Most likely the guy in the video has an induction coil under the table. You can clearly see that when he increases the distance the bulb stops working. The video is probably done in the kitchen and the whole thing is done over an induction stove. It is also possible (less likely) that theres a hidden power source inside the bulb itself (a small lithium ion battery) One thing for sure, he did not break laws of thermo-dynamics with a bulb, couple of coppper plates and magnets

Moon, if you have an induction stove at home you can see how its done for yourself. Grab a piece of wire, say 2 feet long, strip the ends of the wire and connect a cheap LED from a hardware store to both ends of the wire. Turn the wire to make a coil, 6 or 7 turns should do it depending on the LED type. Then grab a pair of big pliers (make sure they're insulated), grab the turned wire with the LED attached to both ends and put it on the induction stove. The LED will „magically” light up

This actually made me laugh:

I can’t stop to wonder how people were thinking when Newton expressed the laws of motion and did they feel the same sense of elegance coming from his formulations that we sense now from GR. I think they did, as Newton’s genius is definitely as profound as Einsteins. GR is too beautiful of a theory to be wrecked by some binary dwarf system out there yet its obviously missing something and that something has to be profound considering the circumstances of GR being experimentally untouchable for over a century now. I only hope that I will live to see more light being shed on this, what has been done in the last few years (Higgs Bozon) and what is happening now with plausible Sterile Neutrino is adding if not shaking the Standard Model of particles so the prospects are there. I just wish people like Gates, Buffett, Musk, Bezos would fund private physics research.

Tommy. Water at 3:31 is vibrating due to low frequencies from the loud speaker. It's behaving exactly how Newton and Einstein predicted. I don't know whats more ridiculous, your ignorance of high school level physics or your gullibility.

Link to the arxiv work published May 31st: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.12028.pdf Aparently there is some indirect evidence that a new type of fermion, a „sterile neutrino” with mass might exist and it might be a serious contender for dark matter. I must admit that my hobbyist level physics knowledge was lacking „chirality” up untill now...it seems that on top of spin there is another property of exotic matter which has to do with particle phase when partciles are in motion, it can be clockwise or anti clockwise direction. What bothers me is why haven’t we detected any direct or indirect evidence of a massive particle like this up untill now? @Janus, @swansont, could you shed some easilly digestible light on this discovery and hypothesize if this is actually something big or can we be dealing with a dud here?

Woo I'm scared! (I'm staying on topic which is Satan) So tell me what exactly are you warning me about and what consequences can I expect if I don't comply? You see I need to ask this because I need to gather info... ...to come up with another poem.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind a poem for Tommy I came up with in 2016:

Frankly, I don’t find football interesting, never did...but I watch some games because I come from a place where its considered weird not to engage in interest in football. I never bet on sports, I prefer poker - more control than betting on games and more adrenaline and certainly engaging in more complex situations than sitting and watching what gets done without any input. But thats just me, I can understand the thrill of betting on sports. As for the 20 years of training and not being able to hit the window from 11 metres, think about the stress...I stopped playing a sport professionally when I was in my 20’s because of not being able to perform under stress, its quite common that you make simple mistakes in high stress situations, guys who manage stress best in sports are winners.

Long time no see Eise.

How much would a 1,5kW vaccum cleaner emit ?

It is also worth mentioning that the inverse square law applies to all sources of EM radiation so if you have a WiFi router which emits x amount of radiation at 1m, if you increase the distance to 2m you get x/2. If you increase the distance to 2m you get x/4, 4m - x/16, etc. Considering the low powers used in all GSM and WiFi appliences the potencial side effects which are disputable anyway, will be completely negligible. It is funny that just 2 days ago someone put posters all over my neighbourhood boycotting GSM antenas put on on nearby buildings when in fact that person receives orders of magnitude more radiation from his/her home appliances - which isn’t harmful in any meaningful way anyway.

There, I fixed it for you

We know for a fact that GR is an incomplete theory in the context of a plausible GUT but I would say that there will never be an alternative theory to GR, it hopefuly will be broadened and supplemented with new insight enabling understanding of quantum gravity but there can be no alternative, its there and it works, it just doesn’t explain things beyond it. Having said that, I have to confess I haven’t read the wired and the arxiv articles yet

Bot mode again. This is becoming boring.

You do realise that you’re not making any sense again right? Why not stop the childish semantical game play, have you no shame? Don’t you realise there are trained scientists, philosophers and other academics here who read your incoherent BS?

A great one I suppose? I suggest you start listening and comprehending what is being layed out in front of you and only then use that knowledge to think and develop rational conclusions. So far you’re failing at that so your thinking is getting you nowhere.

Apperently I wasn’t far off saying that one of his comments is worthy of a cult leader few posts back. So your self is not your own?

Your version of faith is particularly nasty. A mixture of ignorance to rational thought and grandiose ideas about own self.

Faith also leads one to believe that he/she is somehow special in nature. Its a recuring theme in people of faith - little knowledge about anything and being convinced they’re special because their ignorant, empty inner self demands respect for being „special”

Yeah but what about before that beecee? Ha! You don’t know do you... therefore higher power! There you have the delusion of faith in a nut shell.

What if the thing is very tiny but very heavy at the same time?

I wonder if it plays chess too.

There are dozens of posts by me and others explaining where you are failing in this thread and how your reasoning is fallacious, try actually comprehending something from those posts, read Phi’s comments for example. But wait...you’re too deluded to do so, you conflate basic axioms like the one that faith is baseless and not supported by anything other than FAITH itself. @Strange has been pounding this into you a few times in this thread and you still don’t get it. Guess what, posting incoherent bs for 5 pages which everyone in this thread is politely pointing out to be unreasonable and then demand explanations after they have already been given to you multiple times is shifting the burden of proof which is yet another logical fallacy. You don’t make any sense and you are moving in circles but hey, I’m not surprised as religious faith in baseless fairy tales tends to do that to a person.

What a wonderful display of fallacy uppon a fallacy - circular reasoning being the most aparent in your last few posts. This is getting ridiculous.
