New Theories / Simulated Time Travel

« on: 01/11/2018 20:43:18 »

Imagine we computer-simulate the present now to it's finest of detail. All reality simulated, including all people, our planet, atoms... everything! Cause & Effect. Simulate every possible cause / action and see every possible outcome / effect?

A time machine that enables us to see into the past and future.

Future:
Go over the street now or wait till the lights are actually green? Such an simulation can skip forward in time and tell if the speeding drunken idiot will kill you or everything is safe.

Realize this or that business idea? The simulation shows which of the ideas will (if) have success.

Past:
What led to the now? With the infinite parallel simulations one can try every possible cause beforehand out. Only one cause can lead to the effect of the here and now. You sit here in front of your computer reading this because of a (set of) reason(s) which I don't know of... maybe even you don't know why you are reading this but the simulation can know and that's exactly how it is possible to see back in time.

Yes, we would need an unimaginable amount of computing power and probably whole stars as energy source to power such machinery, but this is about theories, right?

Let's think without boundaries.

Technology / Re: How high and fast can an all electric aircraft fly?

« on: 07/10/2018 18:18:48 »

Electric aircraft can indeed fly very high. The Helios HP01 flew above 96,000 feet: https://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/news/FactSheets/FS-068-DFRC.html

The fastest electric aircraft is currently the Long ESA, which can reach 220 miles per hour: https://www.wired.com/2014/07/chip-yates-electric-plane-records/

@Kryptid Thanks for booth the links! I though the fastest was the last year build and flown EXTRA 330 LE. Which actually flew 210 mph. But it set a new towing record for sailplanes so them...

The thing with the Helios is... it relied on a superwide wingspan in order to generate enough lift even at these extreme high altitudes. What I would like to see is something very fast and high flying but all electric at the same time.

Just have enough thrust for VTOL capability at max. TOW .

That'll; be fun when it's windy.

@Bored chemist I believe what Professor Mega-Mind is talking about are rigid body - rigid shell airships, thats why the term heavier then air in contrast to lighter then air airship comes up. These airships in comparison to soft body - soft shell "blimps" can be designed to be structurally sound while giving sheer winds less aerodynamic resistance then current and old age airship designs. I believe a saucer shape to be one good design since it would have ist major surface area up and down. VTOL - Tech can balance up and down moving air streams but most of the weather comes from the side where the overall surface area of a saucer shape would give the wind less surface area to attack on. Making the ride in fact fun.

People inside the Hindenburg were capable of balancing a pen horizontal for hours (in standard weather conditions). Airships are incredibly stable and vibration free.

_

@Professor Mega-Mind I am all in for revolutionary technologies setting new benchmarks for whole industries. Do you have made any construction plans or at least sketches? Would love to see them.

Technology / Re: Are heavier-than-air hybrid airships a good idea?

« on: 07/10/2018 14:24:39 »

I hope so...

I would love to see them again. I especially like the heavier-than-air approach making them less prone to wind sheer as these flying giants were really dependent on good weather. These airships filled with a lighter then air gas would be really expensive tough.. Hydrogen is a huge Nono... no matter then safety precautions no-one does wan't so see something flying again what essentially is a flying bomb. Helium is good enough and offers just marginal less lift. But one has to count in that Helium is a very finite resource dependent on radio active alpha decay which needs millions over millions of years to be created in useful ammounts! Our Helium is about to come to an end and we need it more for clinical and industrial use cases then we do so for something flying. (tough I love everything flying). Tough I do believe that helium asteroid / moon mining becomes a thing before we run out of it.

Let's put the scarcity of Helium aside for a moment. Let's see the lifting power of a 100 meter diameter spherical balloon.

Sphere Volume = 4/3 x Pi x r3

= 4/3 x Pi x 50m3

= 4/3 x Pi x 125000

Sphere Volume = 523.598,78 m3

1m3 of Helium Lifts about 1,11 kg

523.598,78 m3 x 1,11kg = 581.194,64 kg

This quick calculation shows a 100m diameter spherical balloon can lift 581 tons. Thats the very extreme dry weight of course! One has to subtract any weight used for construction.  To comparison: A Containership usually carries around 1000 containers filled with 15.000 - 18.000 tons. The largest ones are able to carry up to 25.000 tons!

Even tough our Airship would only be able to carry a very marginal amount of something in comparison to our naval brothers the Airship would be about +3 times faster and can overfly water and land. Directly leave cargo where it's needed, a huge logistical win!

