  1. Why are the quotes not in english? Yes, but you provided that reference. Maybe you need to provide additional references or explanations? Sorry, but the above explanation did not clarify what you want to discuss.
  2. You seem to have missed: How do you modify your definitions of electricity when the observer is changing frame of reference?
  3. According to you, the ratio 1:X where X is irrational is not a ratio? Your three options seem to allow only for rational numbers. Please do so. I see no connection between the steps 1-5 and the wikipedia article.
  4. Titel: Does not seem to be supported by the linked wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_egg. The article lists various mythologies: Vedic mythology Zoroastrianism mythology Greek mythologyEgyptian mythology Phoenician mythology Chinese mythology Finnish mythology Polynesian mythology Dogon mythology Ant then briefly states something connected to cosmology. According to the article the term "cosmic egg" seems to have fallen out of favour, superseded by other models or terminology. (bold by me) Same source as OP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_egg Question: How is this mythological concept of a "cosmic egg" tied to the mainstream science of today?
  5. Using your definitions, what do you use to model and explain superconductivity? By your definitions, the current running through a superconductor not electricity?
  6. In scientific discussions wouldn't that add confusion? In science it is not uncommon to analyse electromagnetism and electrical phenomenons in different frames of reference. A charge that is stationary in one frame of reference may be moving seen from another frame of reference. A definition of electricity that includes both stationary charges and moving charges does not necessarily have to change when moving between frames of reference. And then, for discussing specific phenomenons, there are "Electrostatics", Electrodynamics" etc each having their own scientific definition. That said, I agree with: But in science I prefer rigorous definitions. In some everyday talk the situation is different. (My first language is not english, providing a list of translated example could easily miss the point and be off topic)
  7. How about answering the questions first, instead of adding new stuff? (bold by me) No I can't. I want more rigor in a scientific discussion.
  8. What is "auto-observing"? What is "clumps of matter"? What is "999,999,990,000,000 clumps of matter each second", is that within some defined volume?
  9. I do not think that is a plausible explanation. Let's try some thought experiments to find arguments. This is provided as an example how you could probe this (and maybe other ideas): 1: Assume that clouds and snow in combination reflects more moonlight than snow or clouds in separation, enough to lighten up the dark areas of the moon. If that assumption is correct, how would the night-side of the earth, when lit by moonlight, look like from space ? If areas with snow and clouds are more reflective that snow or clouds there would be bright patches where snow is covered by clouds. I don't not think that matches what is actually observed. 2: Assume that light from earth could make the dark area of the moon look as bright as the sunlit area of the moon (so that for instance a half moon looks like a full moon). How bright would the earth be when seen from the moon? Almost as bright as the sun? I don't not think that matches what is actually observed. 3: Use the available incoming light from moon and assume that all of it is reflected back towards the dark area of the moon. Then calculate how much of that light that is reflected off moon again to be visible by an observer back on earth. The calculation would reveal that available light is not enough to make areas of the moon that is not lighten by sun look bright as the sunlit area. I think that this 3rd case could be generalized to mathematically support that reflections between two bodies could not possibly create the observed effect. The second reflection of the observed body will always be darker than the area where the first reflection occurs. That said, I might speculate* a little about the observation. What happens when car headlights are visible through fog? The light is spread out and the amount of spreading depends on the amount of fog. If the car's headlights are not circular but in some other shape, is that shape visible through the fog? With the "right" amount of fog would the shape of the moon be obscured but the light still visible, spread out by the fog, so that the light source (moon) looks circular? The following picture does not necessarily support my statement, it just serves as an illustration: Does the car have circular or non circular lights? *) I do not have time to track down any sources supporting my statements. Hence I stat it as questions and not claims and label it speculative at this point.
