Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Has the speed of light been tested in a vacuum?
« on: 06/01/2023 19:21:26 »
Quote from: Bobsey on 06/01/2023 18:11:41
Suck the air out of a plastic bottle , it collapses under the vac pressure . Thats what I mean by vac pressure

That's not "vac" pressure, that's just the external air pressure crushing the bottle because it isn't balanced by the internal pressure of the bottle.

Quote from: Bobsey on 06/01/2023 18:11:41
Your oceans and Islands are all within the set volume , you are looking from within the volume raather than an external view of the volume with all due respect .

If you are within the Universe (which you are), then you are "looking from within the volume" just as a person on an island would be "looking from within the volume" of the ocean. The analogy is still perfectly apt.

Quote from: Bobsey on 06/01/2023 18:11:41
If you removed the islands and oceans from the set...

...then you would no longer be talking about an appropriate analogy, so it's irrelevant.

Quote from: Bobsey on 06/01/2023 18:11:41
I'm hung up on this because I think science should be precise in explanation with no room or doubt for critism .

You're not arguing the explanation (a vacuum isn't an explanation, it's a concept), you're arguing the definition. A sufficient explanation of the definition has been given in this thread.

After getting banned from Scienceforums.net for denying the expansion of space based on bad arguments, you've decided to come back here and cause trouble for us again?

A vacuum is a space devoid of matter according to google

The space between the particles is devoid of matter, hence a vacuum.

New Theories / Re: Not-Quite-So Elementary, My Dear Fermion
« on: 28/12/2022 04:30:44 »
Quote from: aasimz on 28/12/2022 00:53:08
However, I hope you will not be offended. If I said, we could use a second opinion of a physicist with regards to this particular point. because I believe it's important, I don't remember you addressing it anyway

Sure, anyone who wants should feel free to chime in.

Quote from: aasimz on 28/12/2022 00:53:08
Literally existing!? partly existing!? There are no such things, and they have no meaning in this universe, it's either you exist, or you don't.
I think the name quasi-particles has nothing to do with them being real or imaginary or partly existing. They have mass and they interact, they are a form of matter.

I'm not trying to say that quasi-particles aren't real, only that they aren't the same as true elementary particles, and thus aren't "real" particles (in the same sense that "horny toads" aren't "real" toads): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiparticle

Quote from: aasimz on 28/12/2022 00:53:08
Although am not sure if they can split the positron in a different experiment into anti-quasi-particles.

In principle, it should be possible to do so, but you would need bulk antimatter in order to accomplish that. Put a positron in normal matter and it annihilates.

Quote from: aasimz on 28/12/2022 00:53:08
what mattered is the question: would there be any matter left of the Electron? which you did not address as well.

Assuming you could somehow get all three quasiparticles to interact with a positron at the same time, then I think it would annihilate and thus become radiation. In that case, nothing would be left of the electron.

Quote from: aasimz on 28/12/2022 00:53:08
Maybe, they don't need a medium like light, or maybe when they are bound, they are each other's medium, maybe if there is a force that governs their bound state (external factor) maybe, it would be their medium, can you say for sure it is impossible to be?

Being in the right medium is what gives rise to them. That's what makes them quasiparticles. An analogy is phonons, which are another type of quasiparticle. Phonons are quantized vibrational modes in a lattice of atoms. If I had a solid that was filled with phonons and then pulled it apart atom-by-atom, then all of the phonons would be gone because there is no longer any way for lattice vibrations to exist in individual atoms. That's what I mean by quasiparticles being an emergent phenomenon. Take away what's needed for emergence, and you can no longer have them. If you still think that quasiparticles are elementary particles, then I think you still have misconceptions of what a quasiparticle is. Here is a video that explains them:


The takeaway here is that spinons, orbitons and holons are not more fundamental than electrons. Rather, they are more complex than electrons.

Quote from: aasimz on 28/12/2022 00:53:08
I don't see that; they can't cease to exist in any sense other than "cease to exist"

If you pluck an electron out of a solid, then it's just an electron. If it was an orbiton, holon and spinon before you did that, then yes, you can choose to say those three quasiparticles ceased to exist when you did that.

There has been a dramatic turn for the worse lately, where does all this nonsense come from? I suspect mental health problems.

