New Theories / Grand Canyon Formation By Anti-matter
« on: 06/05/2023 16:11:46 »
Grand Canyon Formation  a Coronation Revelation
Just visited the south side and was amazed to see the layers of our planet’s historic topology staring at me.  See pictures courtesy of US national parks.    https://www.nps.gov/grca/learn/nature/grca-geology.htm 
Geologists believe that this 250 km long 25 km wide canyon was formed around 2 to 4 million years ago but cannot explain how.  Well, neither could I as if a huge asteroid collided with earth in the east west direction then the crater would be huge with smashed out rocky matter blasted forward of which there is no evidence.
But if the asteroid was made of positron enclosed anti-matter then what we see makes sense as a 25 km wide chunk of anti-matter coming in at a low angle would hit the surface of the planet and bouncing slightly as it moved forward leaving a ragged path as it annihilated kilogram for kilogram of planetary electron enclosed matter magnoflux stuff could leave behind a canyon deep enough to expose the earth’s mantle that formed over 2 thousand million years ago.
Asteroids can attain velocities of 50 km/second which means the Grand Canyon could have been formed in just 5 seconds but the annihilation of the adjacent atmosphere would have certainly sucked all trees and vegetation out of the ground tens of kilometres around the site and the Colorado river later forced to find a new way inside the canyon.
If the asteroid were a 25 km cube then around 5x10^14 tons of planetary matter would have been annihilated resulting in what we see now.

Physiology & Medicine / Octogenarians rights in NHS to refuse treatment & allowed to Die with Dignity
« on: 13/11/2022 04:49:55 »
Normal people have the right to treatment of their illnesses and once the patient understands their medical condition; are able to agree to start the cure process prescribed by their doctors.
Now If they refuse treatment then the NHS will need to send them home or they will be bed blocking.

What happens if an Octogenarian who is no longer working or actively supporting the nation economy falls and breaks a hip with no-one at home and decides to refuse treatment?
Investigation reveals that their partner died recently and all their friends are dead; and confirms that they live alone with no home help or carer meaning returning them home is impractical..
So can that Octogenarian demand the right to end their life now or within a week and die with dignity either at home with a 3 weeks sleeping pills or in a hospice?
How can the NHS assist Octogenarian to die with dignity without appearing to be biased in any legal way??

The Environment / Global Warming. long term effects.
« on: 07/08/2022 13:49:20 »
Politicians should not panic about warming as it is a natural reaction to the increase in world population.
There are 4 times as many people now that in 1945 at end of WW2 who need to be fed with carbohydrates, meat and live in new warm houses and drive cars to work.  It is their human right to have all these things.
So the increase in CO2 is to be expected as a necessity and we must live with it.
But hydrocarbon fuels must be preserved for transport and as much solar, wind , tidal, nuclear developed for electric and heat generation as is financial practical but not by expensive panic investments.
Sea weeds like kelp are ideal for sequesting  carbon dioxide into the oceans and these grow extremely quickly.

See

So CO2 is not so much a problem but we must bubble the CO2 from power plants into deep sea water which is a slow process but possible but what of the sea level rises?


"The PSMSL WWW page reports the 2013 IPCC WG1 statement that 

"It is very likely that the mean rate of global averaged sea level rise was 1.7 [1.5 to 1.9] mm/yr between 1901 and 2010, 2.0 [1.7 to 2.3] mm/yr between 1971 and 2010 and 3.2 [2.8 to 3.6] mm/yr between 1993 and 2010. Tide-gauge and satellite altimeter data are consistent regarding the higher rate of the latter period"

So it looks as if the sea rise will be around 36 mm per decade or one and a half inches which should be easily containable.

We must live with that climate change until we can slow world population growth.  Now the saving grace is that fully industrialised nations have a negative population growth rate because educated people realize that having more than 2 children is expensive.

Thus the need to educate developing economies and encourage family planning is thus obviously the way forward to improve their standard of living with all the advantages of high standards of living that prosperous states provide..

New Theories / Spectrum emitted by anti-matter. Are the hydrogen lines absorption??
« on: 04/06/2022 16:07:17 »
 
Scientists at giant collider and Tokamak installations are checking their records to identify the hydrogen plasma emission line frequencies spectrums to see if they are bright or dark.
  If spectrum lines are dark then that would mean that the sun our star is made of anti matter which will lead to huge electro-static voltages across space and explain the dark energy repelling force that is expanding our universe.
Similarly the sun our star can shine spinning magnoflux current in the form of electro-magnetic light to our planet through the dark matter force inside the solar wind.

Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Monkeypox: Could it be similar to cowpox, and just a mild variant of smallpox?
« on: 25/05/2022 09:13:15 »
Most of the elder generation will remember having a cow pox scratch as a child. It was given to immune you from small pox which is a far more serious disease .   Attached is a Wikipedia article on cow pox.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowpox .
Why is there a rumour being spread by TV that monkey pox could be the start of some sort of national epidemic when it could just be a pharmaceutical promotion for extra sales of their vaccines now that Covids are no longer necessary?

New Theories / Crap New Theory of size and shape of single optical photon?
« on: 23/06/2021 10:09:41 »
A photon of spinning magnetic magnoflux 3D quantum energy can change shape as it moves up and down in a square shape meaning it looks like a double pyramid pulsing from positive to negative charge like a charged pair.

The Environment / Will Kelp forests save the coral from climate change
« on: 16/04/2021 18:51:54 »
A sky news report tonight, on climate change highlighted the importance of kelp to grow inside coral reefs to protect them.  So what is Australia and Florida doing to protect our coral reefs?

New Theories / BBC1 report on the need for a fifth force to spin stars in galaxies
« on: 07/04/2021 19:03:34 »
New Universe Fifth Force is the Magnoflux Spin Effect Force.

The new force that spins galaxies around blackholes and planets around stars is a magnetic spin force.   BBC report this evening identifies the force predicted by Magnoflux hypothesis a decade ago. #nasa #energy #bbcnews #scienceandtechnology

The Environment / 7.7 billion people and counting: what can we do about human over-population?
« on: 29/03/2021 10:12:59 »
Well done Chris Packham for a super Horizon program on BBC2 last night. The World Health Organisation monitors show world population now 7.9 billion already up by 200 million    https://www.worldometers.info/population/   .
We need to plan ahead and reduce this increasing population to save the planet.  Here are some ideas
1.  Reduce childbirth by contraceptive pills and educating young girls to feel free, safe and secure if un-married.
2. Reduce elderly population by encouraging euthanasia for those who cannot look after themselves at home
3. Allow God to choose who lives or dies when He sends a pandemic to protect us from overpopulation.
4.  Have a world war noting that Chris sees this as negative as it causes a baby boom due to insecurity.

Cells, Microbes & Viruses / How can we test new vaccines quickly?
« on: 08/02/2021 15:50:43 »
First UK, then South African and now Brazilian mutate.  We have got to get our act together and set up a fast track testing on guinea pigs who will not sue us if some side effects occur..  Any suggestions??

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How does quantum mechanics describe a magnetic spin force?
« on: 04/01/2021 17:36:28 »
Can the quantum theory designate the x,y&z positions of a force at right angles to the direction of propagation, and decide what would happen if the force was not exactly at 90 degrees?

Technology / Why do cars fail an MOT just because an indicating warning light is on?
« on: 29/12/2020 15:32:40 »
Why do cars fail MOT just because an indicating warning light is on.     For example my Nissan Pixo failed because the airbag light remained on ?
Look at this clause 7.1.6[a[ in the attached document     https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/696292/mot-inspection-manual-for-classes-3-4-5-and-7-from-20-may-2018-draft.pdf
In my case, the airbag light remained ON and I was told that the car fail as the airbag must be faulty which would cost around £400 from the main dealer.  So I investigated and removed steering wheel cover etc and found the airbag was OK and had a reading of 2 ohms.
Next, I looked on line and people were talking about loose wiring under the drivers seat which goes to the seatbelt switch which was faulty.  However, it took me some time to track down a replacement seatbelt post with contacts in side and hence will have to pay for another MOT test.
BUT, why is this classified as a major fault a failure anyway, when it is obviously a minor defect and in fact, many cars have a switch to disable the airbag from operating?
I am sure there are many other indication/electronic failures which are listed as major faults when they are minor and hopefully can be revised now we are leaving Europe.

New Theories / New Theory: The earth is getting lighter, does that affect the moon?
« on: 10/12/2020 10:43:43 »
The sun is losing matter and energy all the time and the solar planets, moons and asteroids are absorbing that energy for re-emission.  But the solar wind is H+ ions which land on planets can be converted to matter inside the planets core which is why the tectonic plates that separate our oceans over millions of years move apart.

Technology / FLAMMABLE CLADDING BELOW 10TH FLOOR COULD BE SAFE.
« on: 24/11/2020 19:09:40 »
The housing market is suffering because of a misunderstanding of who is safe in a multi story building.  Well, the height to which the brigades ladders will reach is the limit right. 
So we do not need to strip all cladding immediately only that above the 10th floor although in the long term all the plastic cladding should be removed and replaced with non flammable asbestos impregnated type cladding and cold not this save the government taxpayers money?

