  1. What would be the point? Confirming that time seemed to pass quickly or slowly? Sounds like a product for people with money to waste.
  2. The sensor is smaller than that. The “whole button” would also include the light source and the housing.
  3. You are preventing light from reaching the sensor.
  4. Yes. (one can use a search engine to possibly find more) https://www.sciencealert.com/jwsts-first-glimpse-of-mars-reveals-the-red-planet-in-a-new-light
  5. David Stefan has been banned as a sockpuppet of John Stefan and Johnny Stefan
  6. That’s not the argument, though. Does it require energy, or not? The answer is yes. Now you can move on to quantifying how much energy it takes to do this. Then you can show how you get energy out of your device. Don’t be sloppy in your claims. The burden of proof is on you to show that this works. No, it’s not, since this isn’t a religious belief. If you want to challenge science, you need evidence. And, as the saying goes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
  7. But you just said it can be used “here” which I assume is on earth. Where on earth is the ambient temperature 2K? I wasn’t Not within the physics community Bull. We don’t need to be open-minded to obvious nonsense offered with no supporting evidence. Evidence and viable models are what opens physicists’ minds. “I have a proposal that violates the second law of thermodynamics” is a quick way to signal that your idea isn’t to be taken seriously
  8. Nature doesn’t care whether you can imagine it or not. It still happens. You need to present a model, i.e. have the ability too make specific predictions. An all-but unreadable image? That’s not going to work.
  9. If you have a time-varying magnetic field, you can be realigning domains of a ferromagnetic material. The domains take up a different amount of space depending on their alignment. It’s called magnetostriction, and it’s responsible for the humming you can hear in transformers http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Solids/magstrict.html
  10. An IR source and a sensor. The IR source emits light. The sensor detects reflected light that returns to it. The beam expands, so there is less light as the distance increases, which means it won’t work if you are too far away. You can’t see through people, so no, light does not easily pass through our body.
  11. Not when it’s happening with identical particles. You can’t tell two electrons apart.
  12. Quantum computing is not synonymous with entanglement. Where in discussion of the alleged entanlement “signaling” is it described as a single qubit? (not by you; you seem to only cite your own claim. I mean someone with credibility in the matter) Then your explanation of identifying particle states in connection with entanglement is awkward. If particles that had determined states become entangled, you can’t tell which particle is which afterward, so you can’t tell if particles states have been reversed.
  13. I would recommend finding the papers on how the proton’s or antiproton’s magnetic moment was measured. (a proton being a “hydrogen-like” ion) Then you won’t have to imagine. There are no 2s or 2p states if it’s ionized.
  14. “While the mass requirements needed for such modifications are still enormous at present, our work suggests a method of constructing such objects based on fully understood laws of physics.” And they don’t really tell you how to do this.
  15. My understanding is that sterile neutrinos as a DM candidate would be much more massive than the known neutrinos.
  16. I doubt she has an answer to give you.
  17. No, we can’t, because it will take energy to keep the superconductor cold. Heat will flow in from the ambient surroundings. It stops moving is the key. And it took energy to get the objects to the starting point. There is no net energy to harvest. So you admit this won’t work. Why would you expect anyone to advocate for it?
  18. If they were massless, this would be moot. With a mass of less than an eV, non-relativistic is pretty slow. How do they slow down?
  19. So you have an alleged power source (although you don’t*) in deep space, far away from any star. What good is that? *”harvesting” energy like this violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics
  20. How would they be trapped? You’d need a black hole, or a neutron star very close to the BH limit, to trap them gravitationally.
  21. Yes, you have frequently avoided answering the question. Where did you find this “official” description? All entanglement is based on not knowing the states of the individual particles. “original state of a particle” makes no sense for an entangled particle. You can’t describe them in terms of individual states.
  22. But if it’s based on warping spacetime, you still need to establish how you do this.
  23. The heat capacity, or specific heat capacity the amount of heat a material must absorb (per unit mass) to raise its temperature by 1K (assuming we’re using SI units) If your interest is the volume of material, modify the specific heat capacity by multiplying by the density
  24. The cat is clearly a Jedi knight, and those are also not the droids you’re looking for.
  25. You have to show the feasibility of warp drive. You’ve skipped that part.
