The Palio Di Siena . The stimulation for Art in Italy is really ,one of the best in the world ! . You could ask ' What does this have to do with Science? ' Certainly in Italy, as in many countries , ' Science and Art ' have often been ' Bedfellows ' ! Think of Lianado da Vinchi, Galileo , etc It may be , that often scientists feel the need to use visualisation , as an essential aid in explaining Nature . After all , mainly all , Human scientists , 'Are' visual creatures , having as one of its main brain stimulation the ' eyes ' . followed by some amazing brain function , ' Visualisation in picture form ' . Mike

.. Very clever, and very impressive , I must say . I think your name is going to go down in history as :- . . . " The Tar Projection" . . . Mike

Here, is a quick sketch I did of the ' Palio in Siena' Italy , yesterday . No horse race unfortunately . The owner of the restaurant Guidorrico , while eating Pici spaghetti , said if I send a copy painted to him I can eat and drink for nothing . That was a good deal Mike . See Wikipedia link to palio Siena :- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palio_di_Siena

One what ? Thought ? Existence ? Mike

I am not so sure that we can EITHER ... OR . Namely we can not really say EITHER "this is purely classical behaviour . " OR. " this is purely quantum behaviour " As evidence has mounted of both sorts of behaviour being definitely present . Perhaps we ought to consider fundamental ' entities ' as being purely a ' double headed beast ' , having both characteristics. Could it be that ? Sometimes the interaction with such an ' entity ' has either , or, or both , issues? Could it be, that both are present ? , all the time and set of circumstances . It just depends ' which ' or ' both ' makes itself ' felt ' , as it were? Prof Jim Alkahili, gave a TV presentation on this matter this week .

The more I paint , the more things appear to focus on us . " me " I have only just noticed , ripples in water , ' Appear ' to all be directed toward me as the Observer ' ? As with the clouds , they all 'seem ' be coming toward me , as the observer , ( only appear ) , in an ever expanded format , from the horizon , to above my head . ( fan shaped in configuration ' V ' ) Things are only significant to me , if they relate to me ? In other words , the Universe only has significance ' as it relates too us ' . Hence my fingernail growth , and movement of oceanic plates both impact on me ( the observer ) , Oceanic plates impact indirectly on me ( the observer ). There are probably a host upon host upon host , of things that are doing all sorts of amazing things , very fast , very small, very peculiar, very far away , that will never impact on me as ' this observer, Me ' Mike

. Actual Longer wave Antenna seen yesterday on North Devon Coastal area. Centre fed dipole , by the looks . Although the length would be no problem on a large satellite in orbit . I am working on the idea of the condensed rhombic both for tests and actual use. Wiith a 1 square meter transmission and reception ( energy collection ) , area. . Careful looking and magnification will reveal the down ( or up ) centre fed open feeder wires (very faint ). Mike

. There is something compositionally , very satisfying about this picture . I often find this with ships . Whether it is the intrigue, as to what is going on ' off picture to the left ? Sunlight seems to be ,lighting from the left horizon . Two boats are steaming hard to the left , the third seems to be turning that way ! Maybe it is a case of what ' is not shown ' , rather than what ' is shown ' that gets your imagination going .? I suppose , there is not the detail ' in ' the picture to keep one interested and entertained. But rather there is a 'host ' of imagination to keep one going , off picture to the left . Mike

. Forward and return wattage can be detected by an SWR ( Standing Wave Ratio ) meter .I have managed to buy one today , which can take up to 100 watts forward Radio Frequency Power ( 7 MHz) . At full scale 100 watts will being fed into the resonant antenna . When it is set to measure Forward and reflected energy . FORWARD POWER . Means power going into the antenna . Then a switch enables measurement of reflected power ( 0% , 4 %, 11%, , 25%, RED any more is dangerous to the equipment ) This gives a measure of the STANDING WAVE RATIO ( SWR) . 1 means none reflected , all radiated , 2 means 11% reflected , 3 means 25% reflected . Any more close down . If 1 is achieved it means 100 watts will be totally radiated by the Antenna ! Here is the SWR Meter . Mike

. Whatever , the source of the design for our human stock, our home , the earth, the universe . Whether that be from much higher life forms , evolution , the pressure of survival , a creator . The results seem to come out the same . We seem to live in a 'Goldilocks universe' , where many things seem to be ' not too big , not too small, not too slow , not too fast ' but just right !