For cargo a good Idea? I actually believe yes! We could even build way larger Airships making them even more commercial. And such a large Airship delivers more then enough space for solar cells. Flying over the clouds with near maximum sun irradiation one would be completely self sustaining!

Also a good Idea for people? Not so much.. Way too slow. One can easily travel by plane and is +20 times faster then one inside an Airship no matter how innovative the propulsion system. A huge Airship has literally tons of drag one has to overcome in the first place.

But for the super rich? Well multi billion dollar yachts are a thing, so why not flying ones? I would certainly buy a flying mansion if I would have the money. A wonder none have been made yet. I have to do some other stuff beforehand but in some years from now I will take this challenge on for sure! (actually the reason why I answer on this topic, as this is cargo and yacht airship topic is of extreme interest to me)
Imagine a flying mansion with your private rooftop VTOL Aircraft Landing place... one would be a true citizen of the world!

Modify:

Now to your heavier-than-air approach. Just realized something. I wan't to give you credit for "solving" a huge problem in airship design. Counter balancing is the keyword. Whenever a passenger steps inside an airship it usually drops blast in the shape of water being thrown out. This counter balancing makes airships extremely unhandy... But when one builds an airship so it's perfectly balanced with and without payload the airship would rely solely on it's propulsion system and way less on it's lifting gas. I put "solving" in quotes because the problem has just been stated, now one has to come up with a technical solution in order to really solve it. Takes some time for me but I will find it.... Thank you.

Technology / How high and fast can an all electric aircraft fly?

« on: 07/10/2018 13:12:39 »

Hello!

Internal combustion engines of aircraft need oxygen in order to burn their fuel and produce thrust. This isn't the case for all electric aircraft which rely on electro-magnetism in order to run their motors generating thrust.

How much higher can an electric aircraft fly in comparison to an current jet powered design?

I am aware the higher one goes the thinner the air becomes. One has to fly faster in order to fly higher because of lift generation. So at which speeds and how high could and all electric (winged) aircraft fly?

Please ignore current energy density ratios of batteries or anything else and let's just concentrate on the hypothetical speeds and heights such an all electric aircraft could fly at.

I believe this topic to be high interest as all electric aircraft are not a matter of if but of when!

If you are interested in this as well and have something to say please go ahead and shoot me an answer! And to all of you guest's having something to say, go ahead and logg into an account! :-D

Looking forward to all of your answers.

Modfiy: I am aware that this topic is highly math depended. If you are an mathematician go ahead and freak it all out!

This German calculator works wonders. Just type in the different parameters and it easily calculates everything and more within seconds. I am german so it comes in handy for me...

Thermal expansion in January is 22% and in Juli 28%. Pretty cool! :-)

I can't find validation on the formula one of their members suggested:
"So if you go from 20->40 C, the pressure * volume increases by (40+273)/(20+273) or about 6%"

Is this true? Then the thermal expansion in January would be 26% and 38% in Juli. Would be cool but seems to easy! :-D

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Calculating Thermal Expansion of Air?

« on: 07/10/2018 11:41:25 »

Hello,

I would like to know how to calculate the thermal expansion / contraction of air by volume.

Please note that I am not a mathematician but more the kind of visual imaginative personality. Please try explaining it in pictures / words rather then just numbers. Do it Einstein style! ;-)

I want to calculate the followings two thermal expansions of air by volume.

One I call January is from -2,8 degree Celsius to +100 degree Celsius.

The other one Is Juli from +21,8 degree Celsius to +100 degree Celsius.

I have already researched a bit and tried my best to solve it myself but the Internet seems to be full of different formulas not really explaining it's single parts...

...Can someone help not only solving the challenges but also explaining the why?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

Even Wikipedia doesn't explain what it's single members of the formula mean.

Thanks already! :-)

Ask the author @claytaylor why he put an approx. in front of the numbers.

He isn't posting here, you are.
So it's you who need to go and ask him (or you can accept that you are wrong)
He has used numbers that fit the answer he was after, rather than answers that have aby sensible basis.
The "green" light at 547.533 nm has an amusing property.
The frequency corresponding to that wavelength has a value of 547.533 THz

But don't get excited about that having any real significance. It only works with metres and seconds. If we used inches or feet (or minutes) we would get a different "magical" number.

