While I was in College I loved Physics.

I know all Physics at College Level. Last 10 years has anything
changed Has any new invention made. Has any Einstine or Newton Born Or
all are running for Money and no development in Physics???

I am interested in Nuclear Physics, Super Conductorm Optics, Magnetism
etc. Has any new thing developed or any new concept???

Or Physics is dead.

Ya, I heard Computer Chips are growing fast But thats not Physics.
That is just an improvement of an old concept. I am talking about any
new strange Law Discovered in Science? I think these days Scientists
get a lot of Pay/ Perks but the Output is Zero.

Science is good till it is used Just for Fun.... But if you make
Weapons it is the worst thing in the world.

I'd say recent revelations about small forces, e.g. the Casimir and
Van der Waals effects rank right up there.  Levitation is now a
reality, at least at submicron distances.  Who knows where that
will lead eventually.  Maybe even travel at > c.

Excuse me ?

Most scientific advancement has been through weapons research.

Necessity is the mother of invention....

The necessity to feed one's self.....and especially the necessity to
kill a threat or those that get between you and that nubile young
female with the large hoots.

This, from the European space agency, would have to rank near the top
of the list:
http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/gsp/Experimental_Detection.pdf

This research is showing that gravitic effects are obtained *only*
under conditions of acceleration (or deceleration) of the
superconducting ring. It's the among the first repeatable lab
experiments demonstrating the equivalence of gravity and acceleration.
It also shows that work on modulation or control of gravity is at
about the Franklin's kite stage.

> I am talking about any

Well, gravity-acceleration equivalence was first *described* by
Einstein in his famous "elevator" thought experiment. The European
Space Agency is at the embryonic stage of demonstrating equivalence in
the lab. Here is an abridged outline of the paper just posted:
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/GSP/SEM0L6OVGJE_0.html

Also this Russian guy, a sort of gadfly scientist, has stumbled upon
a superconducting-discharge system that (repeatably) generates wave
impulses that bear the unmistakable signature of *gravitational
waves*. The wave packets can be focused (or collimated), and can
strongly displace pendulums and knock over objects at a distance. And
the waves are of _longitudinal_  polarization (Zinni take note).

It is mostly Engineers who make our modern world though physicists do
play an initial role. It is true that the fundamental concepts have
not changed but that chips have got smaller and faster. We don't yet
have full optical computers or DNA computing etc (or even quantum
computers that can do a real job).  If you compare with 20 years ago
there has been huge changes however - Internet access for nearly all,
mobile phones that have live video chat,DVD writers, small portable
music players that hold GBytes of songs in reasonably high
quality,digital TV transmission,HD TV,laptop computers,palmtop pcs ,
small solidate state memories with vast storeage,solid-state digital
cameras and so on.

As for fundamental Physics, well a few things - slowing down of light
I seem to remember??

A new aspect I have found fascinating is the acceptance of
and the efforts to confirm (if only by inference), higher dimensions.
Many new theories assume 5th, 6th and higher dimensions of
some sort. EM theories that consider higher dimensions make sense.
Entanglement in quantum effects, demand higher dimensions.
Of course then there is string theory that derives from the math of real
3D strings but matches measured phenomena assuming higher dimensions.

Last fundamental discoveries are detection of charged scatterable
elementary particles inside nucleons, quarks up and quarks down,
end of the 1960's.

Detection of highest density elementary scatterable particle, tau,
which is an excited state of the electron, just like the muon, in
the early 1970's.

Except for these, all of your 1950's physics refs are as fresh as
this morning's roses.

The rest has only been hypothetical going in circles for the past
50 years.

..with some notable exceptions being very recent, i.e., the European
Space Agency's pioneering research on gravity-acceleration equivalence
(posted earlier in this thread). They've shown that gravitic effects
occur only under conditions of acceleration (or deceleration). But
these researchers are still locked under the 'no medium', space-as-
void mandate. Thus they remain oblivious to the _accelerating flow of
space itself_ as the causal mechanism of gravity. Until science can
unshackle itself from the rediculous and childish void-space paradigm,
it will never grasp the mechanism of gravity or get past the present
'Franklin's kite' stage of gravity research.

Yeah, like the void-space paradigm(VSP). As stated numerous times
here, all it would take is one simple adjustment to the sitting
paradigm: replace the 'Void' with the hyperpressurized, sub-Planck-
wavelength Plenum of space.. and recognize it as expansible/
compressible and amenable to *density gradients*. This would bring
General Relativity out of its present 'flat earth' status. GR is
currently 'flat' since its math makes no provision for density
gradients such as the one across extreme cosmological distances.
                 Obviously, whether or not space is a universally-
isotropic 'Void' (as it is under the sitting paradigm) has profound
implications in cosmology, such as the ultimate fate of the universe.

