  1. But you were saying the ground state doesn't have enough energy to store bonds, but then why is pure hydrogen diatonic (with the exception of it becoming a plasma) at whatever the temperature? Even if you have super cool liquid hydrogen, its still diatonic.
  2. What about hydrogen? Isn't it diatonic?
  3. But doesn't the ground state itself have an amount of energy? Or would it be frictionless because it doesn't try to bond with a single thing?
  4. I thought scientists couldn't say at all that particles moved in any classical sense...Also, why would the temperature effect the actual electro-magnetic fields of particles that causes attraction?
  5. So if it has no internal energy regarding kinetic energy, if I wrote an equation for a particles wave which contained 0 energy, wouldn't there be no wave? Or better yet, what does it mean by "internal energy"?
  6. He's saying it has no thermal energy, but I don't see how atoms can have 0 energy to move themselves. Also if that's true, if it formed an equilibrium with another substance, shouldn't exactly half the temperature be the consequence?
  7. So they are saying it can't be heated up?
  8. How does it have zero thermal energy if its not at absolute zero? It's not at absolute zero, just above it, so it should still have thermal energy right? The atoms should still be moving somewhat. Also, if all the atoms did have the same value of thermal energy which was 0, they should all be in the same lowest energy state, so why isn't it displaying properties of Bose-Einstein condensation or really any quantum mechanical properties? Also instead of getting warmer, it just rises, but couldn't an explanation for that be a simple property of phase change? Super-fluid is as close to a solid that helium will get, but if you can remember, when doing things like melting ice, the temperature of the ice doesn't change because energy has to first be put into changing its phase to a liquid, it should be a similar property of helium when its trying to go to a higher energy state which likes to take up more space.
  9. Whenever an interaction of a particle is observed in any way, via light or EM force in a way that it is perceived or measured, the wave-particle instead only acts as a single particle, so its more of a mathematical notion of only seeing one possibility rather than the particle itself stops being a wave, otherwise it couldn't just go right back to being a wave.
  10. Well water moves very easily. When a thunder cloud is over land, the landmass isn't moving, so what happens is the like charges in the thunder cloud repel that charge which is in the land, and since the land doesn't move since its a solid, only the charge moves away from the like charge in the thunder cloud, so once the like charge on land is pushed away, all that's left is a different net charge where lightning forms. I think this is called induction. But in water, the water molecules with like charges themselves can get easily pushed away while other water just moves in, so a difference in charge rarely really builds up.

  12. Dolphins evolved from a wolf-like animal and you can see the evidence of this because dolphins and whales have vestigial hip bones which through evolution have shrunk over time. There's also the fact that both dolphins and wolves move their spine up and down, rather than like fish and sharks which move their spin or spin-like structure left and right.
  13. Why not just use chemical testing on the said bacteria? If NASA or someone hasn't done that, how else would they even suspect arsenic is actually incorporated into the bacterium DNA? So what if arsenic is in the water, bacterium could develop a resistance to it which would have likely been NASA's or anyone's first assumption, but that's not what they are saying now, they moved on from that. They find bacterium living in sulfuric acid but they don't say sulfur is in that bacterias DNA, because its not. There must be some test to determine it which a web designer didn't put in. It's not like just anyone can view every test that the Fermi-Lab has done, not even the ones that claim to discover new particles like charm quarks, even though its widely accepted by physicists that those particles exist. Just so everyone is clear: Not every piece of information in the world is on the internet yet, not even all the books in the world are on the internet yet, and I bet there's tons of files pertaining to debates here that have been tested and documented but the universities just never bothered to hire a web designer to put them up, or the head scientists didn't care or think to put them on the internet.
  14. A Half life is only for radioactive material. If atoms aren't radioactive or unstable, then they won't decay, so no half-life equation.
  15. Is there actually any actual evidence for black holes evaporating? Because it doesn't really make sense that matter would be lost from it, unless its somehow converted into Gauge Bosons and then emitted as gravitational energy, which I don't even think is a real theory.
