New Theories / Could Gravity be an emergent property?

« on: 23/01/2021 20:24:05 »

I was wondering if gravity couldn't be an emergent property of the strong and weak necular forces?

Gravity doesn't effect them,  which would make sense if they created Gravity.

That CAN'T be true! / Could SARS cov 2 be a mutation of SARS cov1?

« on: 22/01/2021 23:18:25 »

I was pondering if the SARS cov1 of 2002 might never have been fully resolved,  and slowly over the last 18 years spread and mutated somewhere undetected?

COVID-19 / Would a nasal spray vaccine be better for SARS cov2?

« on: 22/01/2021 22:40:58 »

I was wondering if a nasal spray vaccine would be better to vacinate people against SARS cov2 as it would mimic the normal transmission method. Is there any evidence to support the notion that vaccine administered in a similar way as natural transmission occurs are more effective?

I pondered weather injecting a virus into the blood stream or muscle tissue might change the immune response.

That CAN'T be true! / Appeals to a scientific majority....

« on: 21/01/2021 14:24:58 »

Surely an appeal to a scientific majority be that 51% of scientists believe or 90% believe; are simply another form of appeal to authority?

An appeal to the authority of the majority.

That CAN'T be true! / How can a question be fake news?

« on: 21/01/2021 13:36:42 »

I recently started a thread that asked the question. Could the covid vaccine effect female fertility?

This was not a statement but a question related to the concerns expressed by some scientists. As such how can it possibly be labelled fake news?

It has also now been closed, which again seems very unscientific way to behave, stopping discussion...

That CAN'T be true! / How long should a Vaccine Trial take?

« on: 21/01/2021 13:32:28 »

Since infection is an exponential function, we can measure time linearly as log(COVID deaths). How many years would have been acceptable in your view?

The trail phases for vaccines are fairly well established science.  If there was no pandemic as an excuse no scientist would or should accept the current program of 3 months for phase one and a combined 8 months for phases 2 and 3.

Reducing years of study down to a matter on months I consider reckless.

Interestingly  the Lancet published yesterday:-

The ability of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines to prevent infection or ongoing transmission remains unclear.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(21)00045-X/fulltext

As such I have trouble understanding why the current covid vaccine has been authorised at all, according to the Lancet article it has not clearly shown the ability to prevent infection or transmission.

Technology / How far away are robots to better sort waste for recycling?

« on: 15/01/2021 02:49:00 »

How far are we from developing robotic assistance to sort waste to better facilitate waste management and recycling?

Would a robotic waste management facility be more realistic?

Or would it be more practical and less environmentally damaging to have robotic equipment either in the home or on each street?

That CAN'T be true! / Co2 reduction is GREEN WASH?

« on: 29/12/2020 19:23:42 »

"Our factory is built on land that was once use by an endangered species of Lizard, but we're carbon natural"

"Part of production  process releases mercury into the water table, but were carbon neutral"

"The fracking operation is massively increasing local pollution, but we're carbon neutral"

"We chopped down half the forest but thanks to the new carbon offset scheme we're carbon neutral"

"We dump our effluent into the river to save money, but we're carbon natural"


What is wrong with this picture?

That CAN'T be true! / Are electric cars environmental greenwash?

« on: 26/12/2020 04:22:28 »

Arguing that electric cars are more environmentally friendly because they are electric as many do while ignoring the real environment damage that is comming more from the mining of the materials to make the cars and the system of overall production, beside the fact that the energy source that powers the vehicle can also be highly damaging to the environment, seems to me rather rediculas.

Hence I consider the suggestion that electric cars are more environmentally friendly as merely an expression of green wash.

There will surely be no environmentally friendly vehicles until the entire production line, energy sourses, waste and repair management are also environmentally friendly.

This goes down the line with everything we produce I would argue, as such the issue has never been consumption it has always been production.

If products are created in an environmentally friendly way, sustainably,  with limited waste that doesnt damage the environment, there should be no issue at all with consumption.

