Nope, actually you missed the major point of the study, which was that they use the same area for self and for God, rather than the area for other people for God.

 

I haven't slept just yet so excuse me, but yeah, thats what I meant to say. I did read the entire article.

Consider yourself lucky to have alien DNA.

Are there any theories out there that describe the properties of matter in theoretical higher dimensions? Specifically 3 dimensional time, two dimensional 'space.' (or time-space)

All that really means is that the same areas of the brain which we use to try to perceive what other people are thinking we use to try to perceive what god (or if you want to be more accurate, the consciousness of the universe) is 'thinking.'

There are a variety of ways. Google photonic bandgap and metamaterials, for a start. Photonic bandgaps also allow for the conversion of environmental light into electricity much more efficiently than photovoltaics.

Cutting them in half does not give you two monopoles.

 

Why not?

 

just to clarify, I know why not, but since this is a science forum, maybe you want to give a reason behind something instead of just saying 'this is so'

ajb, wouldn't the presence of both magnetic monopoles and magnetic dipoles violate the law of conservation of energy? For example, if you were to move a magnetic monopole in a closed loop following a magnetic field line, it would continuously gain energy. Where would this energy come from?

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say it would continuously 'gain energy', but it would continuously follow the path of least resistance, which would cause it to continuously accelerate from our perspective. No energy is gained or lost in such a behavior. Does a magnet 'lose energy' by interacting with another magnet? Do electrons 'gain energy'?

 

That is the problem with most people's perception on the conservation of energy.. they refuse to consider that available energy is conserved while in a nonequilibrium steady state system.

While browsing a client's youtube channel I came across

video in his favorites section. I was immediately struck after watching it, and it seemed to just 'click' in my mind. I would like any of you to critique the theory or at least provide your opinion on it. The first thing that popped into my mind as far as questions go was: 'waves occuring in what medium?' If there is an aether-like substrate to the physical universe (well, what we perceive to be the physical universe), a wave action interference pattern would make the most sense to me. Whether that is composed of 'virtual particles' or a sea-like medium that only gives rise to 'real' particles' when waves interfere with eachother, or something else and if something else, what?
