Why do i get this feeling of thread gonna end up locked

Tamago · 10-14-2009, 08:38 PM

the laws of physics are physics as they exist in THE REAL WORLD. and in the real world we have to fight friction.

Meh, I dont quite agree with this statement. Ever heard of a photon of light? Which, I believe is right up the alley for light travel :) Well, not actually. In theory you are right, because nothing can travel AT c. Things can only travel slower or faster. And only two ways to get faster. Turn into a photon of light and go past the barrier, then transform back into molecules. Or go the long way around. Which, is even harder to imagine than something turning into a photon of light and then back into a something. lol I hate the special theory of relativity :(

And as far as perpetual, thermal energy FTW

what happens when the sun goes down?

I said thermal, not solar. So... it gets dark when the sun goes down. The earths core will still be hot.

How about this... GEO-thermal. Just to calm any confusion.

Because of the Dynamo Theory :)

Which is the formula that attempts to describe accurately the rotation of the iron in the outer layers of the earth's core

And no, I'm not trying to pretend to know what the hell I'm talking about. Its just that my physics class happens to be covering all these subjects, and I'm lookin at it in my lap :)

Yeah, it takes one hell of an imagination lol

Every college student taking physics knows about what I refer to as a daisy wheel (I have lost the name, again!). It is good for a fair amount of power, generates no heat, but is by no means perpetual motion, nor is it all that efficient, but it works. I built one decades ago, and it ran a bicycle generator on about a 12" diameter. This wheel was first recorded ~400 years ago, and can be boilt to work. My final version was going to use bowling balls for power...

Bump.

Just bump?

Ok, I'm gonna really mess with everyone's heads.

Einstein was wrong. Not really through his own fault, but the old observable parts of science only go so far. Even with all the technology we have today, most of what is going on is still unobservable.

Just ask the nearest scientist. At this point it's dark matter, or Anti matter, that fills up about 80% or more of the universe...

Right... That makes so much sense.

Human science is in its infancy. We can make tons of observations, but we really cannot explain why.

One good example. We know what gravity does, but we don't know where it comes from. Our known parameters simply cannot explain the effects we give it.

What you get from the few times real scientists are actually intellectually honest is that we simply don't have a clue. All the crazy theories of everything, all the stuff we do, it works, but we simply can't explain why.

And when it doesn't work? It gets forgotten.

And as long as governments hand out checks to any scientist who will say what they want, real science isn't going to get done.
