He must have heard you Timo. I understand he's working at McDonalds; and happy as a lark!!

I'm not sure but I would think that ball bearings are not exactly made of the best metals for making magnets. I know you can indeed buy spherical magnets, not to mention about every other shape. If I was going to do it I'd make a very strong DC electromagnet and heat the ball bearing to red heat and let it cool inside the magnetic field.

 

In the Earth currents of molten metal create the electrical fields, it's not like a permanent magnet.

If, after four and a half billion years of being a satellite to our sun; can't we get around to calling the earth permanent?

I don't know too much about global warming, but barring another Pinatubo, Krakatau, Mt. St. Helens and Vesuvius all erupting at the same time, I really have to give Al Gore a little credit. A thing like this can get close to your heart. This Oil spill! Plus the new coal burning mills, factories and power plants going up throughout the world, except here in the states makes me wonder?

Oil Spill!

Was questioning Google on the possibility of permanently magnetizing a "ball bearing"? Since this question isn't new, I searched through four or five pages of answers and never come across anything substantive, but did see some gimmicks. Can it be done? Never tried it, but I don't think so. Yet, with five hundred miles of molten iron at the core of our planet and it's polarized, "How"?

Bar code?? Touche!, Phi. But yu' gotta be careful. Some of us out there still don't rely "totally" on welfare.

Our judicial and penal systems are so passé in this country that nothing will make a dent in drug traffiking other than absolution to include the Catholic version of: "Last Rites". And this, to both the offender, and the offender. Same thing should apply to Rapist, Habitual Thieves and Murderers. Don't get me wrong folks, this is only a thought? But our prisons are overrun and have simply become Rest Havens, "Snicker Joints" and a place for criminals to convalesce, while getting ready to commit more crime; and at our expense.

However, simple speculation almost demands there be something more powerful out there, than what we see as a universe.

What would you consider Quantum teleportation of today to be?

Moontan, are you a Trekkie? And you're right about the phrase. I too, don't believe Inst Trans Tel was ever used on the program. As the moderator said: Try sticking to facts or at least feasible questions.

When asked by Time Magazine in 1994, "How do the Heisenberg compensators work?" Mike Okuda famously replied, "They work just fine, thank you." But remember; The Heisenberg compensator started originally as a joke put on the transporter console in TNG.

Almost verbatim, from a "STAR TREK" episode some years back. I can't remember exactly when, but Capt. Kirk was on a planet and asked Scotty to "beam him up" to the Star Ship Enterprise. The transfer was referred to as: instantaneous trancendental teleportation? Not to be factitious, but yes, I do believe such a thing is possible.

Wrote this for a daughter being asked to present an essay conserning present day problems. I can explain?

Great stones await, swords clash and grate,

for those who would cross this moat.

Yet!, hark in the "still, see" those who would will me,

a cut to my aged throat??

Joe Arpaio, head police Honcho in Maricopa County, Arizona; has the best word to be used on a guy like this who steals your stuff. He calls them an "Inmate". Hope they catch the "crud"

Fuzzwood, I'm about ready to sick... the "Tooth Fairy" on you. Anyway, who says I'm a scientist?

There is huge difference between BELIEVE & KNOW, Edtharan. I can fantasize ("believe") that the universe is huge ice-cream cone, but I don't factually ("know") it for sure? Ditto for Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too.

Exactly what is instantaneous trancendental teleportation?

Ok! Moon-tan guy, you've snookered me again. But I simply like the expression, which I'm sure you're becoming accustomed to by now. Seriously though, I believe nature has been using this protocol since the first day of creation. But since there's no way to prove it, I don't want to get locked up in a "Loony Bin" just for thinking it. If I can get some serious questions and be able to answer them without feeling like the village idiot, I just might share these thoughts? Have a good one!!

Why Theo? No one seems to be afraid of making obtrusive annotations belying what may even have a ring of truth to it??

If scientists are actually looking at black holes and worm holes as a means of moving from one galaxy or dimension to another; why not consider the act of instantaneous trancendental teleportation? I like the name and the idea, but unfortunately; we really don't know too much about it at the moment, even though nature in my opinion; has been doing it for billions of years.

You've got me!! I don't have three weeks in, and even if I did; radicalism is not my best forte. I'll just hang around 'til you relent. Eventually you will let me in on the forum, right? Just kidding. But I'd like to be here 'til the cows come home. It's fun!!

You may have missed my thoughts completely Lad. I'm not a kid looking for consternation, just an old Dude hoping to find some quick answered to my life long questions??

I've been trying to get into the "Religious forum" and it keeps kicking me out. As I understand, it should be automatic when you reach a specific level?

I'm no fanatic and have no axe to grind, but can I legitimately access this forum to express some simple thoughts?

If we can eventually get our pathological disorders and telepathic ideas on the same track, no sweat.

Been there and having done that probably a hundred times, the "Straw Man" always wins. As you say, being controversial just for the sake of being different is not the norm. I'm seventy eight years young and have worked an entire life time making a comfortable living for myself and family. So, unfortunately I haven't the time nor the resource to go out and spend $20,000.00 + on books to disprove or refute a theory. My greatest fear is to eventually see 6 or 8 Phds digging a ditch, and the Dude supervising the job, is actually a bona fide "Ditch Digger".

I really didn't mean to open a can of worms. But my sympathy goes more to those who have never felt frustration or pain. This guy is hurting. The ambiance of your intellect should allow you to read his "screams", turn a page and go on. Only the sadness of his thoughts, not his words; disturbed me.

I get your point Swansont. If science wasn't such a hard game, one trip to Vegas would make any of us rich? In all seriousness though, when we cut laws into stone with no recourse to question?, they had best be beyond reproach! Otherwise, it's a cote for the docile.

Hey!, I wasn't trying to throw any of these esteemed gentlemen under the bus. The mumbo-jumbo thing was just to get someones attention. And me? I have a problem making change for a dollar. All I'm asking is; if gravity is holding my body together, keeping me elastic and bolted to the ground, while also maintaining a decent solar system and galaxy, why are we having so much trouble explaining this runaway train wreck our universe is experiencing?