Yet somehow producers have managed to shift the blame for their production choices onto consumers, when often consumers have no idea about the actual production methods in use by a given company and they certainly do have the ability or time to check every available product or necessarily they dont even have the necessary skills to identify what is or is not environmentally sustainable and that's also with in a background where companies seek to hide their negative behaviours intentionally.

Ergo throwing all the blame on to consumers is a joke and a half.

I heard recently that 100 companies produce 70% of the worlds Co2, it has been a rather long standing statistic that corporate business practice accounts for around 75% of all environment damage and pollution, yet somehow its consumers that are to blame?

The constant mantra about lowering consumption which is comming from the corporate sector that is in control of the environmental narrative as they fund the research, own the media companies and are driving the ideas and are using their position simply to lay the blame where it doesn't belong.

Ofcourse they want to maximize profits and not pay the true cost of their business practice. But if that practice isn't addressed as the principle issue,  I argue no amount of change is going to achieve anything.

Ultimately the corporate sector made the problem and it appears rather then actually attend the issue they seeking to carry on regardless but force mankind to compensate their failures and lack of willingness to pay the true cost of their production.

I find it hard to believe those responsible will ever be capable of solving this problem. Ergo we need a better option.

Suggestions welcome.

"The vaccinations are expected to produce antibodies against spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2. However, spike proteins also contain syncytin-homologous proteins, which are essential for the formation of the placenta in mammals such as humans. It must be absolutely ruled out that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 could trigger an immune reaction against syncytin-1, as otherwise infertility of indefinite duration could result in vaccinated women."

New Theories / The need for a peoples currency

« on: 13/12/2020 20:41:25 »

It is highly likley in the next few year that we could see all current currencies crashing and mass inflation.

As such I recomend all countries create a people's currency in tandum to their current fiat money.

Silver been used for thousands of years, as Money and has traditionally been seen as the poor man's gold.

I think it may well be time for the people everywhere to organise a publically controlled and owned silver backed currency. 

Or alternatively a metals basket of Silver, palladium, and platinum.

Money is a social tool of exchange and should surely be socially controlled, if anything the recent crashes and the comming one shows that private interests cannot be trusted, with maintaining a stable financial system.

So I suggest a peoples currency, any thoughts?

The Environment / Are we due for a grand solar minimum?

« on: 13/12/2020 20:31:01 »

Every 350 to 400 years the sun enters into a cooling period apparently it is possible the sun has re-entered that phrase now.

As such we could be facing a comming mini ice age.

What are the steps we can take to prepare for this?

What are the farming solutions, considering that the last solar minimum lead to mass crop failures?

New Theories / Reducing sea levels

« on: 01/12/2020 02:26:37 »

Ok so I was pondering the possibility of placing water pumps in the north and south poles as a way to increase the size of the polar caps.

You simply pump water out of the sea and allow it to form snow onto of the existing poll.

If you did it towards the center of the poles the snow should remain frozen.

Thus you would reduce the sea level and increase the size of snow and ice at the poles.

Obviously you would need to pump a lot of water but if worked by a few million litres a week, surely eventually you would see a reduction in sea levels. Or at least not an increase.

Any comments?

You would probably have to desalunate. I assume.

Thought I would try and help you all not sink. Anyway

New Theories / A Three state solution.

« on: 25/11/2020 23:10:00 »

I suggest a three state solution for Israel.

A religious Jewish state.

A Palestinian state.

And a secular Jewish state somewhere else in the world.

Suggestion for where are welcome

New Theories / The Sanhendrin

« on: 25/11/2020 23:04:43 »

For anyone that has read the Torah  the Sanhendrin is made up of elected representatives from each of the 12 tribes.

As far a new theory I would simply suggest that as the mixed multitude followed Moses out of Egypt and then entered into the 12 tribes at a start of Moses receiving the Torah that,

Today any newly formed Sanhendrin would have to represent all Jewish people to be valid, as such it seems most prudent to allow each of the different groups within the Jewish faith to become a tribe. The kataites as a tribes, beta-Israeli as a tribe, Hasidics as a tribe, so on and so forth until all the different Groups are accounted for and they really are tribes actually, when you think about it, they are often very tribal in their outlook and positions.

Once formed each tribe can elect representatives to be in the Sanhendrin from amongst themselves.

