New Theories / Are we constantly shifting dimensions?

« on: 01/07/2015 18:32:35 »

Have you ever noticed some small thing you were certain of was different?  Is it just a fluke of memory? Or if we are a hundred percent certain, could it be that we shifted into an alternate dimension and didn't even realize we had, the other dimension being so like our own except for the one thing that was different?  Could we be shifting arbitrarily between these alternate realities?  This plays somewhat into the idea of intention, and whether intention doesn't really change the world, but is the mechanism or sense to allow us to shift to that other dimension.  Do we shift to that other place because that place has the prize we have been seeking, and our intention sniffs it out, and draws us into the alternate reality. The only problem is the law of unintended consequences.  If you shift into another reality what do you leave behind?  Maybe people don't really die they just become separated from those they knew, entering the other reality.

New Theories / If the photon is higher dimensional construct can it act as an entropy channel?

« on: 22/06/2015 19:32:53 »

Higher entropy allows for current flow even when no voltage is present.  If the photon is a representation of a higher dimension infiltrating our 3D space, could we harness the dispersion of this higher dimension as a form of extremely high entropy to harness the power of the universe?

New Theories / Do spouses of Multiple Sclerosis patients harbor immunity cures?

« on: 06/06/2015 23:42:52 »

We don't as yet know the viral mechanism that triggers Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but some science suggests the environment is full of the stuff and that only certain individuals get sick from it.  If MS patients are carriers of the disease wouldn't their non-sick spouses who have been exposed to it from repeated exposure to their spouse have within themselves the immunity anti-bodies that would provide a cure for their loved ones?

New Theories / What was the earliest mention of the motherbox concept?

« on: 18/04/2015 16:34:52 »

Looking on the Internet for the answer to this question it leads you to Jack Kirby and the New Gods from 1971.  However I remember reading an old science fiction novel whose author or title that I can't recall.  In the novel an secret agent in a sci-fi setting was on another planet, with interplanetary travel standard, and the agent uses a motherbox imbedded in his brain, acting as an AI to help the agent with his missions.  The novel from the fifties also had cell phones, ATM machines, and credits instead of money.  The agent could also trigger a physical enhancement that would give the agent super reflexes and strength for a brief period of time before needing recharging.  This novel was from the 1950s or perhaps the 60's, I can't recall exactly.. The author wrote the novel in a serious, humorous style and I remember it being a quick read.  The novel almost parallels what we are going through in today's technology and I was trying to find out whether there was an earlier mention of the motherbox idea.

New Theories / Can a ferrofluid protect an egg?

« on: 15/04/2015 21:26:52 »

If we place an uncooked egg in a pool of ferrofluid in a container surrounded by a quadrupole magnetic field and dropped the container from a height of 10 meters would the magnetically stabilized ferrofluid prevent the egg from damage and the forces of momentum?  Basically asking if the ferrofluid can act as an acceleration damper.

New Theories / Can we harvest the asteroid belt to protect the planet?

« on: 01/04/2015 06:45:33 »

As most of the planet killers headed our way originate in the asteroid belt, can we sort of get them before they get us?  Couldn't we map all the bodies in the asteroid belt, map their trajectories, then using space tugs redirect the ones headed our way anyhow into a lunar orbit? Then we could run mining operations from the moon to the asteroids orbiting the moon.

New Theories / Can nuclear fusion translate mass into electron momentum?

« on: 31/03/2015 10:23:05 »

A nuclear reaction transforms mass into an explosive energy release in the form of intense heat and light.  Can the reaction instead be controlled to shift mass into momentum?  Can momentum be imparted to electrons flowing in a magnetic ring? Further could their movement in the ring create an induction current outside the reactive system to produce commercially usable electricity?

New Theories / Can laser cooling, magnetic trapping lead to practical inertial dampers?

« on: 28/03/2015 06:42:26 »

In this article, https://d22izw7byeupn1.cloudfront.net/files/RevModPhys.70.721.pdf , it talks of effects of electromagnetic radiation and the trapping thereof in a quadrupole magnetic field.  If the electromagnetic radiation could adhere to all the molecules in an aircraft, could the trapping force of the quadrupole magnetic field hold all the molecules stationary, protected from inertia? Could this act as an inertial damper protecting occupants from G forces due to acceleration?

