  1. Right. I thought they fell out of the HUP., from the way I read it.
  2. This suggests they were introduced by Heisenberg: They were experimentally observed by Willis Lamb - Lamb Shift - in 1947.
  3. A camera lens is made of several lenses and those objects could just be a single light artifact that has been distorted into a meaningful shape and then repeatedly reflected between the lens surfaces.and then onto the sensor. The coating on the glass usually eliminates this but under certain conditions it can still happen. You most often see this phenomenon, in some pictures or videos, in the shape of repeated hexagons when the sun is in or near view, which is actually the shape of the camera's aperture. It's a sign that the coating has failed under these conditions or the lenses are dirty or moisture has condensed on them.
  4. Pareidolian entities.
  5. I think the periphery is probably more 'black and white' i.e higher contrast, which might make signs of movement more apparent.... just guessing.
  6. Yeah. I 've thought of another one: if you concentrate - not focus - on the periphery, you can apparently see dimmer stars at night than with the central portion.
  7. Put something close up to your eye when you do that... is it sharp?
  8. Is 13+ billion years long enough?
  9. The maths does not allow observation from c....it's results are infinities and zeros. No time, no distance for a photon, and infinite speeds necessary for a massive object. It's just meaningless.
  10. A particle of the standard model has the ability to act whereas a virtual particle does not.This was the distinction I was trying to make. Whether it matters or not is neither here nor there. He described them as quanta having energy. They are not individually quanta. Are they?
  11. It's a never-ending onslaught.
  12. It seems, as long as there's 4 satellites in view from any position on Earth, it works. I'm sure Swansont will elaborate.
  13. isn't their effect collective rather than individual, except when they pair to form proper or quantized particles?
  14. To access Advanced Repair: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht502826
  15. They are called 'virtual' because they are not quanta, they are less than that. Anything that is less than a quanta has no affect on matter and is not individually measurable.
  16. Because a particle is a field excitation.
  17. I suppose when you are talking Planck accuracy then it is an approximation. C'mon man, that's worse than splitting hairs.
  18. A laser fired at the reflector on the moon returns ok... or is that still within the bounds of an approximation?
  19. Probably best to show how you produced it and your apparatus.
  20. I found this PPT presentation which I've converted to PDF. I've uploaded it. Note the print is rather large, so shrink the doc. In it, it says: Chapter 18.pdf
  21. Women can remain conscious under higher G than men because the are shorter, so may be organisms evolved under higher G will be shorter? From that you could surmise they won't be any more affected by 0 G
  22. An enzyme is a catalyst and speeds up reactions; it is not a reactant itself. Amylase causes the starch to break down into maltose and glucose.The yeast can metabolize glucose but not maltose, which the bacteria can, into more glucose. The carbon dioxide is a product of the yeast metabolism of the glucose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough
  23. That last 1% doesn't matter to the masses but to the discerning aficionado it does. .. it can mean the difference between winning and losing or something being tolerable or not. Goldplating stops oxidation,it's not just about signal purity.
