The detector must be a booger to calibrate!

Nope all it takes is someone else's money.

It was a simple chemistry class for me with how the concept of “half life” worked with decaying unstable elements.

It was like i was an alien........just accept the concept and move on.

My point was that particles are stable at certain conditions, what allows or controls those conditions? I started thinking that maybe there was a “Universal” frequency that allows electrons and protons to vibrate at a specific “normal” condition. (Like electrons traveling like a hula hoop. But if the frequency is off, too few protons and not enough neutrons to allow proper spacing that the nucleus is off and creates radioactive decay......?)

Anyways, I didn’t get an answer and the teacher didn’t have a clue and you go through the life with questions that the “experts” never asked and don’t think about.

Like the “extra” planet, the ninth that must exist because of mathematical formulas..........why do we never question the formulas and always assume they are right? Seriously, this has been on news sites over the last few months, even though we have not seen it, it must be there.

It was these formulas that physicist taught in Ivy League schools that said Mercury wasn’t showing up at the right time on the other side of the sun as it was predicted.........and then came Einstein! Um......so the experts were wrong.

Have these “experts” forgotten that history lesson form almost exactly 100 years ago already?

Which leads me to the CRAZY concept that the PH.D. experts and such with formulas “predicting” the ECONOMY are simply repeating words in a text book while never fulling understanding how the pieces fit together.

Hence why the economy is falling apart and no one knows why, but everyone pretends they figured it out..............experts.........

Also, Tesla, the crazy genius that everyone forgets about. ((Invented the rotary motor we use in most electrical device, the idea around the alternating current that we all use for our electricity, and even the Tesla coil (something we have only begun to tap into with the “recharge pads” for our remotes and cell phones.))

He wrote a century ago that he thought “gravitational fields” are instant, and not the speed of light........!?!?

He also said he communicated with “beings” on Mars using this type of communication.....so maybe he lost it.

But, isn't the “quantaum entanglement” theory, the essence and proof of INSTANT change, regardless of the distance?

Crazy, crazy crazy!

But the economy is great and anyone that questions it is, “pedaling nonsense.”

The economists and GLobal warming people are having the same problem. If you look at all the data, and the data aren't 'corrected' except to establish a standard for comparison (such as dollar values), you can't make valid comparisons.

Both groups fudge data for political reasons, so GIGO. (Garbage In, Garbage Out).

Science is the process of letting the evidence talk to you. Presuppositions (hypotheses) are just guesses as to how things work. When a person becomes so emotionally attached to their hypothesis they want to alter or ignore the data, they start moving away from getting the correct answer.

If the hypothesis doesn't work, it is not the answer, go back to the data and let it tell you what affects what.

Economists can't achieve much because the noise to signal ratio is so high. Just like our wonderful economic recovery. Plug in that we are having a recovery and nothing makes sense. Let the data show what is going on, and the picture will come into focus.

That is precisely where I was going with my question. The first response was that the effect was "instantaneous", to which I replied "But that would be faster than light."

That's when his demeanor changed and the threat came. I was on a scholarship and could not afford an 'F'...

Everyone forgets about Tesla who based all of his work (as did Einstein) on the 4 vector equations (converted from field equations out of 200 by a self-educated man) giving us everything we know about the entire electromagnetic spectrum from a man who is even less well-known then Tesla and whose name and works are totally forgotten: James Clerk Maxwell, the Man Who Changed Everything.

Vertigo seems to be a common complaint these days. So sorry to hear yours (vertigo episodes) are so disruptive. I’ve had random attacks since the 90’s, seem to be triggered by stress, fluctuating barometers (wind drives me bonkers), loud noise, rapid motion, etc. Possibly related to migraine or meniere’s disease. Hope you find relief - take care.

If space is full of nothing, how is it distorted?

My is related to meniere’s disease. There are eye-movement exercises that help a lot, but I never quite know what will trigger an attack.

Take care as well.
