  1. Potential energy is turned to Kinetic energy and back at the same rate. It would take the same amount of energy to go up than it made going down. And that is in a perfect frictionless enviroment. When friction is present,

    PE[math]_1[/math]+KE[math]_1[/math]=KE[math]_2[/math]+PE[math]_2[/math]+Energy(Work done by Friction)

    Which Reduces to

    PE[math]_1[/math]=KE[math]_2[/math]+Energy[math]_o[/math][math]_u[/math][math]_t[/math]

     

    Therefore, it takes more energy than it produces.

    Hydroeletric systems rely on the potential energy the water has but it also relys on the sun to evaporate the water to rivers and resupply the water up high.

  2. One article in Scientific American a while back said that ever since agriculture became used in Asia (rice fields and then it spread to the rest of the world) the greenhouse gasses started to increase dramatically. It has been increased higher since the industrial age started but the cause from agriculture had been culminating for thousands of years. I can't remember what exactly it said but I'm pretty sure that was the jist of it.

  3. The next major pertubation may actually lead to something progressive. The next logical move for humanity is one world, one culture. If we are one big moderately happy family, it becomes easier to deal with things that threaten the common peace. As long as we have to maintain social differentiation between countries, the breeding grounds of discontent remain fertile. As a family problem, the breeding gounds will change due to the overlap. This will alter the nature of the discontent.

    This would be nice but it would never happen and wouldn't last. People will still have different opinions on religion, how the government should work, and financial situations. There would be different factions formed and eventually end up as different nations again. Many cultures cannot be squashed into one and expect progressive results (short of brainwashing.)

  4. Believing in TK is logical? Just because it is 100% dissproved and is totally illogical? Everything should be taken with a pinch of salt. There was this one video of a guy showing how many of the illusions works that was posted on an earlier thread. I'll go try to find it.

     

    edit:: I found it http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18642&highlight=video

    He talks about some illusions and it's very interesting. He also talks about the physics too.

  5. like i said' date=' there is to much unknown, we won't know for sure if its possible or how it could work untill science and technology advances. so for now, the best option would be to stay nutral. and just see what happens in the next few years.

     

    i suggest studing it from another POV, that of a mystasist perhaps. a true scientist studies something from all possible views, and then formulates an opinion.[/quote']

    I have. From the POV of TK existing it ridicules all scientific theory and principles I know. From the skeptic, it makes sense. It does not exist. Best to believe they are illusions and not be fooled.

  6. there is nothing wrong with being skeptical, and i was not useing physics lack of completion as proof for telekinesis's existence. just leaveing a possiblity open. but you saying the it doesn't exist, was, as i said, closed minded. my point is, there is no scientific proof either way, only speculation. so you should't say weather its real or fake. because we simply don't know.

    How could you explain how it could even be possible. It would involve something which produced enough energy to move things a few feet away. We have mapped the brain pretty well and found no such suspicous thing. Why can only some people do it too? It doesn't add up and they are just illusions. People have shown how it could be done using illusions and it's MUCH better to attribute it to that.

  7. I think if something like that existed there would be more proof. I am very skeptical when something lacks ANY proof. The reason it works for smaller audiences is because it is easier to TRICK them. It is all an illusion. The laws of physics and science are incomplete but to use that as proof or a reason is strawmanning. Where would the energy come from? Why would it work? It doesn't make any sense and has never been CLOSE to proved and is ludicrious. I therefore choose to be very skeptical.

  8. yes' date=' for evadence on some TV show, as for evadence like in some lab, it would be easier to preform TK without all the people and cameras. anything is harder to do with alot of people watching.

    with TK, you have to focus all you attention onto the object your trying to move, thats very difficult with a croud watching you.

    so yes, the reason we don't yet have evadence is because the "controlled conditions" are not comfterable for the person preforming TK.[/quote']

    The reason we don't have evidense is because it doesn't exist.