Well , that is my whole point. The world isn't , as a rule , jogging about all over the place , so we cannot stand upright. In fact , if anything is at odds , it is buildings . Maybe we as civilisation took a wrong turn, somewhere, and should have concentrated on single story , Dome like structures . One of my earlier 1970's attempts at dome construction, utilising Buckminster Fuller domes. Mike Even earlier , In between during computer boon .

. Similar ! Same . Meaning , the same order of magnitude . Namely , they are moving , enough to do some useful ' purpose ' , like providing a constant supply of ' finger end ' replacement . And some movement of continents, volcanos, etc Yet at the same time , they ( neither ) are freaking humans out of their mind , by fingernails growing while you look at them . Or continents under our feet , moving so fast as to scare us whit less! To me! That is interesting ! It smacks a little bit of " the goldilocks effect " . Not too fast , not too slow , just right ! What do you do, if you have all these coincidences appearing all over the place . What should we deduce from more and more ' goldilocks effects ' , making their presence felt ? Mike

They appear to have very similar movement ! Coincidence or anything else? Mike

.What is the difference ? Does mHz mean milliHertz, no such thing as a thousandth of a cycle is there ? I mean 7 million cycles per second . 7 mega hertz is 40 meters in wavelength , in radio waves . Presumably there is no such thing as milli hertz 1/1000 th of a cycle ? Anyway , my fault . 7,000,000 cycles per second . 7.000 MHz. Shortwave . My crystal is for exactly 7.000 MHz . ( I forgot , in your world of atomic clocks 7/1000th of a cycle at 40 meters per cycle , could be quite a 'goodly number ' of oscillations of an atomic particle ! Going zzittt in such a fraction of a 7MHz cycle . A whole life time of something in the sub atomic world ) . My distances are " half way across my garden, your distances are one billionth of a meter or something . We live in different worlds " The designation - 7.000 MHz - is an ' Amateur Radio Transmission Band licensed for interrupted Continuous Transmission, ( at its lower end { near 7.000 MHz end } , Continuous Wave ' . (CW Morse Code) . I have such a licence ( G4HMA ) . ( --. ....- .... -- .- ) Mike. .-.-. ( Which in morse code means AR , " Over and Out " )

. Antenna parts . Rescued from and old transformer . Two lengths of 33 ft copper wire . ( which is approximately , half the length of our garden ) These will be made into a rhombic antenna where the two 33 ft arms will be loosely folded into a dustbin shape . Having a firing direction , one way , slight rotational polarisation . Effectively a half wave dipole , centre fed , with looses ends having a 300 ohm termination . Facing sideways, tuned to 7.000 mhz . Mike