  10. Hello Steve. I'll try to answer the directions question and not speculate or try to explain the actual effect. I do not think that reflection of light off clouds is a plausible explanation for the observed effect. Some arguments: -If it would be possible for reflective clouds to light up the dark area of the moon then the same effect would be observable when watching the moon from a snowy landscape. Snow has similar (or higher) albedo* and would reflect the same for more light from earth to moon. -If the clouds would reflect enough light to lighten up the moon's dark parts then the effect would be visible also where there are no clouds straight above. Light hitting the surface of the moon is not reflected straight back only , it is reflected and spread at other angles as well. You would have seen a full moon also before and after the clouds passed. That said, earth does illuminate the moon slightly. But the light is much fainter than sunlight: Source: https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/ask-ethan-how-bright-is-the-earth-as-seen-from-the-moon-627eb1554ca9 Wikipedia have some info on earthsine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetshine#Earthshine Nasa page with some pictures and info: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/83782/earthshine *) Different types of clouds exhibit different reflectivity, theoretically ranging in albedo from a minimum of near 0 to a maximum approaching 0.8. Fresh snow up to 0.9. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo)
  11. You have selected the correct forum then. Here you could ask questions for instance about for instance -How rocket engine works in vacuum -What the laws of physics and mainstream science predict -How to make calculations of the above -References to reliable material There are plenty of rather skilled members that will provide answers. Are you familiar with the basics of Newton? That could be a good start to understand what physics have to say about rocket takeoff and thrust in vacuum.
  12. If static charge is not electricity, can you provide a definition of what a static charge is? The following definition matches what how it was defined when i studied: Electricity: a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current. (Oxford English Dictionary)
  13. Do you mind providing some evidence or arguments about why you believe that to be the case? Mainstream models of physics disagree with your statement. If you prefer some videos showing how it works you could google for "vacuum chamber rocket experiment".
  14. Some questions: Does an observation made on earth differ* from an observation made with a space based telescope? Does differences match what your idea predict? *) Differ regarding the observation of dark matter as stated by OP.
  15. Can you provide some source other than a list of links to one specific publisher? Does some mainstream scientists agree with the ideas of Colin Leslie Dean?
  16. Another simple attempt: For instance some laundry detergents and cosmetics are visible in uv light. If the button for activating the mechanism is not regularly cleaned (or cleaned using "wrong" products) chances are that an inspection with an uv light would reveal the button since it may have more contaminations than the surrounding area. Those contaminations might not be visible in daylight. The idea may be useful if you want the discovery of the button to be by mistake rather than a deliberate design. A different color under uv light is plausible. Here is an example picture from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence:
  17. Low-tech idea, not using UV, variant of the above from Mike-from-the-Bronx: The protagonist uses raking light* and notice that one brick is not aligned with the rest of the wall. The brick is loose and hides a button. Or the brick itself is the button. Reason for the brick not to be aligned could be that it was not properly placed back by a previous visitor. UV idea: One brick is not made of same material as the rest. In visible light it not possible to tell the difference but In UV light the fake brick (the button) looks slightly different. It could by mistake** contain minerals mentioned by @swansont *) I had to search for the English term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raking_light **) I have not researched if that makes sense scientifically
  18. Can you explain what and idea that can't be observed is? Compared to an idea that can be observed? Which ones? Those not knowing what science is or those not knowing binary ascii? Others?
  19. I was not afraid at all to try to discuss the topic in various threads. It was unfortunately not very fruitful for reasons already mentioned by moderators above. And the possible implications of a few conjectures with no evidence and no support by mainstream models and observations are not very scary.
  20. I bumped into another person on the subway this morning. I could feel his kinetic energy, the collision almost made me fall. Depends on what is claimed. I'm open minded to models and supporting scientific observations and evidence.
  21. Ok. Here is some layman pondering: If gravity is derived from space as you propose how come empty space has virtually no gravity and gravity is strongest where there is virtually no space (centre of a black hole) ?
  22. @CharonY have posted good answers, I'll just add a few layman notes. If the sample is indeed unknown or unidentified due to some reason that's all there is to say: "unknown" or "unidentified". Cryptids does not exist according to current evidence available in mainstream science. No lab is going to have big foot, chupacabra or other cryptids' DNA in store for reference. An unknown sample could possibly be classified as a potential new species, related to some other known species and call for further scientific research. But I can't find a scientific argument why "unknown" DNA alone would be evidence for existence a cryptid. Another related thread* was just posted, possibly an example where a DNA test could return "unknown". If a hair sample belonging to an extinct species was analysed, without any context or details known, the result might be "unknown"? *) https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/120650-18000-year-old-dog-found-in-permafrost/?tab=comments#comment-1124191