The Environment / Should train timetables be limited during lockdown to save energy?
« on: 01/11/2020 16:24:52 »
With another lockdown imminent it is time to reduce the train and bus schedules to a Sunday reduced service only.  Running buses and trains less than a quarter full should be discouraged or even banned as it is wasteful of energy and causes unnecessary pollution.
Now, we are all masked up even rushhour trains should be reduced in length by 50% and others by 75%. 
Double decker buses can be mothballed and mini buses used to feed single coach buses on more crowded routes.
Covid19 has revolutionised our needs, but can produce a real environmental bonus rather than a hazard.

Technology / Which electric motor is best for electric bikes and scooters?
« on: 29/09/2020 10:29:52 »
Motorcycle News latest edition states that Honda,  Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki are jointly developing new battery packs for bikes but where is the British version being developed??  England used to lead the world in technical development and specification.
 Which university will take up this challenge????   We need to specify which type of motor AC or DC brushed or unbrushed is most reliable, then find the most economic variable speed control and finally specify the battery size, shape and connector. [ which Japan is about to take the lead in.]
I am convinced that the government would help universities fund such a research project which could spin off into new manufacturing opportunities and employment for thousands of people.

The Environment / Why do the TFL run empty trains and buses that pollute the London air?
« on: 22/09/2020 10:54:00 »
Why is it that almost all the underground trains and overground buses are empty most of the time??
Well, the city must provide a scheduled train and bus services so that the old/infirmed can visit doctor or hospitals and of course children need to travel to school. 
[i]So the rate payers pay for this service whether they use it or not.[/i] So it follows that rate payers should be entitled to free transport along with all pensioners and school children and of course those on benefit need to be exempt from paying.
If TFL introduced this "free for rate payers" it could well over-crowd the transport system but improve every-ones lives by reducing car journeys and pollution.
If and only if the trains or buses are overcrowded should the mayor authorise TFL to charge rate payers a premium.  Running an empty train or bus is counter productive, a total waste of money and of course a cause of pollution.

Technology / Which hybrid run-about car meets this specification?
« on: 01/09/2020 10:53:52 »
1] Engine capacity under 1,100 cc for out of town use.
2] Electric transmission
3] Battery capable of driving just 20 miles inside a city
4] Fuel tank large enough to go 200 miles.
5] Four seats with 2 doors and lift-up rear boot door
9] Key operated ignition and driver door.
This is basically a city electric run-about car + occasional trips out.
Can only afford £10,000 though; so which car do you recommend?

Technology / Who is designing the English version of a urban Electric Vehicle???
« on: 10/07/2020 13:07:13 »
According to the motor magazines Toyota and developing the following vehicle " as-yet-unnamed two-seater is referred to as an ultra-compact battery electric vehicle (EV) and has been designed “for short-distance travel with limited impact on the environment”. It is 2490mm long, 1290mm wide and 1550mm high and built to meet new micro car regulations in Japan.

With a claimed range of 62 miles, an "extremely tight" turning radius of 3.9m and a top speed of just 37mph, the model is aimed squarely at drivers in built-up urban environments, and more specifically the elderly. Charging time is a claimed five hours from a 220-volt power unit. 
See https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-tokyo-motor-show/toyota-launch-two-seat-ev-2020.

Citroen are developing the AMI  " A quadricycle also jinks around car crash-safety rules, but then it’s limited to 45kph, or 28mph. The underfloor battery is small and cheap, providing a range of just 60-ish miles – still surely more than a day’s city driving – and the motor drives the rear wheels.
The two seats are decently roomy, with space for bags around them. At 2.5m long, it parks end-on to the kerb. Parisians always park in a space smaller than their car, so they’d probably just drive this one right into the cafe."
See      https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/new-citroen-ami-car-14-year-olds   for more details.

For sure these electric cars will be the only cars allowed in cities in possibly the next decade so where is the English version?? Boris needs a nudge,  why with high unemployment here cant we start making our own???

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How do hot gases absorb light?
« on: 04/03/2020 20:39:14 »
I must apologies for having upset the classical approach to physics and will do my best to tow the line in future to stop being banned and moved into new theory again. 
I understand that the reason for the stars having absorption spectrum is that the gases in the corona reverse the spectrum.  Could you please refer me to a link that details any experiment here on earth using a hot emitter viewed through a steamy gaseous medium that has reversed the spectrum please.
