When will electrons fall into the nucleus?
questionposter replied to questionposter's topic in Quantum Theory
Electrons pass into the nucleus but because of the wave mechanical motions the waves of the protons and electrons never meet, but what's happening in a neutron star or the formation of a black hole that pushes an electron into the nucleus? Why does it only happen with those conditions? -

If something's instantaneous, does it exist separate from the effects of the 4th dimension? -
Wait, but the light moves to a really low energy potential, so it would get red-shifted a lot, and since matter is quantized, wouldn't a singularity not be able to absorb it unless it did in fact become matter? Maybe in the future there can be a test to see if the event horizon of a mini-black hole increases as you shine gamma-rays into it. A singularity isn't even normal matter, how could it interact with light as to just "absorb" it?

Telepathy - it works or maybe not?
questionposter replied to VicHed's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
Uhhhhhh, when did I say it was proven that it occurs in humans? I said it occurs in other animals and since humans have similar DNA to those animals that it might be possible to have humans mutated genes that allow them to sense electro and/or magnetic fields, although is there a difference between that and brain waves? -
Evolution of Human Generosity
questionposter replied to thinker_jeff's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
So not true. There's a BIG difference between when I watch movies and when I do calculus and number theory. In fact, studies have shown that when watching a movie your brain exhibits similar brain patterns to sleeping. -
You said the energy for the blue shift of a proton comes from the gravitational field itself, so doesn't blue-shifting enough photons use up all the energy from the gravitational field? I mean the Earth can run out of angular momentum form gravity (or the moon), so idk.
-
I guess there's some amount of energy confining an electron to an atom, so what would it take for an electron to actually fall into or get pushed into the nucleus? Or does it just never happen? Why does it only happen with particle accelerators? Can I make an atom so massive that the size of the nucleus meets the boundary of an electron? And if that happens, will nothing or something happen?

That neuron thing isn't a problem. Many many many animals distinguish between the electrical and bio-magnetic fields between their bodies and the bodies of other animals, it's not a problem at all. It would be that on top of feeling your own feelings, you could feel what other people felt. Or on top of hearing your own thoughts, you could hear other people's thoughts. Although right now I don't think there's really developed telepathy, more like weak telepathy. And that isn't a problem. The electrons in the bodies of infra-red seeing animals give off infra-red light all the time and they have no problem seeing. Another way which nature finds a solution. This I assume is because the retinas are like a one way mirror, infra-red light doesn't pass through the back of the retinas as well so the animal only see's the infra-red light in front of it, and since the eyes are usually on the head, this works out fine. -
So if I shoot enough photons near a gravitational field to blue shift them, it will eventually siphon out an object's energy?
-
That doesn't make sense though because the photon should have less potential energy. If I shot an infrared photon into an electron and it raised it up one energy level and then I shot another infra-red photon near a black hole from the same source so that it got blue shifted, it would raise the electron 2 energy levels instead of one. How did energy move from the gravitational field to the photon to allow it to blue shift? Because if I red-shift a photon in the way you describe, it inherently has less energy which is why it won't pump an electron up as many energy levels, so where did that energy go? Were there "mini" photons that got released? How does a gravitational field give and take energy in photons?
-
But there you go. You raise a ball, so there's more potential energy within the system, then you drop it to the ground and that potential energy becomes kinetic energy and get's released into the ground. The energy is "conserved", but it's location changed. What happens to the location of the energy in a photon when it goes to a lower gravity potential?

Question from an outsider - Uncertainty Principle
questionposter replied to tobindax's topic in Quantum Theory
Does that mean its the result of matter not having a specific location which is the result of matter having wavelike and particle-like properties simultaneously? -
Well where does all the extra energy go? If a gamma-ray goes to a lower gravitational potential, it then becomes a less energetic photon? And if so, where did that extra energy go?
-
Wait, an acceleration is a change in direction too, but doesn't changing a direction require a consistant increase in force or energy? But when a photon goes to a lower gravity potential due to distortion in the fabric of space, how is it's potential energy changing, since I thought it was constant? How doesn't a photon deliver more or less force or energy or momentum or w/e based on it's gravity potential?
-
So if one person travels at 99.99 percent the speed of light near Earth for one second, then people on Earth would measure one second and observe that the person traveled nearly 99.99% of 186,822 miles but the only problem would happen is that the person traveling 99.99% the speed of light would be a few seconds younger than everyone else? Also, if two people traveling at 99,99% the speed of light are right next to each other, will they not see each other's time slowing down because they are not traveling 99.99% the speed of light faster than each other relative to each other?