New Theories / Can we leave a light on in the Internet of Things?

« on: 22/03/2015 21:45:03 »

Being away from the house, in the past, one would leave a light on to simulate a presence in the house to promote security.  Can we do the same when hackers can see all messaging from the Internet of Things in a house?  Can we record the wifi signaling, then play it back to act like we are leaving a light on in the house?

New Theories / Can an anti-matter fuel cell be controlled?

« on: 14/03/2015 19:11:51 »

I'm thinking of the horror of an anti-matter fuel cell exploding inadvertently.  Could we consider keeping not only the anti-matter separated from regular matter, but also keeping the anti-matter particles in the fuel cell separated from each other, so that if if there is a loss of containment only one reaction would occur, rather than a release of total potential.  I'm also thinking of the mechanism that introduces the anti-matter particle into the reaction chamber and the design of the chamber to harness electricity produced.  What initially comes to mind is the mechanism that only allows one lottery ball into the selection chamber at once, a mechanical limiting principle.  Instead of having a single volume of a reaction chamber, I envision a system the circulates the anti-matter in a continuous stream, and only one anti-matter is admitted to the reaction chamber, and the chamber is convoluted in a massive manifold within a magnetic bottle.  The manifold would be engineered to direct the flow of electrons and reduce/control the outflow of power.

New Theories / Can an AI construct act as a legal final will & testament?

« on: 24/02/2015 17:23:29 »

Can an Artificial Intelligence construct act as a legal Final Will and Testament for an individual?  The actual text of the will would not be discoverable without allowing the AI construct, perhaps represented by an avatar or recreated individual persona, to run through its programming.  All the words the individual would want to say to his/her heirs would be stored in a dictionary with pointers.  The programming in the AI construct would reassemble the context based on intended messages by the deceased.  Heirs would access the information by asking the AI questions.  Everything from the person's life could be revealed to heirs upon demand, both a memoir and a final statement.  The actual significance of decisions of the deceased could be programmed into the AI construct, so courts would be clear as to intent.

New Theories / Can we use stimulated molecular vibration beam as a kind of Star Trek scan beam?

« on: 18/01/2015 10:24:59 »

In IR spectroscopy they induce a vibrational response in a material to understand its composition. If we set a series of induced pulsed vibrations in a material would they create a resonance that would transfer through multiple objects or materials in a coherent beam? Could we read the vibrational response in reverse through the beam in the rest phase between pulses?  Using time of signal return the variations of vibrational response would be like a core sample through any combinations of material and/or voids.

New Theories / Can nuke power plants use EMP generators to clear their airspace of drones?

« on: 17/01/2015 22:57:46 »

Would it be effective at stopping nefarious drone flights over nuclear power plants if the nuclear power plant had automated defenses against drones that included an EMP generator? Could the sensitive equipment at the power plant be shielded from the EMP blasts?

New Theories / Can AI react to intent?

« on: 17/01/2015 21:47:38 »

Couples, team mates, fellow crew members know each other so well that their interactions can be governed by unspoken intent.  Can we program artificial intelligence to respond to intent?  In such a way a program interface will react almost as if they can read our minds.  The programming for this can occur in and take advantage of the time scale difference between man and machine. In the time scale differences of telecommunications and man we send video messages across the globe through the Internet, and everything looks smooth as long as the transmission delay is kept below 150 milliseconds.  In an intention engine we would just be speeding up the reaction time of the AI device, by giving the device the ability to sense cues of voice tone, body language, and phrasing, then preloading probable possible outcomes.  Then when the estimated cues intersect with real inputs, the AI computer will react as if it already knew what you wanted.  The incredible processing speed just makes the reaction seem smooth, although there is still a small delay.  It would make the AI responses seem on par with our human partners.

New Theories / Should airplane black boxes be robots?

