    I can prove that by inducting energy into person he would have at least 50% to 80% results in any sport and it will be hard for him to be tired or weak. If we can discover how to induct or inject that energy into ourselves more efficient there are so many possibilities

     

    More efficiently than what? Can you show that it is actually possible?

  2. The moon's mass has increased and the earth's mass decreased. This is real. There are flags from earth on the moon right now. According to Sir Isaac's law of mutual gravitation, the mutual attraction of the two bodies is greater with flags having switched from the earth to the moon. The larger body has less mass. The smaller body has that mass. The product of the masses of the two bodies is now greater.

     

     

     

     

    That observation in itself does not give you the right to conclude that Newton's Law is wrong - that is an extremely simplistic argument. What you need to consider is the work needed to transport the flag from the Earth to the Moon, and the change in potential energy of the flag in moving it.

     

    I might even be tempted to work out the maths here. But given that the object would be to demonstrate the validity of a law which would have been rejected ages ago if your argument actually had some merit, I'll just leave it to you to collect your Nobel prize.

  3. when you use the quote function you will notice two quote commands enclosed by

     

    [...] copy those two quote commands one at the beginning and one at the end of the quoted section. Copy them and place them where you want your seperations.

     

    Keep your replies outside the enclosed quote commands.

     

    But I don't see this. All I see is the box on light blue with a heading "Modred... said" Sorry to be off-topic

    No evidence of things does not mean there do not exists as some of you pointed out up.

     

    I agree - a lack of evidence does not prove it does not exist. But you have to appreciate that science works with quantifiable variables, and if you can't quantify or measure some concept, then it remains in the realm of philosophy.

     

     

     

    Energy is sense of force which governs our reality as such. Like vitality, body functions, movement of atoms ... and those are dimensions that this "energy" as basis governs or moves various dimensions of our reality, experience, emotion and everyday life.

     

    Here, I understand what you are referring to. But in scientific terms, energy and force are not the same and cannot be equated. You are using a vocabulary which a scientist will dismiss as meaningless. This does not mean that your concepts do not exist, just that you are not being scientific when describing them.

     

    Edit: how can I chop up a post and create two quotations? This formatting baffles me

  5. Energy doesn't have dimensions.

    What do you think you mean?

     

    He's not using the terms "energy" and "dimensions" as a scientist would. I've tried having this kind of conversion many times, and they inevitably fail because when the terms differ from scientifically accepted ones, nobody is ever capable of defining what they actually do mean. This makes the dialogue impossible.

  6. yes, I'm actually thinking that if we can discover this energy which seems to be more subtle then physical one ....

     

    .... even if I can proof it anytime in any lab condition to exists -

     

    If it is not "The physical one" then it is not what mainstream science calls energy, so give it another name! If lab conditions exist to prove it, then it must by a physical energy. How do you expect to measure some form of "mental energy" in a lab?

  7. Energy (Qi/Chi) seems to be ridiculed by science which is defensive behavior from maniacs and hoax.

     

    Mainstream science recognizes energy as a definable and measurable concept. If you want to research something like Qi/Chi, I suggest you either demonstrate that it is a form of energy as scientifically recognized, or you call it something else. The former option will probably result in a Nobel prize.

  8. My first step would be to excavate around where the downpipe drain goes underground. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the elbow which tells you which direction it runs off at. I would be tempted to dig a trench along the line of that drain and find out what provision there is to lose the water. Until you've done that, I can't see much point in suggesting anything else.

  9. My own personal experience is that flies are mainly attracted to moisture. Where I live (Tenerife) the climate is very dry, usually a very low humidity. When I have had a shower and emerge with my head wet, I am tormented by any flies in the house who find it an instant target, and I usually finish up with the absurd attempt at swatting myself on the head for 20 minutes. When I've dried off, they lose interest.

     

    They also make a beeline (if I'm allowed to mix insects) for any pools of water, such as in the sink or on a work surface where something has dripped.

  10. Jesus was a man of peace. His apostles were a peaceful folk. There is no account of them engaging in attempts to spread their religion by force.

     

     

    That's not how christianity developed, though. It was utterly vile in the Middle Ages, the Spanish Inquisition is an obvious example of spreading religion by force.

  11. My 8-year old grandson plays the violin. He usually tunes his violin before a lesson, using his teacher's electrical device which measures pitch exactly (you specify, say, middle A and play the note, and the machine shows green if spot on). Yesterday he tuned his violin at home, this time using his mother's identical machine which she uses for singing practice. He then claimed the machine was wrong, it wasn't the same note. This was dismissed as nonsense, but she checked later and discovered that her machine was set to A=440 Hz (Concert pitch in the UK and USA), whereas the teacher's machine was set to A=443 Hz which is standard in Germany (where he and his teacher live).

     

    Given that half a tone difference is a frequency change of about 25 Hz at that pitch, I find that noticing a difference of 3 Hz is unusual to say the least. Now I know that the ear is sensitive enough to detect a difference of about 1 Hz when two notes are played one after the other, but this was not the case - he just heard one note in isolation and claimed it was wrong.

     

    So my question is this: Is such a sensitivity to pitch plausible?

  12. Ha! Sounds cool - in a few years time when the tech has shrank to the size of a pin head you could strap a go-pro to one of them - lol.

     

    Somebody already has researched the behaviour of bees by having tiny trackers on their heads, so the technology is there. But my budget isn't.

  13. GPS location of a small embedded chip would probably do and sounds pretty simple.... my cocktail stick suggestion obviously wasn't really that serious and was aimed at DrK for his lizard tracking problem - I don't know why but the image of DrK stabbing little flags into the backs of lizards and then imagining him with a clip board, white coat and a pen, noting down the lizard locations just made me giggle.

     

    Yes - sounds like fun. But there is no information about how these creatures behave, and they are fascinating. They live in dry stone walls and are continually hiding in crevices, so any device such as a cocktail stick would not last long. They seem to have a kind of territory, at least the large males do, and I would like to monitor (pun alert) lizard territory behaviour. Their social behaviour is a mystery, and I suspect the males have a kind of hareem. There is one group which lives in a hole in our house wall, and consists of a large male and female and what are perhaps several offspring of various sizes, or perhaps they are girlfriends. Their favourite food is scrambled egg, but they are also keen on bacon, coldslaw and cheese. They are quite prepared to walk onto my hand to get this.

  14. I have been wondering how to track lizards in our garden, because their movements and habits are rather a mystery. I would welcome information on tracking devices, but they would have to be cheap and weigh less than, say, 1 gram, so I think I'm on a loser here. I haven't even begun to solve the problem of how to catch them and fix the device anywhere safe.

  15. I'm all for "making difficult topics understandable" but not at the expense of accuracy. For example, in that link:

     

    This “inverse-square law” is quite sophisticated enough to explain .... why the planets travel in an elliptical orbit around the Sun

     

    This is quite wrong for starters. It is the conservation of angular momentum which determines that, not the inverse square relationship. He then goes on to talk of the principle of equivalence, expressed as gravity and acceleration being the same force, which is a baffling mixture of dimensions.

  16. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the answer is......... drum roll please....... NO!

     

    Well actually, ladies and gentlemen, I have to inform you that we did have some chickens which laid bluish eggs, and they were.... drum roll... blue chickens. I jest not - they were Blue Leghorns.

     

    Edit: this amazing piece of information has only just occurred to me, but 'tis true. We had them when we lived on a sheep farm, and the chicken used to love eating the maggots they found in sheep droppings. This resulted in the eggs having green yolks, but that's another issue.
