Dude you’re on your way to blow yourself up or at least loose a couple fingers with all this fast spinning stuff and now wanting to build a vacuum chamber without having the slightest idea what you’re doing and refusing any knowledge and tips you’re getting here. Do yourself a favour and wear some protective glasses at least.

Yes, the Karman Line which is at 62 miles is accepted as the line above which there is no air. Ofcourse there is no accurate way to pinpont a line where the armosphere ends and there are particles even at higher orbits than 300 miles but that doesnt mean there is air at 300 miles, because there isn’t. Could you answer my question ?: „So you think that the air is what's holding us down on the surface of the earth” ?

So you think that the air is what's holding us down on the surface of the earth? Fun fact - 62 miles above the earth's surface there is no air.

I hear ya. I think it would be equally futile to get rid of the discrimination you mention above as it is futile to do it in the real world. Whetger it should be done or not (I think it should) is an ethics issue.

As I wrote I’m not sure we’re dealing with discrimination in the adds context. We gladely take the perks of data trade but we want to get rid of the downsides - thats not how the internet works. When FB gets too squeezed against the wall, I suspect Zuckerberg will move the servers and data farms to Asia, Google will do that too if too much censorship will take place. Internet is intrinsically very hard if not impossible to regulate. Arms dealing, fake accounts and bots altering ellections, human trafficking etc all should be and are regulated by various technologies...adds, discrimination based on religion, ethicity, pollitical views - good luck with that, I dont think its ever happening. FB and Google are already very biased liberally which in my personal view is a good thing but in the broader, wholesome view - not so good.

@Ten oz, Im pretty sure Phi meant that as a response to me. @Phi for All, Im convinced FB needs to be regulated but for Cambridge Analytica reasons not for adds/privacy reasons. @studiot, Add blocker works for http not for SMTP, the mail spam/no spam thing always was and always will be unresolvable I think.

Well, I never succseeded in putting money onto my PayPal account without adding a card number. I never had issues with online card transactions though, I did have issues several times with non online card payments though...like a coffee shop at the airport in South Africa trying to steal money from my card and similar. Most of the time my bank called me to confirm a suspicious transaction and the scam was prevented but I got screwed twice on something like this nevertheless.

Then your Paypal account is probably not „confirmed” and you’re considered a shady user I edited my above post to add things.

Are you sure PayPal doesn't sell your card data? That doesn’t matter though, PayPal was hacked last year and 1,6mln users were compromised. I use PayPal too by the way but also use my card on sites directly. I have a card which I use just for online payments and keep the money short on it. https://www.google.pl/amp/s/thehackernews.com/2017/12/paypal-tio-data-breach.html%3famp=1

I totally agree. But thats not discrimination at least in my view. By the way google’d addblock plus works really well for me.

I have a friend who worked on the targeted advertisment systems in the 90’s. Eventually they sild their products to Microsoft and switched to gathering information systems for various polls companies which they are one of at the moment. The idea behind the targeted add systems was simple - the seller gets to target potencial customers more accurately and the potencial buyer gets the accurate offers based on profiling. I noticed that sometimes when I do a certain action which might be treated as out of ordinary by algorithms like browsing a certain website or making a call to some conpany abroad, I get a related email form some other company with adds or offers or wahtever. As much as these algorithms are annoying and/or their justification questiinable I don’t think this should be discussed in context of discrimination. Unless we want to treat complex marketing as dicrimination which I think we shouldn’t...after all marketing (which this is and nothing more) has just one goal - to sell more to more clients when the goal of discrimination is not to provide something based on somebody’s features. FB and others need to use inteligent targeting so they don’t loose money on energy/bandwidth for you and me to see tampon offers. There are all kinds of anomalies coming from these technologies but I don’t think we should treat them as discrimination. I remember a few years back HP screwing up facial recognition in their line of laptops to a point in which dark skin faces were un-recognizable by the laptop rendering the user not capable of loging in...Google had a same issue a few years later. I think treating these things as discrimination (which is ofcourse the case by many) is plain silly.

You need to understand what gravity is, have you done the reading I asked you to? When you understand what gravity is and how it works, you will realise how ridiculous the idea of „creating gravity” with a contraption on your desk is. Our 3 spacial dimentions and time are connected together in a single construct called spacetime. The reason for this connection is that both time and space react to mass and energy...when you are in empty space where there are no planets, stars or moon’s close to you, spacetime is „flat”, if you are close to a body of mass in space, spacetime gets „curved” and that curvature is gravity. Space gets curved and we perceive that as gravity, time is affected to, it runs at a different rate for you when you find yourself in that curved space. Earth has mass and that mass generates the spacetime curvature which we perceive as me and you weighing a certain amount of pounds on our scales when in fact it is the spacial dimentions that are changed due to earths mass. Spacetime is curved on earth and its flat when you go to the earths orbit. The reason for that curvature is always mass or energy, and its a lot of mass and energy that can change the shape of spacetime, its literally hundreds of billions of tonnes of mass that is needed to curve spacetime enough so you can feel it. Its all about geometry when you try to figure out how gravity affects things...everything you know including light is affected by that curvature and you feel it as gravity. What I wrote is sloppy physics wise and theres still a lot more to it. I tried to put things into as simple words as possibe for you, I suggest you start asking questions instead of arguing, I promise things will get clearer and very interesting when you do that.