Of course I'm sure some Rabbinic Jews as an example would want a Sanhendrin that is only full of rabbinics and seek to then impose their ideas on all other Jews, and I'm sure there are members of every Jewish group that would want their type of Judaism imposed on all the rest, and that is simply little more then an egotistical power grab by those that would seek it, which isnt the point of the Sanhendrin.

It seems clear that the Sanhendrin were initially introduced to resolve problems local leaders could not resolve and as such those resolutions were for the people involved only; they were not meant to be decrees set for the entire Jewish people but meant for the parties in that case soley.

I would suggest any rules that the Sanhendrin would agree for the whole of the Jewish people would be extremely rare.

Justice found, is like a snowflake, and must be unique to each case, which takes a lot of consideration to truly find.

In many cases it is difficult to actually find a justice that brings peace to all concerned, it is often very hard to achieve, and takes serious deliberation.

New Theories / New health service.

« on: 15/11/2020 15:15:56 »

It seems clear that since Thatcher there has been a concerted effort to destroy the NHS.
It also seems clear that that agenda continued by consecutive governments since Thatcher has almost come to an end. We are soon to see a fully Privatised NHS.

As such maybe it's time, that the people build their own health care system that government cant destroy.  I suggest all interested parties from doctors and nurses, to the people that want an NHS style system to continue, to create a not for profit NGO that could administer the health care system for those interested.

It seems it may well be on the people to do it themselves as government has decided it works for private interests and against the interests of it's people.

Physiology & Medicine / How do you test a covid test?

« on: 31/10/2020 20:25:25 »

How do you test a test for covid 19?

I heard some speculation that maybe the covid tests themselves are contaminated with covid, if true those contaminating the tests could control the numbers of infected peoples.

There was a report for Africa where an African leader tested different things around his home and was given a positive test result from objects. 

How could we then tests the tests to ensure that wasnt happening?

New Theories / Voluntary Taxation for social services?

« on: 13/04/2020 22:53:23 »

Quiet simply.

You could fund the NHS and "free" Transportation services by allowing people the freedom to voluntarily choose to play the taxation towards it, and also allow people the right to refuse to pay tax for it.

Hence with transportation every voluntary tax payer would be given a transport card that allows them to travel. And all those refusing to pay the tax, and all tourists, would have to buy a ticket. The same could be achieved with the health care system.

Voluntary Taxes- those that believe in socialised services pay tax for them those that don't,  do not... it's the win win of personal choice.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / GEOMETRIC UNITY Eric Weinstein

« on: 07/04/2020 22:42:36 »

Eric Weinstein: "There are two origin stories for Pysics there is the space time of Einstein and the other is SU3 cross SU2 cross SU1 and what I did was get rid of the freedom to choose the symmetries that generate the personalities of the particles that make up this place....
I gave away the freedom of the symmetries to generate the particle properties, I tried my hands, the way Einstien would tie his hands, and then I tried to show you could recover these particles properties by trusting that they would self assemble and that's the hands drawing hands.

So the idea is that I generated the fermions ontop of the space of all the rulers and pertractors on top of the four dimensions, and the natural object which would be called 'Spinners' or 'chimeric spinners' when perceived on the four dimension object, that is when you pull the information back from the second world that got created into the first from the pitch into the stands.

The particle properties more or less appear to be the right particle properties of the particles we see...

So this is a weird theory to deal with the incompatibility of the two theories general relativity of Einstien and quantum theory of Bohr and Dirac. The two branches of physics are derived from two geometries so rather then saying it's about quantizing geometry which is the quantum field theory imperial perspective 'Einstein must submit to Bohr' .
The real issue is there is fight between the parents that is Bernard Riemann and Charles Ehresmann. My goal was to say 'is there any world in which these two geometries and the advantages of these two geometries could be made to play together?' And in general there isn't.  But there is one case in which it works which is the issue of natural spinners.  So the whole gambit was to say 'what if the world is not a generic world but a very natural and peculiar world where certain games would work that would not work in a generic world?'
So I tried to recover Einstein the way Einstein tried to recover Newton from a more fundamental theory"

Any thoughts?
