    What is the nature of entropy ?

    Catastrophe, you're the only one here who forbears my wild comments (surely because, as a veteran, you feel it's your duty to be a polite host and encourage all newcomers, no matter how annoying they are), which is why the discussion ended. One can't keep ranting in the desert to the sand and...

    What is the nature of entropy ?

    "(...) I did specify which proposed type of singularity I had an issue with./I am also a proponent of relativity and the existence of black holes, so can't help but wonder what made you think otherwise." -- Curiosity ... and you had previously said: "If our universe is cyclic as I believe it is...

    What is the nature of entropy ?

    I object, Your Honor, on the grounds that such a course of action might jeopardize my legal status.

    What is the nature of entropy ?

    "I most certainly believe that there was a before the erroneously named big bang, as there needs to be an elsewhere/time (...). " -- Curiosity Not according to the illogical idea that something can issue from nothing, foisted upon us ever since a Belgian priest came up with the Primordial Egg...

    What is the nature of entropy ?

    You're not the only one who is puzzled. Unzicker warns that NO ONE knows what that is. Not even Einstein knew what that idea of his really meant. Unzicker is an iconoclast. He is one of those who think that physics is in a state of utter chaos and that we are all being swindled. Physics is...

    What is the nature of entropy ?

    Maybe you meant to say "Minkowski"? Later on you say: "I have the greatest respect for Roger Penrose, but he is a mere mortal like you and I, so I reserve the right to question even him." That means you'll enjoy physicist Alexander Unzicker's YouTube channel called "Unzicker's Real Physics"...

    Question Help Regarding Selecting Best Telescope

    The utter low-level beginner's hardware would be a cute, cheap, hand-held, 30-power, 11-inch-long Tasco scope that looks like what pirates had and can also be used for watching earthly matters like birds, landscapes and neighbors' windows because it shows a right-side-up image. Most...

    Plagiarism in physics

    What appeared here unexpectedly as a box with the Space.com emblem and the first words of the present thread appears in the message, not like that but with an URL that leads here, but it includes the title of a nonexistent thread, followed by a number: "plagiarism-results-in-physics.55367" .

    Plagiarism in physics

    My e-mail inbox had one of those automatic Space.com messages that announce that a new comment has been added to a thread one has been following, and it was supposed to be the first one on this my new thread, but the thread had no comments, and the links were fake ones: there's no one with the...

    Plagiarism in physics

    ...and even as though I walked upon your floors I saw many statues to many gods, and many statues to many thoughts, and I found this one, one that said: "TO AN UNKNOWN THOUGHT" !!!!! **************************************************************************** Today I was shocked to see that...

    Matter and photons are one and the same

    Kimberly, that was a clever way to announce your new theory on the nature of matter-energy to the world, the Sports Pool Theory, which combines online gaming and game theory as developed by von Neumann. I still can't quite grasp the underlying quantum gravity equations involved. That's because...

    Matter and photons are one and the same

    Why does the electron immediately revert to its base energy? -- Jzz Because the oscillation induced by the foreign agent is unmanageable and the intruder must be ejected posthaste? Then he will resume his neverending journey if he finds himself in outer space, according to conventional...

    Matter and photons are one and the same

    "(...) Schrodinger’s wave equation could only describe the hydrogen atom with its single electron." - -Jzz That's quite similar to the case of the Bohr model of the atom, if I remember this correctly. It managed to explain the hydrogen spectral lines arrayed in series, but then, unlike what...

    Matter and photons are one and the same

    "A far better and more fundamental approach would be to try to fathom how the electron channels energy." ( Jzz) That seems to be an allusion to the problem of why electrons keep moving forever around the nucleus even if an accelerating charged particle emits EM radiation and they should...

    Matter and photons are one and the same

    I sent the following message to the Fermilab ... Subject: One of your videos, discussed at Space.com Space.com has a forum section where, in the Solar System forum, I, Starcrow, have started a discussion on Dr. Don Lincoln's YouTube video about how it is that something that is massless, like a...
