  1. It's much more likely that you will get nanoparticulate silver using an arc, rather than electrolysis.
  2. Incidentally, I was explaining the point, not agreeing with it. If you can only afford 1 guy in the army and you cut him by 10% then your enemy just has to wait til the 3 days a month that you are no longer paying him for. However, are conflicts likely to arise between vastly mis-matched powers? OK, they happen, but I suspect that the wars are often between countries with relatively similar forces so a 10% reduction on both sides wouldn't make much difference to the outcome. On the other hand, if some small country decided to take on China or the UK then it's likely to fail. A 10% change in expenditure might not influence that much.
  3. "And will Reason eventually triumph?" Possibly, but not, I fear, while people are citing the Bible.
  4. Well, to get back to the experiment, very little of the 10,000 volts you are using is actually resulting in electrolysis- maybe 2 volts is going into producing a chemical change due to the passage of an electric current. So it seems that you don't actually know what you are doing. "hes made a living a career out of it..an has no health problems " He's dead. This is what the FDA has to say about colloidal silver here http://nccam.nih.gov/health/silver#key Colloidal silver is not safe or effective for treating any disease or condition. Colloidal silver can cause serious side effects. The most common is argyria, a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin, which is usually not treatable or reversible. The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission have taken action against a number of companies (including some companies that sell products over the Internet) for making drug-like claims about colloidal silver products. which is hardly an endorsement. So, what you are doing is pretty much pointless, and distinctly dangerous. Your inability to distinguish siver sulfadiazine from colloidal silver doesn't cast a favourable light on you either. And even that preparation is more than slightly suspect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_sulfadiazine Since you say " ive heard that nitrogen can be infused thru the arc which may cause the reaction to be toxjc when combined with stomach acids " it's kind of difficult for you to say it's not intended for human consumption, so it is perfectly legitimate for me to point out the foolishness of such action.
  5. I thought it was fairly clear. About 14 billion years ago the universe was created as a bunch of hydrogen. Some of that fused into heavier nuclei like carbon and iron and such. Some of those elements have come together to form planets and, on at least one of those planets life has arisen. Some of the life on that planet wonders where it came from- the humans. So some of the original hydrogen is now reading this message.
  6. " i think there is no evidence that silver is harmful " There plainly is, unless you think looking like a smurf is beneficial.
  7. Good luck with your campaign to restrict freedom of speech and action on the basis of a hunch backed up by a 500 year old story.
  8. There may have been other reasons why they stopped making it,, after all, 10KV isn't dangerous as long as you make sure it's never near a person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria And, there's little if any evidence that silver is good for you. The fact that they think the phase of the moon is important is clear evidence that it's hogwash. So you are doing something fairly dangerous, with no real idea what you are doing to achieve something which is known not to work, and to be harmful. The best scientific advice is just stop.
  9. No, he's saying that a 10% drop in spending by everyone doesn't affect the relative strengths of the armies. Whoever was at the top of teh list would still be at the top.
  10. Glad you liked it, though I have to admit it's not original. I'm afraid I can't remember where I heard it.
  11. The question raised in the OP was answered by the second post in the thread. Arguably, everything since then has been off- topic.
  12. That's about as sensible a post as saying "I have found the cure for arthritis". Unless you can show that it is true, it's a waste of bandwidth.
  13. You do know that hydrogen peroxide and vinegar will both kill bacteria anyway, don't you?
  14. In this "and one of those languages is of a culture that we may be in conflict with in the future, such as Arabic, Iranian, Russian, and maybe Mandarin." it's not clear if the word "Iranian" refers to the language, or the culture, and an Iranian culture does exist. Of course tat leads to a problem of finding a Mandarin culture.
  15. No I didn't. The OP did that by saying "Because thorium is so dense it has the potential to produce tremendous amounts of heat." which is nonsense.
  16. To be fair, he did say "some" in the title. The real problem is that he doesn't actually have a proposal that would work for those diseases that are genetic.
  17. "Have we not been discussing the topic? " No we have not. You make a statement, we point out that it is nonsense and you carry on blithely as if we had not said anything. "In another post you said there weren't 7 electron shells when in fact as a chemist, which you profess to be, you certainly know there are." ​It remains that case that there are an indefinitely large number of electron shells. And you asserting otherwise doesn't change that, not matter how often you say it. "You demonstrate a pattern of bias in the disregard of any statement of evidence I have made because you are biased towards me. " No, I pointed out that there are not 7. "You are more worried about egos, politics, and the fear of criticism than of having a real discussion and presenting any original thoughts of your own." I worry about plenty of things,but that's not one of them. You are simply wrong and I'm right about the numbers so what criticism would I be afraid of? This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model is a simplistic model, but it will do for our purposes. If you look through it you will see that there is no upper bound to the principle quantum number n. It can rise practically without limit. n can be much more than 7 "You "inferred" an incorrect interpretation of the definition." What would your second guess be?
  18. "Why is it that only the Ignorant people are allowed to judge,move topics,give warnings and abuse their power on this site?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
  19. Oddly, you are right to say I infer it, even though you meant that I imply it. I infer that soap-boxing is bad from the fact that the rules ban it. Preaching and "soap-boxing" (making topics or posts without inviting, or even rejecting, open discussion) are not allowed. This is a discussion forum, not your personal lecture hall. Discuss points, don't just repeat them."
  20. No,it's soapboxing.
  21. May I interrupt at this point and ask just how far the mathematicians would have got without language?
  22. How big the cloud needs to be depends on temperature. It's not a simple question. What's really weird is that if you get a big enough cloud of hydrogen, and wait long enough, bits of it start to wonder where they came from.
  23. What would your second guess be? And who cares? The density isn't the issue.
  24. " I assert that this post has substantial scientific value on the basis of thought provocation alone." And I assert it's a waste of bandwidth because you haven't actually said anything that is true. There are not 7 colours There are not 7 electron shells There are not 7 energy levels so there's no meaningful question about coincidence. It's obviously no coincidental that you arbitrarily chose the same number 3 times and stuck it in a sentence with no meaning. And there is no aether. Such a cloud of dross is, btw, not beautiful anyway so the discussion of beauty as a guide is irrelevant.
  25. Yes, but the legitimate energy source has nothing to do with that bollocks about lasers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fluoride_thorium_reactor And, it can't have a lot to do with density (as claimed) because there are plenty of elements denser than thorium- gold is probably the best known. This whole thread is scoring red hot on the BS meter.
