Sanny - 26 Dec 2007 17:19 GMT 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.

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.
oldcoot - 26 Dec 2007 21:08 GMT > I am talking about any > new strange Law Discovered in Science? 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). http://superconductors.org/gravity.pdf

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??

Sir Frederick - 27 Dec 2007 10:36 GMT >While I was in College I loved Physics. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >Bye >Sanny 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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

I think these days Scientists > get a lot of Pay/ Perks but the Output is Zero. 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 magnetic equipment has been confiscated by moron governments throughout the world. So the only possible anything could advance is by going nowhere real fast.

I think these days Scientists > get a lot of Pay/ Perks but the Output is Zero. 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.
> Science is good till it is used Just for Fun.... But if you make > Weapons it is the worst thing in the world. 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!!!!
Painius - 29 Dec 2007 12:40 GMT >> While I was in College I loved Physics. >> Has any new thing developed or any new concept??? [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > 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!

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.

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 ?