So, he has taken a meaningless coincidence and pretended that it supports his idea.
Incidentally, the middle of the red part of the spectrum is nearer to 690nm
And for blue light it would be about 470 to 475 nm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum#Spectral_colors

So, he's wrong on all three counts and has started with a meaningless arbitrary point.
Are you still saying this isn't bullshit?

After going trough the numbers again I give you this one. Seems I got too much into wishful thinking there and tricked by my own fandom. Still the numbers are close and you can't deny that, I guess the original author was aware of that and thats why he put up the approx in front of the numbers. Thanks for the correction. I ll go ahead and delete the picture out of the original post.

@Everyone I am only allowed to insert 12 images at a time. Even tough I count 11 in the starterpost, I can't insert any more. Thats why I just spread the visual knowledge further down here but first of another fact about time. And to the one saying the color thing is incorrect, tell me isn't color the byproduct of light? Isn't light the constant everything is measured after, since light in turn is directly linked to time, the speed of light?

Mathematically, the electron g-factor is approximately:

gfactore = -2 / sin (Ø)

and the proton g-factor is approximately:

gfactorp = 2Ø / sin (1/Ø)

 Thus it appears that the Golden Ratio, or Phi, is a constant produced by time.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) states these gfactor constants as per the table below.


timeg-factor.png (54.4 kB . 832x434 - viewed 7216 times)

OK, so the correct values are
   −2.00231930436182
give or take
0.00000000000052
and
+5.585694702
give or take
0.000000017

So your calculated values are wrong.

That's it.
End of discussion.
You have the wrong numbers.

End of discussion? Is this how folks like you discover? Don't think so..

While the phi-based approach is not exactly equal to the NIST constant, with quantum level constants, there will always be a difference between theoretical work and empirical work.  This can be due to the irregularities in the metal of the test equipment, stray background radiations, or a host of other minute causes. The results of any empirical measurement always show some degree of statistical spread as a consequence.

Such constants are adjusted as new measuring techniques and better materials become available. So any theoretical value that is within one part in a thousand has scientific value.  Even if the degree of accuracy of a constant is believed to be accurate to within one part in a billion this is true. The accuracy of one part in a billion could mean that a stable condition for a specific experiment configuration has been achieved, but that particular configuration could still be influencing the measurement to a small degree.

If you say the numbers are "approximate" why give them to three places of decimals?

General Science / Is 1,618... the golden number?

« on: 10/09/2018 18:46:18 »

Hello everyone,

I would like to start a topic about the Golden Number: 1.61803399...

What makes a single number so interesting that ancient Egypts, Greeks, Renaissance artists, a 17th century astronomer and a 21st century novelist all would use and write about it? It's a number that goes by many names. This “golden” number, 1.61803399..., represented by the Greek letter Phi (Φ), is known as the Golden Ratio, Golden Number, Golden Proportion, Golden Mean, Golden Section, Divine Proportion and Divine Section.

If you don't know what the Golden Number is I am here to give you a short introduction into this fascinating but still mysterious topic with the intention to start an interesting discussion on the why.

The Golden Number and Ratio is unique in its mathematical properties and pervasive in its appearance throughout natural reality. Most of you may be more interested in the appearances of Phi in nature, it's application to art, architecture and design, and its potential insights into the more spiritual aspects of life, but as we are the inside the nakedscients forum, let's begin with the purest of facts about Phi, which are found in mathematics.

Mathematics of the Golden Number

Most of you know about the number Pi (3,14...) but relatively few about Phi (1,618...), the Golden Ratio. Why is that? Phi, just as Pi is one of a few irrational numbers found inside mathematics. Meaning they have an infinite number of digits after the decimal point.

Phi is not only irrational but the very most irrational number. Watch this video for validation (I suggest watching it after reading trough the topic if this is your first encounter to Phi as it might be confusing):

Where Pi (3,14...) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, Phi (1,618...) is the Golden Ratio that results when a line is divided in the ratio of 1 : 1,618... .

Imagine a rope and you were asked to cut it somewhere. There's an infinite amount of places at which you could cut it. Each place of cut would result in different ratios for the length of the small piece to the large piece, and of the large piece to the entire rope. For example cut it in exact half and you get a ratio of 1 : 1 from small to large piece and 1 : 1/2 from any of the two pieces to the original length of the rope.
There is this one unique point, at which the ratio of the large piece to the smaller piece is exactly the same as the ratio of the whole rope to the larger piece, and at this point the golden ratio of both is 1 : 1,618... , or Phi.


golden ratio line.gif (4.08 kB . 600x347 - viewed 7602 times)

What makes this so much more than an exercise in mathematics is that this proportion appears throughout creation and extensively in the human face and body. It's found in the proportions of animals, in plants, the solar system and even in the seemingly chaotic movements of stock markets. And that's why it's so appealing to mathematicians, doctors, naturalists, artists, inventors, mystics or anyone else having the slightest ammount curiosity for the reality we are living in.

The Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence, also a plot element in "The Da Vinci Code", provides yet another way to derive Phi mathematically. The series is quite simple and elegant. Start with 0 and add 1 to get 1. Then repeat the process adding each two numbers in series to determine the next one: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233...


FibonacciRow.gif (28.89 kB . 600x500 - viewed 7467 times)

The relationship between the Fibonacci numbers to the Golden Ratio or Phi is found by dividing each number by the one before. The further you go in the series, the closer the result gets to Phi. For example:

1/1 = 1
2/1 = 2
3/2 = 1,5
5/3 = 1,666
13/8 = 1,625
21/13 = 1,615

Furthermore in the series and you'll find that 233/144 = 1,61805 is a very close approximation of Phi, which to den decimal places is 1,6180339887.

Geometry of the Golden Ratio

The Golden ratio is also found in geometry, appearing in basic construction of an equilateral triangle, square and pentagon placed inside a circle, as well as in more complex three-dimensional solids such as dodecahedrons and many more.

*Insert pictures of golden geometry examples*

Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630) - key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution and best know for his discovery of the true elliptical nature of the orbits of the planets inside our solar system described it as such: "Geometry has two great treasures: one is the Theorem of Pxythagoras; the other, the division of a line into the extreme and mean ratio. The first we may compare to a measure of gold; the second we may name a precious jewel."

Nature and Life

There are many other fascinating mathematical relationships and oddities in both Phi and the Fibonacci series that can be explored but now I would like to venture with you into the nature, where Phi and the Fibonacci sequence manifest themselves pervasively, tough not universally.

Fibonacci numbers are always the number of petals in a flower or the number of branches splitting from one point in vegetation.
Funfact: That's why a four-leaved clover is regarded as rare, since 4 isn't a fibonacci number. The positions and proportions of the key dimension on animals are based on Phi. Examples include the body sections of insects, dimensions of bird wings, the spiral of sea shells and the position of the dorsal fins on dolphin, to name a very few. The library of Phi on living and moving things seems to reach into infinity just as it's irrational nature is. Every living being is a projection of Phi meaning if you happen to find something alive (or moving) you are certain to find Golden Proportions.


Nautilus_Cutaway_with_Logarithmic_Spiral.jpg (44.84 kB . 886x670 - viewed 7404 times)

*Insert pictures of golden ratios in the nature*

Even more intriguing is the extensive appearance of Phi throughout the human body. Extremities, the face, teeth, organ positioning the ratio at which our heart beats, we breath and even the spiral of the Human DNA are based on the Golden Proportions. This has a direct impact on our perceptions of (human-) beauty. Some would argue that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there is evidence to support that our perception of beauty in women and men is based on how closely the proportion of facial and body dimensions come to Phi. It seems that Phi is hard-wired into our consciousness as a guide to beauty. For this reason models and stars most often show of Golden Ratios throughout their body which also lead to facial plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry as a guide to achieve the most "natural" and beautiful results in facial features and appearance. As Phi is deeply imbedded we even find golden proportions at geometries carved inside caves from 10.000 years ago or from a child drawing seemingly abstract lines on paper.

Art, Architecture and Design

With all the unique mathematical properties of Phi and its appearance throughout creations, it's of little wonder that mankind would not only take notice of this number and the Golden Ratio it creates, but also use it to capture the beauty and harmony of nature in our own creations in art, architecture and other areas of design. In some cases, mankind application of Phi is undeniable. In other cases, it is still the subject of debate. The Great Pyramid of Egypt appears to embody the Golden Ratio in the ratios of base, height and hypotenuse, tough there are no record of the ancient Egyptians mentioning Phi. The Greeks knew of Phi at the time of building the Pantheon. While the Pantheon overall dimensions only approximate the golden ratio, there appear to be Golden Ratios everywhere throughout the design elements and columns. De divina proportione (translated from Italian: the divine proportions) a book from 1500 on mathematics and geometry written by Luca Pacioli was illustrated by none other than the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Himself using the golden ratio extensively in famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa and Salvator Mundi. The dimensions of Stradivarius violins is built around Phi proportions and of course good sounding music and acoustical note proportions involve many examples of golden ratios.
More modern applications of the Golden Ratio in architecture can be seen in the Notre Dame in Paris, the United Nations Headquarters Secretariat building in New York (UN) and in the blueprint of whole Washington DC. It's very commonly used in the design of products and logos by many major corporations such as google and apple. It has been used in high fashion clothing design and the basis for "the fashion code", a style guide to dressing.
Various studies have validated that the golden rectangle is the most pleasing to the human eye.

