When someone refers you to something you are supposed to read it before posting again.

 

I like how in section you 4 you have an "other" category, which all the categories might as well be put in as well as they have little neurological basis.

 

What you have proposed isn't a theory it is a hypothesis, theory has a specific defined meaning in science and people should get around to learning it.

Right, I get your point. It is a hypothesis not a theory.The link he directed me to kind of says that so I need to keep improving my hypothesis and that the list of axioms I list will increase in an attempt to explain more examples of human decisions. Resistance is futile?!

Can the theory be feasible?

Humans typically brand themselves as illogical and so is their decisions, but I have a theory that could well explain our thinking process, and (perhaps) enable a breakthrough in the creation of human-like computer programmes.

Okay,I'll try to skim it down to the basic rules of the algorithm:

1.The human decision-making algorithm is based on aninput-process-output basis.

2.Input includes present-time data from the environment and storedmemories. Output is the decision.

3.The algorithm is divided into four parts, the first is primary,following second and third is auxillary, fourth is special.

4.First, survival. This is divided into Need to Live (Maintaining continuity) and Pride (Respect for the ability to live). They arefurther divided into "Self", "Other", and"Human".

5.Next, material. This part controls the value of each category.

6.The value of self pride is always in a equilibrium. When there is aheightening in self pride, Material will adjust to lower the pridewith the same degree. Think of it as a straight line; when there isheightening (someone praises you) a wave is formed. After the peak,the wave will proceed downwards to return to its original line, andvice versa for lowering of pride.

7.Emotional is next. It directs Material to the required categories bysingling out the ones that are needed to process a decision.

8.Last is Emotions. Emotions heighten or lower pride based on theircategories: Positive (Anger, Joy, Proud), and Negative (Frustation,Grief, Regret). Positive heightens; Negtive lowers.

9.All values are determined in numbers. A higher numeric value means higher importance.

There is something wrong with it but I can't pin down what it is.

Based on this theory, I predict a person is hesitant about a decision is because the values that the "Material" provides is the same and that invoking an emotion can cause the person to make an decision unhesitantly because emotions affect the value of the "category".

What you have is the restriction of a quadratic form on 3-space to the two-dimensional subspace determined by the variables x and y. This is a rather unusual notion.

 

Quadratic forms are expressions of space?

So when people speak of light, they don't mean speed of photons, but the speed of propagation of light? This clears up a lot! Thanks, swansont.

Light is slowed down by anything, glass, diamond and even air. It probably just can't be sped up.

I thought the "speed of light being slowed down"-thing is because of the delay in between the absorption of light photons and their release by the particles, and the the speed of light in between transfer is still c, only the total speed is a little smaller....

We can do the same by determining the eccentricity of the conic using the conventional method...but the matrix method conveys it much easily

It doesn't really represent anything. Are those supposed to be multiplied together? Are we talking dot multiplication? Even that only makes sense if there are the same amount of rows on the left as columns on the right of the dot.

 

edit Okay, it occurs to me that you might have meant

[math]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} x&y&1 \end{array} \right] \cdot \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} a&b&c\\d&e&f\\k&m&n \end{array} \right] \cdot \left[ \begin{array}{c} x\\y\\1 \end{array} \right] [/math]

 

Which does indeed expand to the expression in the OP. In which case, no name, just a very obscure and typo ridden way of writing the general form of a two variable polynomial of degree two.

 

It doesn't represent an equation. It's an expression. Equations have equals in them.

Yes I did. Sorry I missed out an element. So basically it can be used to represent various conics...but I see that the normal way is much simpler and less fussier. I actually done a differentiation operation of it by expanding it but I don't think it has much use anyway.

There are three matrices there. Three. THREE.

Sorry. It should be matrices. So it doesn't, collectively, have a name? I can see that it represents the equation of a curve.

Does the matrix[latex]\left[ \begin{array}{cc} x&y \end{array} \right][/latex][latex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} a&b&c\\d&e&f\\k&m&n \end{array} \right][/latex][latex]\left[ \begin{array}{c} x\\y\\1 \end{array} \right][/latex] has a name?

I believe it opens to become [latex]{a{x^2}+e{y^2}+(b+d){xy}+(k+c){x}+(f+m){y}+n}[/latex]

Thanks.

In free space, no. They will pass right through each other.

So the momentum of both light streams will not affect one another?

In what cases would the light streams not pass through each other?

If two light streams of different strength (in terms of photons per second, same wavelength) meet diagonally, will the smaller light stream be absorbed into the larger light stream? Will their directions change?

Yeah, i'm trying to ask why...because a book I read told me that and it didn't explain why. Would the following perception be correct? An empty space and time field is before you. To maintain the speed of light as a constant, the field stays in tension. When you introduces a significantly large piece of mass/energy, the field is affect. The speed of light is still relative to space and time, and space warps to balance the shift and transfers more motion through space into motion through time.

How does mass and energy warp space and time?

If electrons have wave and particle like properties, wouldn't it be a form of energy? electric, perhaps? But it has mass, why?? Does light have mass?

If I heat an atom, would the entire atom self-vibrate or only the electron cloud would vibrate on it's own, indirectly causing the nucleus to move in accordance of the third law of motion??

If electrons exist as standing waves in an atom, how:

1)is the region of probability denity stay fixed?

2)does the electron not crash into the nucleus?

3)does the overall energy of the atom stay fixed?

4)Newtonian physics fail in explaining atomic mechanics?

Thanks! Light is a very complicated substance.

In principle the light would bounce around for a long time, getting slightly redder with each bounce to conserve momentum and energy, until you reached thermal equilibrium. (At some point the sphere would not be able to support the wavelength shift anymore, which is an interesting situation; I suspect you'd just have a standing wave at that point. otherwise you would get a broadening of the spectrum due to thermal motion of the surface)

 

Even with no change in wavelength, the light would not easily couple back into the fiber, except under certain circumstances. Light leaving the fiber diffracts, and would not automatically bounce back into the fiber. Eventually it would; the signal would tend to decrease in intensity and it would take a longer time to get the light out.

 

Yes, you can use this concept to store light for a small amount of time. In practical terms though this is still a short amount of time, unless the ball is huge.

What is a standing wave and what properties does it have?

Light is a electromagnetic wave? How do you control the direction of radio waves?

If rust is basically Fe3O4-nH20, would it possible to strip it of water with conc. sulphuric acid? Would the result be magnetite?

Also, after the top procedure, if I use carbon to react with the product, would it yield iron?

So...basically it would work, in a partial vacuum and with absolute reflective materials. Can light direction be altered by means of magnetic forces?

Picture a sphere, the outer and inner shell are made of absolute reflective materials, with a fiber optic wire at one point on the sphere. It has a "stopcock" to stop the transmit of light into the sphere. If I send in light signals into the mirror-walled sphere through the wire, and close the stop cock after one minute, would:

1)The light signal continue reflecting in the sphere forever, provided that there is no outside influence, and the reflective material has absolute reflectivity, no light is absorbed?

2)The light signal be the same if I let it out through the fiber optic again?

3)I be able to store light?

ah, so magnetism is not linked to gravitation. What are paramagnetic and diamagnetic particles?

really? the experiments have been made?
