The oil companies!

It's all junk without energy. What powers the atom?

I thought we couldn't see light till it hits something solid. If it excited electrons wouldn't the air around us glow?

if you can get it to work fly over and see me in your UFO.

New Theories / Gravity and Strong Force
« on: 14/11/2010 11:21:02 »
If it is an electron in an elongated orbit moving at various speeds that imparts the force of gravity on that atom. I believe it is a signal that imparts a force on this electron. It would seem to be some kind of radiation being emitted from the centre of every planet, moon and star. As yet not duplicated by mankind. If it were an electrostatic force however complex couldn't it be influenced by manmade electrostatic forces?

You seem describe a possible result of gravity in the way it affects atoms but I can't see the cause.

New Theories / Gravity Twist, who postulated this idea?
« on: 08/03/2010 08:15:55 »
Robro, Photons  now have mass?
Can anyone explain the structure of an atom and the particles moving around in them?
With certainty not theories?

New Theories / Why is gravity all attraction toward earth?
« on: 21/02/2010 10:26:46 »
Gravity acts on every atom. If an atom is moved away from the earth it exhibits less gravitational energy the further away it goes. Could the earth be sending a signal which induces the atom to produce a force directing it to the earth?  Could this signal be some form of radiation? Are there any experiments being done in space away from earths gravitational effects.

PMB: If you look up the definition for Mechanical Work (here is one example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)  ) you will see that a force that produces a change in the kinetic energy of a rigid body has done (mechanical) work.

When you drop an object, gravity accelerates the object, therefore gravity has changed the kinetic energy of the object, therefore gravity has done work.
Well put, thanks Geezer I'll work on something to put in new theories

The energy that gravity uses appears to be inside every atom. Think of the energy in an atom as something like a spinning flywheel rotating at close to the speed of light with an insulating layer that stops it from reacting with other atoms around it.
Gravity could be a form of radiation (as yet undetected) that can penetrate all matter and upset this energy's equilibrium creating the action we know as the force of gravity.
This upsetting action is the actual work that gravity does. A weak force!

Questioner: That does not seem to address the question about work. Perhaps you should start a new topic in "New Theories". Thanks!
Geezer : I think Gravity does it's work at the atomic level inside the atom. Is there any research in this area.

I,m 99% sure your all wrong. Thank God we're all still looking for answers.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / What could cause the earth to lose its gravity?
« on: 31/12/2009 00:52:15 »
Gravity gets weaker as we travel away from the earth so it must be stronger as we get closer to the centre. The density in the centre of the earth must be immense. If you could remove the core of the planet wouldn't it collapse into dust.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / What surrounds stars?
« on: 30/12/2009 23:58:28 »
If there is a possibility of other life in the universe then perhaps some ufo's are real. If so they would have covered vast distances to visit us approaching light speed or exceeding it or they have an incredibly long life span. What if we are wrong and once you can control gravity you can travel at light speed.

Yep LeeE. It's very frustrating :)

Or if you accept the Higgs field then gravity 'accumulates' around mass. But where would that field come from, and why would it work at all. What's guaranteeing mass to exist even if that field existed? When we see two phenomena directly related to each other it is easy to wonder what came 'first', or did they came 'together'?

That's one of the reasons why I like 'emergences', as it allows them to come 'together' begetting new 'property's' (water to ice)

But if we look at it as having a 'beginning' involving 'forces' then we treat it as a chain of occurrences from a beginning to an end, and then that first 'force' must contain it all, in some manner of speaking, as from it all other will come.

Maybe there are other ways to look at it too?

One of the main things I've been playing with is a bottom-up synthetic approach as an alternative to the top-down analytic approach: instead of analysing downwards through the hierarchy structure from the top, towards the bottom-level fundamental abstract, you start with the bottom-level fundamental abstract and try to synthesise the hierarchy structure upwards.  It's an interesting exercise.
If you want to start at the bottom forget about gravity forming around mass and consider the existence of star dust. A material that planets and stars form around.

If gravity is a weak force and does not change the energy within the atom but affects the equilibrium of the atom.
Think of an atom moving into space away from the earth, as the gravity signal weakens the atom regains equilibrium.

That's an interesting idea. Would I be correct in saying that you are proposing that atoms are subject to "stress" in a gravitational field?
Perhaps, how else would you explain it's reaction at varying distances to the earth. Maybe the gravity signal is undetectable by us at this stage.

Is gravity doing work if the energy that creates the action is within the atom to start with.

Gravity can do work on the mass of an atom, but I don't believe there has been any change in the energy within the atom.

Aren't we all time travelers the past is our memories, our present is as we perceive it and the future is in our imagination.
