Does our moon affect Earth's core
Thanks beecee, nice one. +1 Do you know if the 'waterfall' is the result of a step in the bed or is just in the water, looks like a bit like hydraulic jump to me. In fact it seems to be more like the effect you get pouring a bucket of water into a bath of water. https://parks.dpaw.wa.gov.au/park/lalang-garram-horizontal-falls

Looks very similar to the description by Alan Turing in his essay "Can a Machine think ?"

Why would spheres be in pyrite matrix?
Perhaps the organic parts come from decayed fossils from this process http://preparation.paleo.amnh.org/56/pyrite-disease https://www.zoicpalaeotech.co.uk/pages/pyritefossils

A good place to start looking for information is this book - 700 + pages of wisdom. Chapter 2 is dedicated to your tidal question.

Number theory derivation from infinity; speculations on equations that are derived in terms of the Field
If you are not going to take the discussion seriously, you will need to find another to continue the discussion with.

Number theory derivation from infinity; speculations on equations that are derived in terms of the Field
Please elaborate on what you mean by these statements, since they are not mathematical ones I recognise. Note mathematical statements need not be symbolic, English is perfectly good. Please pay particular attention to what you mean by 'derivation' and 'set'. I seen no point worrying about the rest of the material in your post until the basics are cleared up.

Computations of a cell or solution potentials
I've not seen that method of mass accounting before, well done for spotting the issue and presenting it. +1 However perhaps you should explain the meaning of your square brackets, some may have difficulty working it out for themselves.

Of course they are, that is how the water body moves up and down to support the vertical movement of the water/air interface. Of course they are not the only source of water movement.

Number theory derivation from infinity; speculations on equations that are derived in terms of the Field
Let me repeat a previous post. OK so to continue with the Mathematics, though Euler also had much to do with applied maths. Princeton University has been home to some of the greatest geniuses in History. They also have a small publishing house which publishes specialist topic books, most of which become standards in their field (see another use of the word field ?). I am recommending one about Euler and his constant, gamma to you as you should find much of interest in it. Most of the book is lightly mathematical to be more generally accessible but read the introduction here and see what you think.

You chose to quote the vertical deflection, yet the horizontal deflection can be from a few to hundreds of kilometres. People always forget tidal streams.

I suppose they both depend where you live. We have 30 metre sea tides where I live.

Does our moon affect Earth's core
It should be possible to make a reasonable estimate of the loss of rotational kinetic energy, which as Moon says, must be degraded to heat. It has been possible to detect 'earth tides' in the crust, but the deflections are tiny compared to the deflections of the water covering (oceans) and energy depends upon the square of the deflection amplitude. So deflection of the liquids in the outer core will also be greater than those in the more solid crust and mantle and of course the inner core. The outer core will generate much friction as it rubs between the undermantle and the inner core. We now have believable models of the (rate of) heat transfer between the various layer of the Earth that can be applied.

Does modern physics support solipsism?
Out of interest I looked up the word solipsism in the Oxford English Dictionary. Physics, and not only modern Physics but also classical Physics uses the term isolation or isolated extensively. So in that sense it must support solipsism. But this whole thing is a philosophical/semantic argument as you have not fully defined your use of the term solipsism and its limits.

Does modern physics support solipsism?
Swansont is far far more qualified than I am to pronounce on the relationship between physics and solipsism. He is a working professional Physicist, whilst I am a retired applied mathematician. Perhaps that is why he is less sympathetic towards philosophy than I am. And I regard this as a philosophical question, not a physics one. Perhaps this question should be moved to philosophy.

Interesting topic and photos. +1 Thanks for the article. +1

Does modern physics support solipsism?
Seems to me that you have combined two mutually exclusive ideas to produce a self contradictory question. If solipsism is true there there can be no Physics, modern or otherwise. Further I wonder why you are asking other 'selves' ? Surely the doctrine that nothing exists or can exist other than one's self automatically denies the existence of other 'selves' and other doctrines ?

Forces
Looking forward to the next installment ! +1 I would observe that density is important because there is an unaccounted for force acting here - gravity. We should not losse sight of that in the discussion about central forces. But you are correct that using pressure would be more appropriate since this is a fluids calculation. I hesitate to use the term pseudo-force, since a force is a vector and there is something called a pseudovector which is a horse of a different colour alltogether, which is definitely not non-real. Centrifugal force could be called virtual or imaginary, since it is introduced by the analyst to aid calculation (and perhaps visualisation). Virtual may be too general. Imaginary might be confused with complex numbers. The point is that it does not exist.

Thanks but I don't have the petrol to spare these days. Surely someone in the industry might know this. Seth and Exchemist were both in petrochem industries.

Speculative ideas on how the Universe may work.
1) Neither are forces. 2) The evidence for each is quite separate and independent of the evidence for the other, as are the effects they describe. 3) Read Frank Wilczek, it will help a lot.

Speculative ideas on how the Universe may work.
I watched your video, should it have sound ? I didn't hear any. Your weak magnetic field seems to lack any technical definition/description and I couldn't see items (for instance charges A and B ) that were referenced in the accompanying text. In general it seems to require the introduction of entities and dimensions we have no access to and rather than unifying dark matter and dark energy (which are entirely different phenomena) it introduces yet more 'magic media' currently beyond our ken. There are only a few frames and ideas. I'm sure you could summarise them here for discussion. A suggestion for you. Read Frank Wilczek's just published book Fundamentals : ten keys to reality. As an educated engineer you should find it easy reading and Frank does have the knack of bringing most, if not all, your disparate topics together very simply and cogently.

I have been trying to find the density of the detergent powder particles themselves, before attempting an explanation. Unfortunately all I can find is lots of information on the bulk density of the powder, which includes the voids. Clearly I can't directly measure this by a displacement method, as the particles are soluble! So if anyone can help with this I would be grateful as it is the density of the particles (relative to the liquid) that determines what they do. Any object following a curved path (ie non straight) is not in equilibrium - that is it has a net force acting on it, even if its speed is constant. This net force is called the centripetal force, which is a real force that must be supplied by some agent, eg the rope tied to block swung around your head. D'Alambert invented a system of reducing such systems to equilibrium by applying an imaginary force opposing the real net force, thus allowing the equations of equilibrium to be used. This imaginary force is called the centrifugal force. It should be noted that the motion is at right angles to the resultant of the real and imaginary force and is the direction the object will travel if either is removed eg by cutting the rope. That is the object will fly off tangentially, not radially. So there is nothing forcing partcles radially outwards. These systems are called 'central forces' and are often analysed by accelerations, rather than forces directly.

Number theory derivation from infinity; speculations on equations that are derived in terms of the Field
You are going to be a lot more precise to make any headway. What is "the Natural/Real set" ? And what properties do the members of 'the set of square roots of prime numbers enjoy' that have already been proven ?

Help identifying a chemical compund
What might throw some light on your question would be for you to tell us about your printing process. (No trade secrets required. Just is is water bases, oil based or what. Silanes are chemical compounds that penetrate fine cracks in ceramic materials to repel water. Glass surfaces are not as smooth at the microscopic level as you might think and have microcracks. We used to use silanes to do something similar in concrete.

On top of what @joigus said so clearly (+ 1), You have to delve much deeper into the philosophy of Mathematics beofre you can start using symbols such a = ; + ; n+1 and so on. Consider. Until you have defined what a number is how can you define addition ? So how can you give meaning to n + 1 in the definition of a number ? Note in Mathematics defining means loosely 'give meaning to' .
