My "Swirl Theory"
We hear of string theory, the Big Bang and many other ideas.
I have come up with this idea over the past several days. Katrina and Rita has turned my attention towards this as I have discovered a new theory as of late that black holes may be present at the center of each galaxy.
Using the theory that a black hole could have possibly been created in space by gases which collapsed into itself churning and sucking gasses and space debris around it into a swirling vortex. This swirling vortex of gas eventually condensed into planets and solar systems.
Here comes my theory.
I began looking at our galaxy as a hurricane in the ocean. (No I'm not stoned!) O.K. maybe :o)_~~```
If you see a picture of both you will see the physical resemblance. It doesn't stop there just keep reading.
If we look at the black hole as the eye of the storm we can then picture it forming as a hurricane.
Maybe a black hole is a great mass condensed into a microscopic particle which warps the fabric of space because of it's weight. That's what some scientists say.
Although, it could be like the eye of a hurricane with it's pressure pushing down on the water directly below it with great force. This pressure from the eye ("black hole") is pushing on the fabric of space to warp it in such a manner it will create the cone that swallows everything.
Perhaps this storm (black hole) was caused by gases like a tropical depression creates a hurricane.
The hurricane then swirls and gathers up all surrounding clouds water and vapor to feed itself for growth. Perhaps the black hole gathers surrounding space debris and gases to form our swirling galaxy. As gases and debris swirl they condense to make solar systems and planets.
Hurricanes often spawn tornados. If we look at solar systems as tornados spawn off from the hurricane (galaxy) then it starts to come together (maybe).
These galaxy swirls have spawned smaller swirls creating solar systems that spawned smaller swirls that created planets. Now if we can imagine the planets creating even smaller swirls we can eventually come to our littlest round friends the Atoms. Atoms that are round in shape like our planets.
Earth uses hurricanes to draw energy from the equator. Perhaps this is what galaxies do. Don't know.
Hurricane wind speed and rotation is slower at the outer edge just like stars at the edge of the galaxy. They spin faster as they reach the center (eye).
Perhaps our galaxy is slowly spinning towards the center which may contain a black hole. Not trying to say dooms day but it makes sense like the winds and gases of a hurricane spin towards the eye.
Taking a center point or "eye" of the storm approach to our galaxy is not far fetched. Our planet alone creates these same swirls several times a year and are the largest and most destructive forces we see, on a regular basis. Just looking at a galaxy you see the trademark swirl as if it were swirling towards the center.
One problem with this tornado theory is why is our solar system is not swirling towards it's center (the sun). Well, this I cannot explain among many other problems. We have never seen a hurricane reach full strength without interruption from land, wind or other outside forces. Perhaps the vacuum of space allows for debris to finally condense in the middle of the smaller storms (solar systems) and this is what causes condensed gases to become a hot ball of gas like our sun. Or perhaps these smaller swirls do not have the power to warp space enough to cause a black hole but enough to make a large star.
Now when I say tornado it really throws you off because A tornado does not have the same physical characteristics as a hurricane. I believe the large Hurricane like swirl of our galaxy causes smaller (but similar in physical properties) swirls which over time condense smaller more local gasses and debris to form planets around it's eye (i.e. the sun).
If smaller and smaller hurricane type swirls were created by larger swirls then we could (I THINK) mathematically come up with swirls small enough to condense and make atoms.
So, did strings create these atoms or did microscopic swirling gases or swirling "something"? I'm not the physicist.
My Two Cents.....if it's worth that :o)
I prefer a molecular whip. It would have a handle and the entire whip would only be a filament one atom in width. Swing it around and it should cut through anything. Add some juice to it wo cause an electrical jolt to your target. Plus, if ever it breaks, since it is only one atom in width, you could have a coil of it, much like a fishing reel, so it would be easy to re-lengthen the filament.
Very different.
Not all galaxies are spiral.
It is actually the outflow that gives the hurricane its shape.
Why am I wasting my time on this?
You're talking about a light-sabre. While originally developed for the logging industry and the Outback Steak House for tough steaks, it was quickly adopted by the Dark Side to be used against the Jedi's
Personally, I thought phasers were a far superior weapon (If set on "destroy" rather than "stune") since they could be used at a distance and didn't require the hand to hand stuff...
Because protons are a component of matter. A proton hitting a proton would not shear (cut). And, all matter has at least one proton.
The trick would be to get the positrons to travel in a a very extended oval, a flat loop, and keep them there, otherwise your beam would just keep going, and going...
Your's is as fine a theory as is out there.
I have a Pizza Theory ...Im working on it
string cheese ,etc
I'm "stuned"! :) (or is that "stoned"?)
I like my theories shaken, not stirred.
"I have a Pizza Theory ...Im working on it"
Sounds delicious!
I'll be the first to admit quantum physics is out of my league right now.
Proton beams are already used in cancer therapy to destroy tumors.
I know. Still, protons wouldn't work because protons are a component of ordinary matter. What's needed is a component of antimatter -preferably a positron (an anti-electron)
The three components of matter: Proton, neutron and electron.
The three components of antimatter:
Antiproton, antineutron and positron.