  16. Classical mechanics says anti-matter is matter bur the electrons are orbiting the other way around the nucleus, which we now know with quantum mechanics that an electron doesn't actually physically orbit the nucleus, as far as we know, and since the direction of the spin of an electron doesn't change its charge either, what causes the creation of anti matter quantum mechanically, and what causes the charges to reverse?
  17. Why aren't there electrons being fused in the core of the sun or making collisions with photons? Actually, what do you get when you fuse two electrons? Do you get one of those weird massive particles thats just like normal matter like an electron but more massive? Like a strange or charm quark, but I don't remember what the ones for electrons and protons are called.
  18. Even if you don't know where the electron is, can't you say that when its localized or determined that since its only occupying space as a single point, it is no longer in every possible point, which means there are some places that its not located in or that there are positions it isn't occupying? If I through a rock behind my back, I don't know where it is, but I know its not in every possible place it could be behind my pack since its only occupying a specific region of space, or it has a specific volume and specific dimensions.
  19. I'm not talking about measuring it, I'm just talking about the possibility of it being the case. Unless matter really does move along increments of at least some amount of time, why wouldn't the electron go somewhere or do something with an improper amount of energy? It just absorbs it, a little bit of time passes, nothing happens, then it emits the photon that was wrong for it as if nothing happened. Unless your trying to say that scientists don't actually know what happens within that time period because we can't measure it and it happens too fast...
  20. In order for this thing to work, wouldn't the universe have to be moving or accelerating in every direction at once, which mathematically, wouldn't that cancel out? If the universe only spun in one direction, there would be specific consequences to that, it would also mean that the angular momentum is instantaneously being passed through an undiscovered medium throughout all of space.
  21. The time it takes light to travel one Planck length, its very very small, maybe something like 10^-43 seconds.
  22. Well you know that angular momentum itself is quantized yet electrons still follow that principal. You know that spin is quantized even though electrons and other particles follow that principal, etc. This isn't exactly an x value, its just the recognition of another property which is that electron seems to be moving along in tiny increments of what may be Planck time rather than continuously moving and existing.
  23. Because as the photon scenario shows, events are themselves quantized. Classically, since things aren't quantized (in classical mechanics), an electron could move into any orbital or have any energy or move to any specific place or be in any specific place, but it can't; when an electron absorbs the wrong amount of energy energy, it doesn't do anything in response to that prior to re-emitting the energy, or in other words, the electron classically would move differently or occupy like a 2.5th orbital after it absorbed the wrong photon but before it emitted it, but that's not the case it just skips that part and absorbs the wrong photon as if nothing happened then emits it, so the movement of the electron itself is quantized, and that's probably true for all other elementary particles. It would be like if I threw a rock and you would see it frozen in the air, then appear to the next place momentum and gravity and air resistance predicts it would go, stop there, then re-appear at the next part, and etc until if you recorded all of the pixel movements it would make an ark. Similarly, an electron's movements, based on what you told me, also acts like this. When it absorbs the wrong photon, its like the electron doesn't have enough time to process that information, so it just skips what it would do and emits it back out.
  24. As far as we know, we can't tell one, but I'm saying more of when the atom itself moves distance. If I throw a rock, isn't the rock's movement through space actually quantized on some level, and moving in a pixel-like fashion?
  25. I'm still not seeing why a photon hitting an electron alone would cause either or both of them to become determined. Now that I think about it though, an electron could remain undetermined if only the photon was determined since the photon would only be acting as a particle and therefore be measured as one, unless particles are never determined and we just only see one possible state. Does anyone know of an experiment where someone shines a flashlight at a mirror to see if there's an interference pattern on the other walls what the photons hit after they hit the mirror in a vacuum while no one is looking, also free from any magnetism, with the exception of Earth's since it hasn't messed with the other slit experiments. Swan or remm, care to say if this experiment or one like this has been done? Cause I can't find anything on one.