Incorporated perspective in clouds in this painting today . Mike

?I have reasoned out why this works . The length of the copper wire is a resonant length. Also the conduit copper wire can take a Non Straight path . In the same way a fibre optic cable does not have to be straight in order to operate . ( although this I appreciate is based on total internal reflection ) . In principle if a conduit can work consistently ,internally . It does NOT have to be straight. This allows a resonant length of 66 feet , to exist in a tubular form , yet within a transmitting area of 1 square metre. I think ? This would equally work , I think ? , with a resonant length of copper wire for 7 mhz . ( ie 66 feet for a half wave ) . Thus as long as the ends are left open or terminated in suitable ( free space impedance ) . The centre 33 feet in from either end may be fed with the driving 100 watts at 7 MHz. Say at 300 ohm impedance . You could argue , it will not work all circular like illustrated. My reasoning is that it will, as the electrons that are excited at the feed point , are not , I believe ? Going anywhere. They oscillate about a mean position at 7,000,000 times each second . They have no time to go anywhere , what does move at the speed of light is the change in charge as a wave . This moving charge effect ,creating an associated magnetic effect, can move at the speed of light. Soon to be, if not already forming into a photon of Electro Magnetic energy Wave . .? As the wave charge effect ( forming photon) has no mass , it will not have any impedance with the route of the copper wire ( I think ? ) . So this random , circular , route , should allow RF transmission , In the normal way , all-be-it with circular polarisation ? The initiating oscillating electrons , will I imagine , be subject to resistance or impedance as they oscillate in the antenna copper wire . But as previously stated ( cautiously ! ) . Individual electrons are unlikely to move through any great distance within the conductor of the antenna. ( I think ? ) . If I provide a similar receiving antenna , the reverse should apply , with electrons oscillating in the receiving antenna Load . ( Receiver ) . Then a comparison of wattage ( transmitted) to ( received ) , hopefully 100 watts each ( accepting some losses. ) It's possible for me to stand in between and I am confident , I receive no harm ! ( I hope ) Mike

. =============================== Reference to Antennas and Transmitter : =============================== See previous thread # 186 http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/89737-worlds-energy-requirements-may-be-within-our-technological-grasp/page-10#entry878551 .Now to build power rf amp to drive antenna with 100 watts / sq meter . Later to measure reception wattage at 10 - 50 meters over a 1 sq meter area of reception . I have managed to do some mechanical vibration tests with the springy model using copper wire as a model for a 7 Mhz antenna. This next picture is with the copper wire NOT vibrating. Notice occasional node contact points (3-4) This following picture is with the copper wire totally vibrating along its curled up length ( except at the contact nodes , As swansont explained on a previous thread ) . Note the blurry areas on the copper wire , where vibrating , as opposed to still nodes. Thus a long antenna can possibly be curled into a , non conducting container with non metallic contact points , having a radiation area of say 1 square meter . A sort of rotational polarisation . Notice free vibrating end , there are similar vibrations of the copper wire along its length , apart from contact nodes. (3-4 ) . However the vibration is definitely ONE vibration along its length. A similar antenna can be used for measuring the arrival power say some , many 10 to 50 meters away . Outside the ' near field ' Mike

Mike is a great Guy , and he needs all the support he can get !

How about this : . Minute clouds on the horizon , become steadily bigger as they get nearer. The whole thing spreads out like a fan . Mike

.. For the experiment today a Xtal quartz . 7.000 mhz arrived . Now to build power rf amp to drive antenna with 100 watts / sq meter . Later to measure reception wattage at 10 meters over a 1 sq meter area . . . .

Here is the resonance graph with left hand side removed . Could the Left hand side not be an input created by some form of resonant action . Be it that resonance can start from nothing with :- A) Correct Tuning ? And / Or I B) gentle ever increasing swings from nothing ? C) a sudden step function ? D) a n other ? Mike

Rather an interesting 2 videos from the " Nature " link you supplied . Are you proposing some form of link between our new family Supercluster home " Laniakea " , the nearby strange attractor pulling everything in the vicinity toward itself , and the Cosmic Background Radiation ? Mike

.Your statement sounds 'very much' like the history of the universe . Does it not ? Because if you run what you have said ' backwards ' it sounds very much like the exploration backwards we are currently doing with CERN in investigating ever nearer to time 'zero' . Or have I picked up on the wrong thing ? Mike P.S. Humm! I like it . " The Great Resonance " . I knew there was something special about Resonance. I have been fascinated ever since I learned to play with resonance . Particularly when I investigated it in electronics with ' tuned circuits ' , how they either absorbed energy , or gave it out . There has got to be something , there , somewhere ? ( I suppose you are going to tell me now , " this needs to be a separate thread ? " )

. Well here goes . " go for it you lone electron , Push ! " "Wait for me , dear , we can do things , together , normally not possible . Things we have only dreamed of . I will find a way . With a little help from my friend! " Mike