DarkKnight was another sockpuppet of a former member called Thebox. He has repeatedly come back time and time again posting nonsense before getting banned. He's been kicked off again, though.

Any linear operator from any position can be viewed as x .

Unbounded photons can be viewed to travel at 

c=

Any bounded EM fields can be viewed as influenced by the x,y,z operator and the speed the EM field travels is dependent to the bounded bodies speed .

Nonsense equations as always, huh?

Quote from: DarkKnight on 08/12/2022 05:32:45
The BB magically manifests a high temperature , dense state , would be my main objection .

I don't see how that's magical.

Quote from: DarkKnight on 08/12/2022 05:32:45
The first principle of evidence should always be in determining if the evidence is relative to the subject or the evidence has another meaning(s) . One should never automatically assume that the alledged evidence proves something to be true because evidence can be viewed in different contexts by the observer. It is important we are clear in our minds what the evidence is relative to, or this can lead to false facts entering the education system . 
Reliable first principle information and reliable evidence is imperative for building a factual underlying basis  of any subject. Without this first principle,  any subject is open to ridicule and expression of disapproval .The reliability of proceding information that is derived from principle information , can be considered in being only as reliable as the principle information . If strict disciplines of how we view principle information is not adhered too , then again proceding information may not be factual information .

I can't make sense of this. Evidence isn't a relative thing.

Quote from: DarkKnight on 08/12/2022 14:41:11
There is multiple reasoning that the early universe started off in a low temperature , low density , sparse state .

That doesn't mesh with the evidence.

They're generally not (other than through gravitational radiation, which is such a slow process for regular stars that it might as well not be happening).

It isn't. Gravity isn't freezing anything in place here. It's like saying something in free fall is frozen in place. It's not. This tidal tail is a temporary structure.

New Theories / Re: Gravitational Arm
« on: 14/11/2022 05:36:03 »
I'm highly suspicious that this thread is going to be about material which you have had previous threads locked over. So let's get straight to the point: what is your "new theory" here? Keep in mind that if you start making the following arguments, this thread will be locked as well:

(1) That dark matter doesn't exist and that anomalous galactic rotation curves are caused by the gravity of regular matter alone.
(2) That gravity can be used to create unlimited energy.
(3) That it's the natural tendency for objects in orbit to move away from the body that they are orbiting without energy input.
(4) Any other physics-defying proposals you've made before.

So take caution in how you proceed. I will go back and look at your previous threads to check if I have to.

Quote from: pasala on 13/11/2022 08:00:09
But, I think it is better to explore our solar system before going to others.

Any theory you come up with is going to need to be applicable to other planetary systems as well.

Quote from: pasala on 13/11/2022 08:00:09
Basic question is what is being curved.

If space-time is curved then what is being curved is space-time. I mean it's right there in the description.

Quote from: pasala on 13/11/2022 08:00:09
Suppose if it is energy, its density at a particular place that decides type of planet at a particular place.

I don't know what it would mean to "curve" energy, but your assertion is still refuted by the existence of hot Jupiters.

Quote from: pasala on 13/11/2022 08:00:09
Basic question is, can we change Neptune planet and Mercury planets order.

If Mercury formed as far out as Neptune in the Solar System, its physical properties would likely be far different by the fact that temperatures out there are far lower. That means it would have a much higher ice content (ice and water boil away where Mercury is now).

I am also saying that space is not empty and it is completely filled with aether.

How are you defining your aether?

Not a very scientific mindset.

The current consensus is that we evolved from an ape that is now extinct (like some species of Australopithecus). They were more human-like than the chimpanzees are.

The observable universe is as far as we can see (limited by how far light can travel in the current age of the universe), which is very probably not the universe as a whole. The entire universe might even be infinite in size, but we may never have any way of knowing for sure.

Honestly, this is getting tiresome. Using sarcasm and self-deprecating speech is irrelevant to whether or not your device will work. If you've been dealt a bad hand in life, then I'm sorry that things have worked out that way for you but it has no place in a discussion about perpetual motion. We aren't telling you that you are wrong because you are disabled or handicapped or whatever. We are telling you that you are wrong because you are provably wrong. Please stop trying to make this anything more than that, because it isn't.
