He was the father of Quantum physics, even though he had to be dragged into it kicking and screaming at first. At first, he hated what he found. He didn't want to go there!
No, it's a fact, as it has been observed literally billions of times (subatomic particles in an accelerator decay at a slower rate because of their high speed). They even flew atomic clocks around the globe and demonstrated that they had experienced less time passing. This particular phenomenon is about as ironclad as you get in an experimental science...
Better than the suppository form. But hey, the O Boy will be out of office sooner or later.
I believe they mean "affects".
I'm soooooo glad I stopped doing Acid in the 70's. I highly recommend your at least cutting back.
Those who dabble on the far end of quantum physics, like Peter Wolf, claim love behaves like a photon, and multiplies itself. Hate, on the other hand, is anti-matter. It destroys, and becomes a black hole.
Hey, that’s my line!
Yep, an all purpose transporter would also be an all purpose object synthesizer, in principle. Driving it with sufficient information to synthesize that pretty date you wanted, rather than some rubber doll, might be tricky. Think petabytes or more....
John’s statement that God is love gets deep into the concept that Christians commonly call the trinity, the 3-part nature of a God that exists independently of the universe we know. There is a Son and a Father who can express love towards one another, and a Spirit who acts as a kind of messenger or intermediary, all rolled up into a single omnipotent deity (not the distinct multiple deities of pantheistic systems). Things that God creates (magnetism, etc.) can reflect or illlustrate this love, but they aren’t the same thing as that love.
Enterprise has suffered long term effects from gravity. Trust me on this.
The affects have an effect.....
This deserves your attention.
I have had zero training in physics of any kind unless you call a college course in physical science as something close.
It is always sort of fun to daydream about light and time etc.
One can easily imagine that there is only one force making everything in the universe behave the way it does. that would obviously be God. One thing which does make me wonder is the Universe seems to be limitless just like an omnipotent God.
I did'nt understand what gravity is. After reading this, I don't understand what "influenced" means. This article is muddying the waters and confusing the crap out of me. When I hit a nail with a hammer, I know I influenced the nail. Tell me exactly how these particles are influencing each other without actual contact, to create gravity.
That sounds awfully like ‘ether’.........
An analogy: THIS thread on Free Republic...
But fermions and bosons are not fundamental particles. This is just a description of the symmetry and statistical laws they obey. The particles we have are the quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons: photons, gluons, gravitons, W/Z particles. Combinations of quarks and combinations of leptons can be either bosons or fermions. The gauge particles -- which mediate energy or "force" are all bosons.
Maybe the idea is that the universe is crammed with a network of... something. Something that science doesn’t know about and whose interactions with physical objects that science does know about does not have to conform to the known behavior of these physical objects. It wouldn’t be quite an “ether.” It wouldn’t need to be “supernatural” in the literal sense, but might be difficult to distinguish from such an entity.
“Why couldn’t the quantum, which is eveywhere and in everything, have enough mass, if evenly distributed, to hold things down? It would be sort of like living on a planet surrounded by undectable jello - an energy “aura”.”
What’s the difference between imagining that scenario and concocting a “luminiferous ether” or “dark matter” to make your theory work? Aren’t these just theoretical “fudge factors” used as a crutch to prop up an apparently flawed theory?
It seems like scientists sometimes try to reimagine reality to conform to their theory, rather than reimagine their theory to conform to reality.
