Conservation of momentum relies on the initial conditions whereas the problem itself relies on the final conditions when the velocities can be added up.

I think you just failed, you have a mental block on your perception.

Good.  Anyone who wants to pass a crazy test must be crazy.

If I define 10m , 10m is a set constant, 10m of space does not change and never will, it is an invariant, the only invariant in the universe. Distance is the only invariant we have.

If you define 10 m.  But how do you define 10 m?

Quote
The thing is time is measured by a distance. a frequency rate over a distance. A frequency rate change , is a change in speed , the distance remains a constant.

sometimes

Quote
I.e if we have set distance x

x=299 792 458 m


any change of rate of something between A and B would be a change in speed.


Apparent speed consists of two apparent rates and one proper rate.

What is the propellant?

There is no propellant. I hope obtain a propulsion with the association of a superconductive ring and a magnetic shield. For more information, you can read the first message of the topic.

I already did.  In that message the propellant was the earth.

Just Chat! / Re: Fun With Old Glasses
« on: 30/01/2016 17:38:49 »
I'm pretty sure most of optometry is a scam.  I used to wear big astigmatism glasses for 20-70 (6/18 metric), then flimsy toric soft contact lenses, then smaller but deeper hard contact lenses; I was told the hard contacts reshaped the eye somewhat.  The lenses were a pain so that suggestion gave me the idea that I could squeeze my eyeballs into sharpness, and so I did with my thumb and forefinger several times until they were left permanently sharp.

I'm not asking what happens to our flesh; I want to know if there is an afterlife. Does our conscientiousness survive our death? Or do we simply cease to exist, just like like it was before we existed?

Look up Ryan Hammons and James Leininger, then the work of Dr. Jim Tucker who's interviewed kids with past life memories.  Most of it comes down to luck, which is as unfair as anything.

   In my “The Fabric of the Soul” book I explore three solutions for God and the Universe. The simple solution is for a single light speed universe. For this case our soul is composed of radiated dot-waves which is the cause of the gravitational field. The world of the dead centers at the center of this Earth. There the Earth God exists. Within the Earth God lies the Gods of man. The Jewish God is one little God. There are many Christian Gods of the Churches and nations.

You mean your novel?

  When you die, you mind still exists in spiritual energy. Your soul survives within the heat of your body. In death your soul loses a spiritual energy source. It could head toward the center of the Earth and your particular spiritual collective. Then you will be absorbed by your God. Individual life after death is very short but you can be remembered and live again in the future by an Earthly reincarnation process or a cosmic reincarnation process to other Earths.

Spiritus (breath, booze) was the Vulgate mistranslation of pneýma (Latin vis, English wit); by medieval times it was supplanted by humor and by modern times it was supplanted by hormone and neurotransmitter.

I hate how New Agers keep talking about "raising your vibrations" or distinguish "higher" and "lower" vibrations as if more is better or if more is correlated to altitude; the former comes with more entropy and noise.  If brainwaves were correlated to this, you'd get seizures; if ECGs were correlated to this, your heart would explode.  A lot of opinions are grounded in rumors, mis-understandings, and wishful thinking; so-called universal laws may not hold much or at all.

  Those who are not absorbed by their Gods will end up in the outer darkness away from the surface of this Earth. There they will freeze and perish quickly. Thus death does not involve any suffering. It is like being lost in a storm in Alaska and freezing to death rapidly. The soul will die until it moves toward the various Gods of man. Until you are absorbed or frozen your spiritual mind will continue to think.

None of the above.  A Quora question on Eric Verlinde's entropic gravity sent me on a Google scavenger hunt, and a thread here was one of the results.

Quote from: alysdexia
This idiotic claim ... has already been disproven for feynmanium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table#End_of_the_periodic_table.

I think that perhaps the tense is a little scrambled here.
This section in Wikipedia is talking about theoretical problems that might prevent elements beyond 137 (or 173) from being stable.

It was only at the end of 2015 that IUPAC formally recognized the fleeting existence of element 118.

So I am puzzled about why the hypothetical properties of element 137 (or 173), elements that have never been observed in the laboratory could already have proven something about black holes?

A classic or semiclassic model like the Bohr model relies on escape velocity, or the virial theorem, thus for black holes this is equated to the light cone or Rindler horizon.