The Solar System and Universe

Curiously enough, we even find golden ratio relationships in the solar system and universe. The diameters of the Earth and Moon form a triangle whose dimensions are based on the mathematical characteristics of phi. The rings of Saturn are very close in dimension to the golden ratio of the planets diameter. Even the position of the great know bodies inside our solar system seem to be directly linked to the Golden ratio.

The description of this golden proportion as the divine proportion is perhaps fitting because is seen by many as a door to a deeper understanding of beauty and spirituality in life, unveiling a hidden harmony or connectedness in so much of what we see and are. If you came down all the way to here you might find it difficult to deny the importance this single number plays inside the reality we perceive.

Phi does not explicitly appear in the Bible. Still you can find it in most volumes page ratios or the dimensions given by God to Noah for the Ark which reflect a 5 to 3 proportion. Both Fibonacci numbers with a ratio of 1,666..., a reasonably close approximation to Phi. The Kaaba, the most sacred site of Islam in Mecca, is located very close to the golden ratio of the distance between the Earths north and south poles. Even the symbol for Phi, a circle with a line drawn trough it, can be tough to represent a zero, or void, divided by one, or unity, to create beauty, or live. Analogous to God creating the universe from nothing.

The Discovery

The whole is the sum of it's parts...

All of this led me to a path of self discovery, passion, invention and riches in various ways.

I tried my best to keep things short and concise. Any of these topics has potential to be highly exaggerated but I wanted to keep this into the further communications inside this topic.

To me the golden ratio represents the highest amount of efficiency inside a system. Phi can play a larger role inside invention, as efficiency is something we clearly crave for.

A wonderful example of this is seen in this video by the inventor Jay Harman and his water mixing apparatus which is being designed around Phi:

"The path of least resistance" - Jay Harman

If you happen to like what you saw in the above mentioned video go ahead and watch this as well. The video is a very good addition to this topic as he is not only describing his invention but starting with a good explanation of Phi I mostly agree with.

Phi might be the very foundation of making living things possible. As we see in our solar system  and it's high organization around Phi including Earth and all of it's live.
In my research, so far, other planetary systems we found have no direct link of Phi to their solar midpoints. (We have found thousands, I might not have searched trough the right ones we know of) On our search on habitable planets and extraterrestrial live forms we might should try involve Phi as a central filter.

I as a human without any religious following and feet grounded into science (facts rather then believes) am starting to ask myself: "Is the golden ratio the fingerprint of a creator, who appears to love math? Is it a code hidden in plain sight?"
Can all of this really be a huge coincidence? This isn't chaos, this is order by design and by analogy every design should have a designer, right?

I believe science and the golden ratio have a long way to go and we should seriously start spreading the knowledge. The golden proportion of live is pervasive around us and it's shocking how such a big number is known to such a little number of fellow humans (after my observation of talking to many).

So why?

I am very thankful about having access to the internet as without that I would've had it difficult to acquire the knowledge on topics such as the golden ratio.
Also I would like to Gary B. Meisner who is about to publish a book on the Golden Ratio I already have preordered. It's called "The Golden Ratio: The Divine Beauty of Mathematics" This thread is heavily inspired by his work and I have used to some extend text and pictures of his website. He deserves Applaus!

It's wonderful to be able to share the knowledge around the Golden Ratio now with everyone.

Together we might start with a library of Phi, involving all the observable golden ratios as all these observations are what Phi is leading to and ultimately will also lead us to the why of things.

Thanks you for reading trough, looking forward to further communicate,
- Robert

Janus, you are amazing and I am sure you know that yourself! Really good insight on what the light speed actually means to mass and how rocket propulsion works. I read you answer a few times and now try my best at the math parts...

Phyti. I am going ahead and read the wikipedia article. But for now I HAVE to start a new thread about another topic...