Orange, like any other color is subjective and depends on system used and personal perception which always varies. Orange on aluminium (RAL color management system) will look very different from printed orange (Pantone system for example) on paper due to light bouncing off and being absorbed differently from those two surfaces. The pure colors are called „primary colors” and are dependant on the system used. You can mix red+yellow from RGB color pallet and see orange...untill you shine blue light on it and it will no longer be orange. On top of that, you will perceive a different orange from me while we’re looking at the same orange object under the same conditions - there are ways of testing that, but yes, if you mix red+yellow you will get orange - more or less. Light is like swansont said a bit tricky colorwise. You can pinpoint a certain wavelength from within the visible spectrum and call it „oragne” but only from within a certain color management system. You change the system and the results will change so there is no universal orange. If that doesn’t make sense don’t worry, just keep in mind that everybody sees a little bit different „orange”

Look man, I’m assuming you’re not some nutcase trying to hoax people on youtube and you’re genuinely interested in finding things out. Am I right assuming that? If that is the case, 1. Ground the pipe (if its metal, if its PVC you wont be able to) Tape a bare wire to the pipe and the other end connect to the ground (your vice or some other big chunk of metal should be enough for this purpose) You can also use an ESD set if you have one around the shop. 2. Use your multimeter to check for presence of static charge. Set it to measure „amperes” and be sure your meter has an option to retain a reading as the neasured discharge will take a microsecond or so only. Use tape to attach the myltimeter probes to the pipe. If the pioe is PVC it probably won’t work. Practise by rubbing a sweater or your bare feet on a carpet and measure that with your multimeter to get a readout by using the probes on your hands. 3. Use a feather instead of the paper to get a better idea of where and how much of air movement occurs. There might actually be both factors playing a role here at the same time - electromagnetism and air movement. 4. Read the wikipedia article I linked you to on gravity. Come up with questions and post them here, there are PHD physicists in this very thread who will answer all the questions you have, you can learn a lot from them. 5. Forget about hope you discovered how to „generate gravity” There is no way that could have happened, learn the basics of gravity what it is and how it interacts and you will laugh yourself a year later at this whole thing. I think its cool youre doing the experiments and I fully support you in this. Providing you’re not a nutcase or deliberately trying to find out how to hoax people.

A metal tube wouldn’t accumulate static charge since electrons move freely in a conductive material such as a metal pipe. But since you have a constatnt supply of charge from that 6K RPM motor and that thing moving inside the pipe - yes, a sufficient charge could be generated to move that piece of paper. Or its air that is moving the paper - one of the two. You need to understand that gravity, which is in essence spacetime curvature doesn’t work anything like shown in the films. Firstly, you would need trillions of tons of matter or a ridiculous amount of energy to create gravitational attraction capable of moving a piece of paper. In space that is where there is not source of gravity - your desk is here on earth and everything around it is affected by earths gravity pull. I can’t even begin to think where I should start explaining that what is shown in the films has nothing to do with gravity, you need to ingest some very basics of physics first, start with this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

Just spin the motor as fast as you can and touch the charged PVC pipe with your wet tongue. If you feel a tingling sensation its static charge.

Gee I dont know, maybe because nobody in the film stuck the piece of paper close to the sides of the pipe? Hint - when you see PVC, paper and a rotating motor moving some junk which is touching the PVC its static charge or airflow. Gravity works a „little” different.

A pvc pipe is getting static charge from a motor rotating some contraption inside and pulls the sheet of paper towards the pipe. Just ground the damn pipe and poof, „gravity” will be magically gone.

Browse the below document, you will find a lot of information you are looking for in it. If you have any questions after reading the document I will try to answer them. https://www.heidelberg.com/global/media/en/global_media/products___prinect_topics/pdf_1/color_quality.pdf

Insteresting. I’m observing the conclusions drawn from this research all my life all around me. Too bad they didn’t include a cure.

Call me old fashioned, fallacious or whatever you like but I rather have my whiskey and my pot from time to time instead (not together though) I’ll leave that endevour to you, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Wow, a colloquial „I can’t imagine” is a logical fallacy now? „Annoying” doesn’t really apply here anymore, you phrased it more accurately than I did just now. I’m still expecting proof and I’m not seeing any. If you can’t find it, book a flight to Portugal and start working on it.