"Under this approximation, any element with an atomic number of greater than 137 would require 1s electrons to be traveling faster than c, the speed of light. Hence the non-relativistic Bohr model is clearly inaccurate when applied to such an element."

Quote
Black Holes don't rely on quantum theory or even general relativity. Even in Newton's classical physics, a sufficiently massive object would not allow light to escape.

Black holes rely on Galilean relativity (Newton-compliant) or general relativity (Einstein- and Rindler-compliant), not Lorentzian relativity.  The only effect that can override Lorentz corrections falls under Snell's law (thus the Chèrèncov effect) and that doesn't allow dark stars either, only a delay.

Sorry but this can't happen.
Why can't stars be in a balance between gravitation, pressure and temperature?
And if stars run out of fusionable fuel, why won't the radius of the star shrink and the surface gravity increase?

It shrinks until inertia catches up.  To shrink further requires input of pressure that gravity can't supply.

New Theories / Re: Does photons have a mass?
« on: 30/01/2016 11:36:15 »
Vis and mass aren't MOD EDIT equivalent.

Take the volume of a box (or parallelepipedon) whose perpendicular spans are a, b, and c; its volume V = abc.  Does that mean its volume and its width are equivalent? 

Fòtòns are not motes; they are waves.  They are literally haps, events (actions in QM or CM).  Of course events don't bear a mass; they're not a body.  As such, they don't really exist.  They interact with other waves and bodies to make polaròns and polaritòns which do exist. MOD EDIT

The Lamb shift should impose the smallest mass fluctuation at the coldest matter; however hotter matter already has smaller transitions; this has nothing to do with the makeup of a wave thouh.

I am either crazy or the world is either crazy. so I have developed a crazy test in the form of a question



between A and B is a distance


A.........................................B


This distance is an absolute invariant, a constant.

Wherefore you say so?  I don't believe in practical constants anyhow.  Don't you remember how I pre-empt Lorentzians with the Snellian?

Quote

Anything measured other than distance and considered to be a rate, between point A and point B is the measurement of the speed of something.



type YES for agreement with the bold, or No to disagree with the bold.

How do you mete a range without time?  You can't.

New Theories / Re: Does 'Zero Energy Universe' ignore anti-gravity Voids? Alternative to Big Bang.
« on: 30/01/2016 11:04:11 »
Quote from: Alohascope on 29/01/2016 20:39:01
     As you know the Consensus is that the universe expanded from a singularity .. the Big Bang

I don't know this; who are this consensus?

Quote
rather cosmic Voids and Matter both arose from nothing due to Jordan's 'quantum fluctuations' across what became the space of what became the universe, matter arising from nothing an idea proposed by Jordan, who was said to have 'stunned' Einstein by his revelation that 'the stars arose from nothing.'  Einstein is said to have 'stopped in his tracks' as he crossed a street in Princeton, when told of Jordan's revelation by George Gamow .. the theory now known as the Zero Energy Universe. "Pascual Jordan first suggested that since the positive energy of a star’s mass and the negative energy of its gravitational field together may have zero total energy, conservation of energy would not prevent a star being created by a quantum transition of the vacuum." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-energy_universe.

Sorry but this is abuse of notation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse_of_notation.

Gravity isn't special in this way; any attractive field has negative potential.  Therefore one could argue matter and antimatter could arise arbitrarily.  The negative sign of the virial theorem applies to a vector rather than a scalar, where the latter should apply to true negative vis of negative mass.

Quote
     However, Voids had not been discovered in Jordan's time, so could not have contemplated Voids' part in the cosmos .. I believe it is anti-gravity energy in Voids which prevent matter arising in the Voids, and that energy drives the Voids expansion, which drives the expansion of Space, as well as driving the scattered matter of stars and galaxies into what is known as filaments.
     There it is, a theory which explains many mysteries of the Big Bang which is now almost defunct now that the CMB radiation has proven to be heat from dust.

Voids don't heed Hubble's law.  Rather, negative matter is concentrated at the edges of the univers, as one should expect.  Also you don't know what a theory is.

« on: 30/01/2016 10:55:16 »
Ye're all dumb halfwits who can't learn a damned thing.  The more time spent in talking it isn't spent in thinking.  Not only did ye ignore the etýma, everyone now doesn't know what superluminal means.

Put a mirror before the farer then wave.  If you (rather, a computer) can see yourself wave in it then you are not superluminal.  Then brace for impact.
