  1. I'm still considering the wave mechanics of the standard model. You can't have an equilibrium between no energy and something else to get no energy, but scientists didn't use that to cool atoms down to form bose-einstein condensation, they did a series of other things such as using magnetic fields and lasers tuned to the same frequency in a system of multiple particles. At that point, the atoms are in their lowest energy state that's been discovered so far. But, the reason that a substance can't be at 0K is because the waves of the atoms would all have the same properties making them violate impenetrability. But also, even when an electron is a wave, charge still matters. It's still a thing. An electron doesn't fall into the nucleus though because its a wave which has its existence in specific areas. It's not to say the charge of particles don't matter. In protons and neutrons, even though they are waves and I think entangled, they still have color charge to attract each other and that changes with each individual quark. People have gotten substances to be one billionth of a degree above absolute zero/0K and won the Nobel prize for it. I think it was bose-einstein condensation oddly enough.
  2. But the energy is what's being more precisely determined. 1/1,000,000,000 of a degree above absolute zero is pretty determined.

    Time

    In contemporary physics, is time suppose to exist as an actual thing, or is it just a system of periodically measuring things? Because all those equations with time only assume time is true, which hasn't been proven to be a thing that actually exists as something.
  4. Dang, all those people got into all those arguments about what the big bang could possibly be all over nothing...
  5. Well there are definitely telescopes which can pick up gamma rays from space. And observationally, the very powerful ones usually coincide with gamma-ray bursts or quasars.
  6. Changes in your brain happen all the time according to your behaviors, habits and how you deal with situations. In your brain, all the neurons are connected in some way, whether its directly or through a chain of other neurons. When a signal is generated by a single neuron, it sends it to other neurons in the same part of the brain which have their specific capacities and memories stored. So depending on the decision you make, your brain will re-wire itself to better connect with different things to make it more easy for a behavior pattern to happen. If a neuron re-wires from another neuron, then it's possible that the signal from the original neuron now has to travel though 10 other neurons rather then just directly to it. All your experiences connect your neurons in specific ways to each other.

    Time

    Ok, here's a scenario where time doesn't need to apply: Time dilation: I take one watch, put it way high in the exosphere of Earth, and one on the surface. One watch ticks faster than the other. I can explain this as it takes less energy for the hands on the watches to complete a ticking motion further from the surface than away since gravity is stronger the closer you get to the source. From what it seems, time is just a periodic and mathematical measurement to better establish patterns.
  8. I guess a strong supernova could generate some, they aren't perfectly cemetrical. Though its honestly pretty astounding that a tiny piece of matter than you can't even see can hit you with a force of a baseball bat traveling 96 miles per hour. No wonder people get cancer.
  9. Just to clear it up, this is your own theory right? Because even Stephen Hawking said wormholes/places where black holes and white holes meet don't exist. Even the jets taking a sudden turn in direction could be the result of magnetic fields pulling it back as the matter loses energy to the vacuum of space. Also, its pretty well established that jets are caused by matter compressing and then being forced outward.
  10. But where does uncertainty get the energy from in an undetermined particle? The energy is more precisely determined, so the position is that much less determined, but still, where does the electron all of a sudden get the energy to suddenly appear at the next energy level?
  11. It involves people's own opinions/"feelings", so no all the things in here can be considered scientific consensus.

  13. The ground state of an electric still has energy, but is it actually thermal energy if nothing about it and the atom is changing? Basically, heat is caused by infra-red photons with energy being carried across substances from electron to electron. So if an atom is at the lowest energy state (not 0K, but near it), and with matter being quantized, an electron shouldn't ever jump any energy level which means no photons if its undisturbed. Also if all the particles in the system got to the same 0 energy state, wouldn't that violate impenetrability? Maybe that's a more accurate reason why 0K doesn't occur. There would always be forces resisting the particles from occupying the same space of 0 energy.

    Time

    How come at any moment in my life I could replace the word "time" with something like "per 100 swings of a pendulum"? How come I can describe a system as matter needing more or less energy to cause the specific circumstances that appear as "time slowing down" instead of time? Unless time is just a logical description, which isn't reality, but is just describing a pattern in reality. Or better yet, its just a system to better see patterns.
  15. As far as I know, its a particle that can enter and leave visual reality. Or that it lasts in appears and disappears in space.
  16. The light emitted is the result of the fact that the inner layers of the star is collapsing, but it produces a very big shock wave in the outer layers since its the resistance the electro-magnetic force, which by ratio is stronger than gravity, but the shockwave is traveling outward from the core and the gravity is too strong. At that point, if the star is massive enough, there is no known force which stops the star from collapsing to a point where it has an escape velocity greater than light. In the process of shrinking, matter sort of undergoes some phases. There's the phase where the atoms get very close to together and start to repel, and then, there's the point where they get even closer together so that electrons and protons fuse into neutrons, but gravity is too strong, so the neutrons compress into some new substance which we don't really know anything about, and continues shrinking into a singularity.
  17. Because then they would be occupying the same space meaning they wouldn't actually ever exist in the same place, or as I showed, their waves would cancel out. When the electron passes through two slits in the double slit experiment, the high point in the wave crest meets the troff, or lowest point simultaneously, so it cancels out there and forms a wave pattern since the wave points are "adding" together. 1 + -1 = 0.
  18. I don't know exactly what it is, but from what I can derive it sounds like how the poles of an electron or proton are oriented or the way its actually spinning. Someone else care to explain?
  19. There actually might be 7 states of matter. One comes from the neutronium predicted to be in neutron stars, comprised of tightly pact matter and neutrons, and then the last one is the matter past that state, which forms a singularity.
  20. That's what I keep thinking too, but since the big bang was the expansion of space itself, that would require it to expand at infinite speed to occupy infinite positions which for some reason isn't what astronomers are saying, even though what seems to be increasing in speed is matter.
  21. So your saying even if there was 0 thermal energy or heat, there would still be the potential energy of other things like magnetic fields and forces and other properties? But then again, if the electrons have no energy, what possible shape of a cloud they could take? Cause here's what an equation would look like: 0s^1 which would be 0. The electron's shape would have 0 volume wouldn't it? You can't really do an Cartesian angle measurements to make a cloud shape from 0 can you?
  22. Well in that case, that's how matter formed around it and encircled around it in the black hole. There's an axis in which matter spun around and collected on, but matter could still be in other places besides that axis.
  23. But since energy is quantized, wouldn't iron with nothing about it changing in a vacuum of space so that it gets to the lowest possible energy state in space, wouldn't it eventually get to a point where it doesn't emit any form of heat? If the electrons aren't changing states, when would they even emit light? Also, wouldn't matter with the presence of no radiation emit all its energy under that circumstance?

  25. Hmm, unless its being accelerated, I don't think so. But I guess, there may be some very small effect from the cosmic background radiation and larger effects from cosmic rays. But if nothing about the iron changes as its speed or energy level or the electron configuration, there's no reason to emit light as far as I know. Otherwise it would just emit all of its energy, but thats not possible for any matter to have 0 energy unless its no longer matter.
