New Theories / Re: Does Spin 1/2 Imply Quickly Varying Magnetic Moment?

« on: Yesterday at 16:36:29 »

The textbooks cannot give a reason why the electron don't look the same after one rotation.
It's not really a rotation, so why would they look the same?

One would think Bored chemist can read. If it's not really a rotation wouldn't it always look the same?

Sounds more like a typo to me

New Theories / Re: New explanation of the working principle of the homopolar motor made by Faraday!

« on: Yesterday at 09:31:17 »

These two funny guys @Bored chemist and @Colin2B would be perfect ministers for the Ministry of truth in the Orwell's 1984.
The Big Brother would be proud of them.

Oh dear, oh dear.
Never a good idea to draw attention to your posts, someone might start paying more attention to them.

When you signed up to this forum you agreed to abide by the rules, which state that you will not post material/theories that are published elsewhere and you will not advertise.
I notice that this topic has been published on your website and you reference your book, both of which you are advertising. I think we will take a closer look at your posts.

We have no issue with you discussing your ideas, but posting them in this way is against the rules you agreed to.

New Theories / Re: Could the Covid 19 virus be used as a type of germ warfare?

« on: 21/04/2021 14:18:36 »

If the virus was released intentionally there is certianly evidence that the elites in the west have completely benefitted from it. Just saying.

As @Bored chemist  says, many will have benefited, but also many have not or have lost out, for example the hospitality industry.

I’m sure that somewhere there is a group of white supremecist, pension-fund managers who are looking at the death stats and rubbing their hands with glee. However, any suggestion that they have been instrumental in developing or releasing the virus is total conjecture and unscientific. And adding ‘just saying’ on the end of such statements changes nothing.

This is a science site, not a conspiracy discussion site and we are taking a firmer line on limiting such speculation. Please take heed as there will be no second warnings. Just saying.

Just Chat! / Re: How accurate are these abortion statistics?

« on: 20/04/2021 14:01:41 »

These are not spontaneous abortions.

The number of those is much higher.
By far the biggest supporter of abortion is God.

God is also a big supporter of non-spontaneous abortions.
One of his creations, the honey bee, will remove and destroy eggs from developmental cells if forage is short or temperature suddenly drops. They will also destroy eggs which appear to be diseased.

NAKED SCIENCE - THE OFFICIAL BOOK / Re: Introduction

Welcome Darel, hope you enjoy your time here.

I also started my social project in which I want to find out whether international experience can influence a person's perception.

I would have hoped that any experience would influence a person’s perception. Obviously, the more differences from their usual experiences then the greater the possible impact.

Great mini-essay. I was looking for a topic for my student. He really liked your explanation. Thank you

You really need to be very careful about directing your student to this poster and his explanations. He is consistently wrong on almost everything he says in his threads.
This is new theories section and cannot be relied on to give correct science.

I noticed as well that many people are dreaming that this pandemic scam will end someday.

Please steer well clear of any conspiracy theories. This pandemic is real.
Also, please do not advertise your personal forum created to support your theories.

Looked at from the side, a rotation looks like an oscillation and an oscillating

Rotating charge is necessary for it to have a magnetic moment.

That’s not true. There is no requirement for the charge to rotate physically. As @Bored chemist says, spin is a word to describe a property not an actual motion.
Do you think quarks are painted in different colours?

Just Chat! / Re: Why is stoneground flour expensive?

« on: 19/04/2021 10:26:49 »

Before and during the middle ages powder-like flour was considered superior to stoneground, and was therefore usually only consumed by the rich.

As @Bored chemist points out, it was all stoneground either in a wind or watermill or a hand stone.
The fineness was dependent on the amount of time spent grinding and the amount of bran/germ removed.
Today we can get wholemeal from roller ground, just depends if you want a bit of grit with it 😷

The Environment / Re: Why in spring are the day and night temperatures so different

« on: 17/04/2021 09:22:09 »

Just to add to what Alan is saying - same thing but different words
There are 2 factors that will affect this:
Ground heat capacity. During winter/spring the sun is lower in sky and doesn’t heat the ground as much as in summer when sun is higher in sky. This heat is radiated back out at night.
Water vapour. Summer has more water vapour in air. This absorbs heat during the day and not only acts as a thermal blanket at night, but also traps the reradiated heat from the ground. This is also why deserts get so cold at night.

Don’t know.
But I do know it’s a lot easier to post here if you don’t try to spam us.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Why Didn't Einstein FULLY Address Simultaneity-at-a-Distance?

« on: 15/04/2021 08:06:09 »

Suppose  Marconi had been told, as he probably was, that meter-readings of radio-waves conclusively proved that the waves always travel in straight lines.

I’m quite sure someone did tell him this, but experiment proved otherwise.
However, this is still posting your alternative theory in a post on a different subject, in the main section.
Please take note of my warning, the choice is yours.

So I wouldn't waste time trying to take a picture of it.

How about you stop wasting our time by posting your nonsense in the main part of the forum.
Feel free to post your ‘theories’ in the appropriate section rather than here, otherwise you might find your ability to post in the main sections limited.

If it were left to you Hertz would have been told to ignore the meter reading and forget that radio waves might be discovered.

All it means, is that we can't see two events happening at the same time.

No it doesn’t. It’s not due to the time taken for light to travel, that is a separate effect.

New Theories / Re: Is There Any Alternative to Special Relativity?

« on: 14/04/2021 10:10:11 »

Your analysis is wrong because you keep using the same geometrical center of light emission A for both frames and I keep telling you, that it won't work - you need to have 2 different points of emission A1 and A2 for both frames:

And if you want to know all the details here they are:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_transformation

Galilean relativity treats any event as being the same event in all frames, it doesn't postulate 2 different events. So your starting point is not Galilean Relativity.
I must commend you on the degree of thinking you've put into this, but as others have pointed out there are inconsistencies which are nothing to do with SRT.
Have a look at emission theory which should turn up in any search. It has some of the ideas you are chasing and you can see why it was rejected.

It's important to remember that Einstein started his theory due to anomalies in the behaviour of moving electric and magnetic fields. You theory has to also explain these anomalies, some of which rely on length contraction in the wire. See https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Modern_Physics/Book%3A_Spiral_Modern_Physics_(D%27Alessandris)/1%3A_The_Special_Theory_of_Relativity_-_Kinematics/1.8%3A_Length_Contraction_and_the_Magnetic_Force__(Project)

Keep thinking
