US spend massive and massive about of money on cancer research compared to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Taiwan?
I suppose thalidomide would be the classic example of why the FDA is so tough, but there are others such as hexachlorophene toothpaste.

The air gap Your subject is best approached from a Technician engineer level, not advanced physics like Maxwell. Here is an extract from the best technician testbook I know which shows quite clearly enough how an airgap can increase the inductance of a winding. I have starred the importance sections.

Even if you didn't want to reply to my earlier comment, Please, Please, Please don't tell me you want medics to test new drugs and treatments on people the way IT firms fail to test properly on their customers. Or would you like they medics put out a half working drug, like a half working operating system ?

Yes this new demo appears much closer to the circuit diagram you drew. As swansont (congrats by the way for scoring the winning goal in the olympics today 😀) has already said So what exact question are you asking ?

As with all statistics bandied about, especially by journalists, one must learn to interpret them with a critical eye. Firstly the question of the population base at the beginning and end of the sampling decade. Is this the same ? Secondly have there been any unusual interfering events during that decade? The answer to the first is no, the populationat the start and finish are not the same as medicine attempts more and more difficult ancer conditions. The answer to the second is that the decade 2014 to 2024 included the covid years which considerably distorts the data for most treatments.

What is Space made of?
I've been away again but here is a quick answer. Sorry I should have corrected the use of the word surface to hypersurface since we are talking about ll manner of dimensionality, including beyond 3. I amt talking about causality, which is a physical property, not a mathematical one. I am warning about loss/restriction of information when you choose a subspace or manifold to work in. For instance The is no such thing as a tangent (at any one point) to a curve or derivative of a function in one dimension. There is only one tangent to a curve (at any one point) or derivative in two dimensions. When we get to three dimensions we have to ask the question "Which Tangent ?" and "Which Direction ?" since there is an infinity of tangents and the derivative becomes a directionsal derivative. So we can happily take a plane as a subspace of a solid, so long as we work only in that plane.

Thanks to those who liked my input. Considering the instructions as to the purpose of the Religous section of ScienceForums I thought that some might have an interest in my sources. Anyway here is a book that attempts proper scientific evaluation of some of the stories in the Bible, including on site investigation, analyses and references.

You posted a circuit diagram which is a standard language for engineers (and others) in this discipline. Two coils arranged against three solid lines has a specific meaning. If you don't know about this, we are happy to help, but that just as everyone must use the same meaning for yes, no, red, black and so on in (written) English in order to communicate everyone must use the same standard symbols in circuit schematics . I am well aware that magnetic amplifiers are not transformers and do not require a lecture on the subject. If your device has two coils and an iron core and is being used in some other manner than a transformer, please show what is actually meant. Yet you express suprise that a DC motor will run on AC. A series wound DC motor will run on AC A shunt wound motor will not and may be damaged. I can't tell what sort of motor it is from the videos. But I do know that it is not a transformer. I saw whatever was on the videos in your link, and yes I saw two motors. But motors do not have primary and secondary windings. I did not see any transformers. The way forward is to take one circuit or configuration at a time and analyse it, not jump around between several different ones.

Physical Atom Structure
Unfortunately for your claim the recent discoveries around submarine hydrothermal vents concerning sulphur based life would suggest otherwise. In 1823 German Botanist G Ehrenburg published a paper "Symbolae Physicae", explaining Manna as a secretion of the Tamarix Mannifera, which grows around Mt Sinai. In 1927 Bodenheimer and Theodor led a scientific expedition to the ara and studied firther, producing the first photgraphes of the Manna. +1 to the Americans

What is Space made of?
No the t or ct axis has the same extent as the other axes. However raising the subject of surfaces is important and I don't think I properly brought it out in my last post. If you have a volume it is either finite or infinite. If finite it has surface(s) A finite volume such as the crystal lattice in my earlier example has a particular surface. If you introduce a crack then the volume doesn't change but the surface increases. This increase requires energy. So a space not only possesses volume but also surface area.

What is Space made of?
Other uses of the word 'space' give thought. The absence of something that could be or should be there. So interstitial space can form a container space for atoms or ions in a lattice. In fact if there is a lattice atom missed out then we have a lattice space and perhaps a screw dislocation. Or if we have a crack in the lattice we have a griffiths weakness which may or may not propagate to a large space/weakness. Depending upon the shape of the space further lattice damage may be promoted or resisted. A cation is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons. The cation takes up less space than the parent atom. Sometimes things are not always there. For instance a passing ray (photon) may hit (interact with) a bound electron. Or it may miss it since the electron is not always 'there'. So what is in the space where the electron is sometimes ? A forest fire needs two things. Air and a forest. A gap (firebreak) in the forest is, well space, and prevents a fire spreading. The Karman line conventionally marks the division between the atmousphere and 'Space'.

Your circuit diagram posted here shows an iron cored transformer ? Do you know the difference between a universal motor and a motor ?

Yes indeed, but more than that, the higgs field is the gage field that supports the higgs boson which is the particle that is responsible for mass. Higgs didn't invent the idea that was originally due to Nambu (1957) who showed how the mass gain of cooper pairs in superconductivity are a result of a symmetry breaking mechanism. Higgs applied this to his new field to derive the mass boson.

What is Space made of?
I'm banging on about 'empty space' for a reason. Back along Mordred mentioned symmetry breaking and I mentioned Higgs and the Principle of Least Energy. This is because using our best standard model equations Higgs' great insight was to show that 'empty space' is in an energetically higher state than space permeated by what we now call the Higgs Field ie non empty. It would seem that Nature does indeed abhor a true vacuum.

As any microwave user knows, sugar also gets hot. Sogar softens at around 110oC, is melted around 135oC and burns at around 170oC.

Since we don't live in an Anne McAffrey 'Pern' universe and space is what lies between things, why is that space not 'unoccupied' ?

-
What is Space made of?
Are you suggesting that you cannot have unoccupied space ? I think a good question to consider is " Is there any (detectable) difference between occupied and unoccupied space ?" Another good one is the Principle of Least Energy, which appears to be in force at all scales and is the justification for Higgs Theory at the smallest.

Yes but conditions in a working microwave oven are not those of thermodynamic equilibrium.

Ok so physics used to be fun and here is an old fashioned experiment we did at school. Elihu's Exeriment is particularly fun. These should help with understanding transformers and what happens when you remove the keepr or I part from the Es and Is frame. I note that this is still a legitimate experiment in some places.

Thank I was not criticising your website or its presentation, just commenting on the physics. Thank you for offering further thoughts. This may help us bridge the gap between your ideas and conventional ones. In the original linked videos you mention but I could not see the capacitor. The later video doesn't mention it or show it. In the circuit diagram above the capacitor is in series with a transformer and a motor (and the mains supply). Consequently the entire supplied current must pass through this capacitor. Hopefully it is rated for these currents. In the original vids a current of around 2 amps is mentioned. The later vid has around 5 amps, reducing to 4. something when you add series inductance via the second motor. This is to be expected and shows that it is inductance, not resistance which controls the current. As regards power your metering is not set up to show the change in phase angle between voltage and current, as additional circuitry is added. Showing this would be enlightening for all concerned. I do not see any scope for mutual inductance between the two motors in the last video. Mutual inductance is, of course, a way to get field line interaction.