I happen to like that artificial gravity wave thing.  However, it
seems that most anything you have to share isn't of what these folks
want to hear.  Why is that?

Isn't it obvious, Brad?  The folks here that don't
want to hear what oc has to share are completely
stuck within the Void Space Paradigm (VSP). They
just can't seem to get the empty space out from
between their ears!  <g>

It's the same paradigmatic dynamic with the status quo that prevailed
under geocentrism. It's simply "the way it is", and nothing can change
it except the passage of time.

What is TRULY amazing though, is how the present paradigm became so
powerfully and totally entrenched in its scarcely 80 years of
existance, compared to the many centuries of geocentrism's reign.
                  The VSP is like in the movie "Alien" where the
thing suddenly hatched out and devoured everything in sight. :-)

Are we talking of our having to tough this one out for hundreds or
thousands of years, or is this swarm like mainstream mindset going to
coexist in the realm of millions of years?

Somewhat born-again Hitler/Bush like, and now the entire world has to
repay the ultimate price.  Now I understand, that the situation has
become essentially hopeless and without remorse regardless of the
consequences, just like in those good old Roman and Zionist days of
folks putting their own kind on a stick for yet another faith-based PR
stunt.

Er, first you announce that the Input is Zero (you haven't
read anything about physics in the last 10 years) and then
conclude from that that the output is zero (you don't know
anything that's happened in the last 10 years, so nothing must
have happened).

I think some pretty interesting things are happening in cosmology.
There are a few mysteries out there, like neutron stars that
don't seem to fit standard stellar evolution models, and an
unexplained nonlinearity in the rate of universe expansion vs.
time. I think we're on the verge of some fundamental new
theories in the evolution of the universe.

Planet-searching is pretty cool too. A lot of new planets have
been discovered in the last few years. That seems to be
really exploding.

  The world of fiber systems has only just begun.
  Magmetism is a dead subject, since all the

Physics has been pretty much dead since relativity and quantum
mechanics became the accepted norm.

Come on, inventing better ways to kill larger and larger numbers of
people is important! Of course computer technology is applied, but
hey, inventing ways to track every detail of the lives of larger and
larger numbers of people IS important!  Improving the reach of Big
Brother IS a very important contribution and governments show
appreciation with welfare for the educated!  Also this keeps them from
thinking too much about the possible implications of what they are
doing. Mindless obedience still has a place even amongst the highly
educated! And you can expect a nice reward for it.

Worse? Are you kidding? What with all the billions of moronic humans
filling the planet, the survival of the world DEPENDS upon physicists
to come up with better and more efficient ways to kill more and more
people!  Of course the atomic bomb was a great advance, and lately
other disciplines (such at virology) have been making the greatest
advances (AIDS, EBOLA ETC.) but I do think that physicists have it in
them to take back the lead with some super population control ideas!
And sure, unless these things happen to get used on YOU, they are what
makes physics FUN!!!!

In what i would call a tragic sense, you are very
right about this, Benj.  It's a well-known fact that
every species has survival mechanisms, some of
which do not "kick in" until they're needed (or
they are *perceived* to be needed).

It's also a well-known fact that there are only two
ways to deal with over-population...

  1) lower the amount of births, or
  2) increase the amount of deaths.

Number one, while seeming the more humane way
to deal with this challenge, and while enjoying a
certain amount of success on small local levels, has
not been too very effective on a global basis. So it
was only a matter of time before our survival drive
kicked in and, at least unconciously, began to in a
very systematic manner, lower the number of people
on the planet.

If we don't wise up and realize that the number one
choice is the best way and must be made more and
more effective, then we must face that the only other
choice, number two, will kick in and ensure that we,
as a species, will survive.

happy new-year days and...
  starry starry nights!

We've had another good 2008 years to wise up.  It obviously isn't
going to happen by way of whatever's in charge of our private parts
and most of our hard earned loot.

Science w/o those faith-based strings needs to kick butt, or else.  In
other words, in a very Hitler way if need be, we need to get rid of
whatever's standing in the way of science before it's too late.  WWIII
is not exactly a good option.

If you only know college physics you know next to noting
and most of it is properly wrong.

Do you know how to tap energy from the varcumm ?
Do you know how to build an antigravity generator ?
Do you know how to transmute elements ?
Do you know how to convert energy to matter ?
Do you know how to build a teleporter ? (not a quantum teleporter)
Do you know how to travel in time ?
Do you know how to travel between alternate realities in the multiverse ?

If not you have still much study to do !
You might start you studies at
