  1. Yes. The requirements are specific to the journal. As I recall, the process generally took several months for peer review, revisions and publication. Submission dates might be included in the article so you can check for yourself e.g. a recent one from Phys. Rev. Lett. Published in April “Received 7 September 2023 Revised 11 January 2024 Accepted 26 January 2024”
  2. Clouded over - nothing but a diffuse bright blob, at best, and it got kinda dark for a while.
  3. Another cargo vessel lost power near a bridge but was being escorted by tugs. https://abc7chicago.com/verrazzano-narrows-bridge-new-york-apl-qingdao-cargo-ship-loses-power/14634032/# “The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the container ship "had experienced a loss of propulsion" Friday night as it traversed a waterway in New York Harbor.” I’m guessing this happens relatively often but we just weren’t aware because near-misses usually don’t make the news
  4. Can you provide evidence of quantum transitions at such low energies? Neutrinos do not interact electromagnetically. You’re building speculation on top of more speculation, and give the appearance of just making it up as you go. ! Moderator Note The charade has gone on long enough. This doesn’t fulfill the requirements of speculations, despite ample opportunity to comply. Don’t bring this topic up again
  5. No, I want to know how photons are generated in a solid given your model. Photons don’t just sit there - they move at c - so they are either absorbed, or they leave the material. We can know the rate at which they leave, since it’s dictated by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. But once the photons are absorbed inside the material, which will happen quickly, how do you get new ones? (Once we can calculate the heat capacity, we can find out how many photons there must be)
  6. You say there are all these photons but can’t tell us how they are generated. I know how they are generated in mainstream physics, but your model denies that mechanism. And once you figure out the heat capacity issue, there will be more deficiencies to point out.
  7. That’s not a mechanism for generating photons. No. The Kelvin is a fundamental unit. It does not equate to joules. Your link does not say what you claim here; you have omitted a factor (in the denominator) of the Boltzmann constant, which has units.
  8. Why? What is the mechanism in your model that gives you these photons? K-1.kg-1.s * K^3 does not give units of heat or heat flux. The temperature factors don’t even cancel
  9. ! Moderator Note Your thread was locked. You don’t get to bring it up again.
  10. It’s a false dichotomy, because there are other ways of getting money. If you won the lottery, you’d be rich because you won the lottery, not because of your own work or because of family money.
  11. How? What mechanism gives you photons? Units still don’t work.
  12. So they are only in the material for a short time. How do you get new photons to take their place? Your units don’t work. VT^3 doesn’t have the units of Q
  13. Does your model account for the heat capacity of the material? What happens to the photons?
  14. Who measures time in such experiments with a spring-driven clock with gears? Mechanical clocks lack the necessary precision. But time dilation is symmetric. Clock 1 will run slow compared to clock 2, from clock 2”s perspective. How can a mechanical effect have a clock run both fast and slow? It can’t. Time dilation isn’t a mechanical effect It sounds like you think there is an absolute rest frame.
  15. I just moved, and am a few hours outside the totality region, but was too occupied to arrange to get inside the zone. And am too wiped out to contemplate travel at this point.
  16. That’s still radiation, and I’m talking about conduction transfer from one material to another, not through a material. When two materials touch the heat transfer rate is much larger than if they are separated by a small amount (especially if that is a vacuum gap) This is inconsistent with the heat transfer being radiative. You burn yourself when you touch the hot water. What does the S-B law say is the heat flow from touching your 1 cm^2 fingertip to the coffee?
  17. This is your claim - heat transfer is from radiation This is also your claim
  18. I don’t know what you mean by cooperation. Government subsidies and tax breaks are not the same as government contracts.
  19. Customers trade money for goods and services. They are not just giving money to someone. PayPal did not magically appear from nothing.
  20. But you’ve asserted that there is no conduction, that it’s all radiation. Being inconsistent just makes this worse. YOUR IDEA THAT ALL THERMAL ENERGY AND HEAT TRANSFER IS RADIATION. No, you can’t. Not if the cup is cool on the outside.
  21. Free electrons can’t absorb photons; you can’t conserve both momentum and energy if that were to happen. They scatter photons, giving you a lower-energy photon. (Compton scattering) You can absorb a photon in the photoelectric effect because the atom is there to let you conserve momentum. But: acceleration of electrons with light has been done, in various ways https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-55472-5 https://physics.aps.org/articles/v6/106
  22. Self-made means you did it yourself, with minimal outside help. Not just help from parents. It suggests that anyone can do it if they just work hard enough. There’s a baseline of support that anyone can get, but most uber-wealthy get far more than that, such as subsidies or tax breaks for individuals or companies not available to the average person. If someone hands you a million dollars and you can parlay that into a bigger fortune, good for you. But since most people don’t have access to a million dollars, it’s a tad insulting to imply that it’s a path to wealth accessible to all.
