I have a few paintings with brief versions of the story on my insta @Keeney.jacob IMO this may already be known math, or the effect at least. I derived much of my math while astral projecting, and I can't even remember when I got that formula, I just knew it was important and I battled my way from Hell to Heaven busting up some ghosts. Source for the equation - Stephen Hawking, Founder of the Ghost Science Center. The place somehow got smashed up, motha fucka didn't want to talk or cave to torture. Somehow Neil deGrass Tyson is up there and I managed to get some knowledge in a hostage situation.

  29. I will, I busted black holes while ghost hunting. I'll take a piss on some degrees sooner or later. But you can wait till I dabble in product proofs. I will also being drawing out the higher dimensions in order, since I can visually see them. For context: How to Divide By Zero - Explained for laymen. Understand, I am currently re writing math, it may never pan out but all is a mental exercise to me. 1/0= Undefined - site my bad math all you want I'd start with yours here. Definition of Zero, 1-1=0 2-2=0, producing a canceling effect. 1/0= -1 it's mirror neuron 1/0 = 1/1-1 = -1 I call this basic math but you all do you. 2/0 = -2 3/0 = -3 An inverted absolute value in our current system perhaps. My investigation always continues. My research uses an all angles approach. Dust off those old text books you are certain don't contain the right answers tho. I'll be Bustin' Ghosts.

  30. That's fair enough, I wasn't sure what practical application this might have. But thought it might slot in somewhere. I basically wove this wild theory through out random reddit comments to deep for me to even sift through. I didn't even re-read this, assuming someone may see immediate value where I didn't. As I said, you want to wait for all the answers from me, feel free to keep waiting trash. I'll take a look at Corona Virus I guess, may be out of my depth - is there any place data is actually compiled? If not I can tell you why science takes so long and I may as well re-write it.

  31. I read that a good software engineer automates what they want not to do - and they want not to do most things. I stopped in to ask a question, and then I posted some more. I had an imagination you might respond different than I know of you: that you have little Science of Self, and a refusal to develop it. I love my body, and my Self, and I don't tolerate doldrum. But note my signature. We head toward and into one. The other determines our path(s) there. @Swansont: "Humans have an emotional capacity that facilitates a great range of behavior. You believe things as you need emotional investment in something for it to have relevance to you", allows and provides a formal, neutral rendering. Those words and that language allow Science. @studiot: re - General Stanley - look below..... @Everyone: 'pussy hurts' conjers in my mind having one, and it hurting. As in grade school I imagined having one and experiencing a 'period', while my mom described hers to me. As George Carlin said, 'they're just words', and they allow us to transcend ourselves.

  33. All right. I can continue then. These are your words. It's a total ineptitude to say that the science can prove the existence of 17 balls of jello, each with the mind of a baby, but whose mutual communication results into a common mega intelligence that rules our universe. It's because you said it yourself: I do not know why this commentary has disappeared from the thread. But is still present on your profile.