Telepathy - it works or maybe not?
questionposter replied to VicHed's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
Except I'm basing telepathy off of the mutations of sensitivity to electrical fields or magnetic (or both?) fields, and animals can distinguish between those and other just fine which is what your arguing against. In order for our bodies to "give off" optical light we'd need to be heated up to like at least 1000 degrees F. Even black bodies only emit infrared at around the boiling point of water, no way we are "emitting" optical light. Animals can see in infra-red light and their bodies give off infra-red light yet they can see fine. -
Really? No one? Ok well how about just the first thing then, where the EM force can travel from the singularity to past the event horizon?
-
But a macropscopic wave doesn't occupy a single position, just like waves on the atomic level. And in fact, the HUP determines a bit of properties int the sub-atomic and atomic world as you can figure out the dimensions of 3D space that particles occupy most of the time using the mass of a particle and the uncertainty principal as well as how localized a photon will be based on it's wavelength apparently. Waves don't have a specific position, particles do. When you mix them together, you get a semi-uncertain (still pretty unknown, but you know the "best" areas) location of a particle wave, also knows as the HUP.

How would it be virtually impossible when we can distinguish that many colors of light? We can easily distinguish that many colors of light because there can also be different combinations of wavelengths simultaneously. Also This image (when viewed in full size, 1000 pixels wide) contains 1 million pixels, each of a different color. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors.[18] http://en.wikipedia....ki/Color_vision So you can see at least 1 million colors right in front of you. There's also other animals which see infra-red light or the primary carrier of heat here on Earth, but those animals also have physical bodies which constantly give off heat themselves (or infra-red light) yet they can see just fine. Not only that, but what about those fish still? A shark can sense electric fields generated by many other fish yet their bodies generate an electrical field themselves, but they are still able to hunt other fish using the sense of electrical fields. -
But light always has properties of both, that's why the higher the wavelength the more localized it is and the lower the wavelength the less localized it is. I jsut don't get how it suddenly goes from both and occupying 3D space to only being one and occupying a 1 dimensional point.

Maybe "What the bleep do we know?" belongs in the philosophy section of movies. -

At this point I can't prove OR DISPROVE it. Although I guess someone could try and see if they could make robots that can distinguish between all of them, but like I was trying to say, just as with light, the electrical field that a neuron generates will be inherently different than what is generated by other things. We can distinguish between 5,000,000-10,000,000 different wavelengths of optical light, and I don't even know if we have 100,000 different types of cells in our body. Well w/e they are all involved in the single process that is the cell cycle, and when stuff goes wrong with the cell cycle that causes things to grow out of control, you get cancer. If there are millions of genes for it though, how does it happen in so many people? I would think that because its so easy to get cancer that there are only few genes which control the cell cycle that can get altered, which means if only one gene that controls the cell cycle get's altered it has a bigger impact, and also since there would be fewer it wouldn't take as much to alter them. This is also probably why eye color and skin tone are so variant among people. I mean there's still many genes controlling eye color, but the actual amount of dominant genes probably isn't that much, which is why if one little gene get's altered it would yields a completely different eye color. If I manage to find any links with specific gene names I'll let you know though. -

But if it's instantaneous, its infinite speed, infinite distance in 0 time, the disentanglement travels the length of the entire universe and beyond in 0 time, how couldn't I perceive when it happened on Earth if I was by a black hole if it would reach me in 0 time and it didn't travel distance? Maybe in quantum mechanics the dimension of time isn't always around. Instead of 1 2 3 and 4 dimensions, it goes 1 2 3 5 6 8 dimensions or etc. I guess when I actually "saw" it, as in I saw the photon that traveled from the dis-entangled particle to me eyes, THEN there could be a time difference, but doesn't the actual disentanglement itself happen instantaneously no matter where you are? Or how about this: Particles in the perception centers in my brain are entangled with some on Earth, and when they become disentangled I would know it the instant it happened as if I was the entire entangled particle myself, and I was standing by a black hole while the other disentangled particle was on Earth? -
Evolution of Man
questionposter replied to SaltSlasher's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
Oh it's also just random too. Individuals in the past randomly developed genes that gave them extra neurons or legs to walk up-right, and since those genes were so successful, they got passed on, and since they continue to be successful, they continue to get passed on. -

questionposter replied to VicHed's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
So... I need to show that fish evolved this ability before we evolved form fish? Also, I don't think just anyone has access to the genome of every animal on Earth. I've already provided you with a link showing fish can sense electrical fields (and since we evolved from fish there should be no debate there) and there's also birds which can sense magnetic fields. I guess your more concerned with a question of distinguishing between those fields if someone developed a heightened sensitivity to it like you said, but that's sort of like asking your eyes to distinguish between different wavelengths of light. It's all light, but clearly there's variations of it. It's not really superstition, it's just what would be the next level. Plenty of animals can sense things using electric and magnetic (or both) fields, but I think there could be some mutations where that get's taken to the next level where something has such a keen sense of it that they can sense what others are thinking at least to a lesser degree, like maybe chemicals from emotions causing changes in a bio-magnetic field or etc so that whoever had that sense would be able to sense the different bio-magnetic fields that different emotions generate.