« on: 10/01/2015 13:47:47 »

After aircraft crashes sometimes the airplane black boxes haven't been recovered or they have been found much later than the incident.  What if the black boxes were self contained robots that actively sought out authorities making their way to a predetermined location.  The black boxes could have a sequence of steps to follow after a crash.  For a specified time they would remain in situ to allow authorities to recover, then after a period of time after a crash the black box would independently move towards a predetermined recovery location.

New Theories / Can Second Harmonic Generation enabled cloaking?

« on: 29/12/2014 21:20:07 »

Can Second Harmonic Generation be the basis for a visible light cloak?  If we created a waveguide to create non-linearity, then use a prism to split the light into a second harmonic wave and a residual wave, then use wave guides to reflect the second harmonic wave back towards the light source and direct the residual wave towards the opposite side. The second harmonic wave automatically shifts visible light beyond the detectable wavelength detectible by human vision.  With human vision in the 390 to 700 NM range, the second harmonic wave would half the wavelength of the reflected light to the range 195 to 350 NM which is out of normal vision parameters.

New Theories / What happens to light in an infinite frequency doubler loop?

« on: 28/12/2014 15:52:16 »

In a frequency doubler the frequency of the light wave is doubled while the wavelength is halved.  If an apparatus could be made to loop the lightwave back into the input of the doubler what would be the effect on the lightwave as the serialized number of events approaches infinity?

New Theories / Is a censured Internet detrimental to an economy?

« on: 27/12/2014 07:37:02 »

Research and idea formation depend on information.  The more references from as many multiple disciplines as possible allows the genius in us to connect ideas to synthesize them to coalesce them into groundbreaking discoveries.  However limiting the entire available set of information by some arbitrary political or religious standard will ultimately lead the society that imposed the limits not to find the answers it needs to excel.  These societies will certainly be able to operate within their limited frame of reference, but the smaller number of successes at groundbreaking innovation will give that society a competitive disadvantage as other societies pull further and further ahead.  To limit the Internet, to censure it denies their thinkers amongst their general populace the ability to see all the connected ideas limiting their success at synthesizing solutions to problems from the available set of information.  I have often wondered how European countries could have advanced so much faster than ancient civilizations that themselves were the foundations of European technology.  Even in Europe it wasn't until they threw off the restrictive political and religious shackles did they fast forward in thought development and technologic advance.  And America a microcosm of that societal change grew from an insignificant colony to one of the most powerful nations on the planet.  The truly sad part of this is that those restrictive societies, but for comparison to the unrestricted successful competitor societies, will never realize the problem, they for political or religious ideals would rather die than admit they were wrong.

New Theories / Will curing cancer lead to immortality and immunological disease cures?

« on: 26/12/2014 22:57:20 »

It seems body mechanisms inducing abnormal cell growth act in opposition to mechanisms inducing abnormal cell death.  People with brain cell damaging Alzheimer's have less incidence of cancer and vice versa.  A build up of Farnesyl compounds and progerin cause early cell death, and it seems to me to be part of the mechanism used by the body to rid us of cells with damaged DNA.   That these mechanisms are active indicates DNA damage has occurred or that the body has perceived biomimetic chemical signals making the body think the damage has occurred.  This body response is nominally to clear the damaged cells and allow for DNA repair.  If we correct Alzheimer's do we leave us open to increased cancer rates?  If we stop cancer will we stop Alzheimers and stop the expressions of proteins which tend to shorten telomeres, letting us live longer lives? If we had only undamaged DNA copies, theoretically we could artificially increase our telomeres indefinitely.

New Theories / Can the wobble of planets warn us of asteroids?

« on: 26/12/2014 08:40:38 »

Can we utilize planets in the solar system as an advanced warning system of asteroid threats to earth?  Can we utilize the gravitational shifts to the outer planets as a remote sensor grid detecting the wobble induced on them by asteroid threats?  I had been thinking of the possibility of us sending satellites to outer spherical locations surrounding our planet distant enough to give us early warning of asteroids, by measuring the gravitational shift of the satellite.  Then it occurred to me we already have a constellation of satellites, namely, planets, dwarf planets and permanent large asteroids that could perform the same function.  We know where these objects are and where they should be in the near future and could detect shifts in their positions or orbital axis to extrapolate both size and trajectory of any large asteroid moving towards our sun.
