Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Has E=mc2 been proved practically?
« on: Yesterday at 22:24:26 »Matter is just made up of electrical charges held apart by magnetic spin inertia in an x,y,z, volume enclosure.That's not even wrong.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Has E=mc2 been proved practically?
« on: Yesterday at 22:23:20 »Physicists needs to physically measure something in terms of its length, weight, time taken etcOne of the etceteras is the magnetic permeability of free space which was defined as something like 4 pi * 10^-7 Henries per metre by defining the ampere as
" that constant current i which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed r = 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force F equal to 2 x 10-7 newton per meter of length ".
So the thing you see as a "problem" was solved decades ago.
The use of things like this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibble_balance
Show that we quite definitely can, and in practice do, measure things in such a way to make this
" fundamental electro-magnetic energy cannot be measured in those units "
absurd.

New Theories / Re: Solving the puzzle of wave-particle duality, solution of this problem
« on: 05/12/2023 16:20:04 »So what is it ?It's a quantum object.
So a photon is not a wave or a particle- because it's a photon.
And so on.
I don't mean to be rude, but you don't seem to get the wave-particle duality "problem".

« on: 04/12/2023 23:50:45 »If you wouldn't mind, the Wikipedia examples are not entirely convincing.Yes they are.
The problem must lie elsewhere.

If the OP had asked a better question then things like ion exchangers and this

Might be better answers- but he didn't.

New Theories / Re: Solving the puzzle of wave-particle duality, solution of this problem
« on: 03/12/2023 20:23:01 »The explanation of wave-particle duality presented in the first post may perhaps be considered not entirely satisfactoryYes; because it doesn't explain wave-particle duality.
This can probably be seen as a step towards the final solution.Yes; that step concludes when you realise it's tosh and you stop wasting time on it and do something useful instead.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Do tranquilizers really work as fast as we see in crime fiction?
« on: 02/12/2023 22:05:31 »
The idea- popular in cartoons and spy films- that you can knock someone unconscious with a blow to the head and have them recover fully, shortly afterwards, is as much a myth as the "chloroform on a cloth" myth.
It's probably more dangerous too- since not many people have ready access to chloroform.

New Theories / Re: Why the Earth axis rotation is shifted
« on: 02/12/2023 21:33:10 »So, what kind of force is there which keeps the Earth axis rotation at about 23.5 for relatively long time?You don't need a force to keep it constant.
The conservation of angular momentum does that.
On the other hand, the earth's motion is complicated.

Try learning physics, then you might understand it.

It depends...
But.
" In 1865 as a direct result of the criminal reputation chloroform had gained, the medical journal The Lancet offered a "permanent scientific reputation" to anyone who could demonstrate "instantaneous insensibility", i.e. losing consciousness instantaneously, using chloroform.[62]"
From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform#Criminal_use
It would be tricky to balance a high enough dose to get a fast effect vs a dose that kills the person.
Not a problem in the OP's scenario.
This sort of thing is a genuine concern.

Two things.
Evolution has about a billion year head start on us and
there's no market because the machine would have to be cheaper to build than a dog.

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 23.11.24 What can seeds to for our health?
« on: 23/11/2023 19:39:09 »
If you are careless when eating apples you should be glad that the pips go through unchanged.
If chewed they release cyanide- though not enough to do any harm.
Eating seeds is pretty much universal when you think about it; wheat, maize, rice and so on as well as pulses and nuts are essentially seeds.
