How to make the sine(x) return only -1, 0, and 1
Strange replied to Lightmeow's topic in Mathematics
I doubt it very much. None of which is in the slightest bit relevant to the question. -
Not in GR. Newtonian gravity is known to be wrong for this, and other reasons. r in the equations is the distance between the two bodies. Changing the radius of an object does not change it gravitation.
-
In general relativity, the equations inciude terms for mass, energy, energy flux, pressure, and other factors that contribute to the gravitation. Which "current formula" are you referring to? Newton's law of gravitation or Einstein's field equations or something else? And what evidence do you have that it is incorrect? Why would reducing the radius increase gravity? The Bohr model is wrong. Your questions are answered by quantum theory. As you admit it is speculation, we can ask the mods to move the thread. What causes this friction? And why would heat repel electrons? And how can you have heat inside an atom? (Do you even know what heat is?) What evidence do you have for this? Why?

Perhaps you should read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

The Faraday rotation of galactic clusters is magnetic spin
Strange replied to acsinuk's topic in Speculations
Is it? Why do they all have different rotations? Can you provide a reference to this research? -
The Norfolk Island effect or a magnetic link 24/7?
Strange replied to acsinuk's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
They are electromagnetic waves. Huh!? -
Either. Although, I suspect most people nowadays would consider the version with diaeresis to be rather pretentious.

Understanding particle spin and particle filters based on spin
Strange replied to robinpike's topic in Quantum Theory
This may be a slight diversion, but it might help to tie things together a bit... And the probability of a particular electron (or photon) getting through is related to the cosine of the angle between the first and second filter (cosine squared, actually). In the classical view of light (as a continuous waveform) this means that the amplitude of the light getting through also depends on the cosine2 of the angle. (You may have seen a previous thread in speculations where a poster started from this fact and thought he had shown that Bell's inequality was wrong/irrelevant - but because he started with the result he wanted to demonstrate this was just an example of the fallacy of begging the question.) -
It was brought up by the OP: I think he was using it in an informal sense, so thought it would be useful for him to understand what it really means. (And not what studiot thinks it means. )

Can or should we count information as physical entity?
Strange replied to 1x0's topic in General Philosophy
I assumed that "if evolution is real" was referring to biological evolution. Apparently I was wrong. If you are just using the word "evolution" to mean "change" then it is probably reasonable to say that (almost) everything changes. Hardly a useful insight. Not even an insight, really. -
As the Wikipedia page says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_%28physics%29#Mathematical_derivation_in_the_case_of_an_object_of_constant_mass
-
Have you heard of "scrolling"? Or are you to busy cherry-picking evidence to hide your mistakes...
-
As the Wikipedia article says. (But thanks for admitting you were wrong, previously.)

The Norfolk Island effect or a magnetic link 24/7?
Strange replied to acsinuk's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
It is radio signals, rather than magnetic. http://www.piha.co.nz/piha-and-the-norfolk-island-effect/ -
1. What definition of information are you using? 2. How do you detect/measure this information? 3. How do you know that it determines the evolution and presence of physically presented values as energy and matter? What objective, repeatable measurements have you made to support this claim? 3. How do you know that information exists beyond physical reality? What objective, repeatable measurements have you made to support this claim? 4. How is this different from your other thread?
-
Your posts are a mixture of incorrect statements, strawman arguments and irrelevant (and dubious) claims like this one: even if a PC is running in superuser/admin mode (but no one concerned about security would do that) then it is potentially vulnerable and it hardly matter swhether you use XOR with a PRNG, 256-biit AES or ROT13. I would recommend anyone reading this thread to ignore Enthalpy's posts as heavy on opinion and low on fact.

Strange replied to 1x0's topic in General Philosophy
What properties does that have? How would you measure them? No it doesn't. -
Maybe you need to read the definition of impulse, as well.

Strange replied to 1x0's topic in General Philosophy
You tell me. What properties does information have that become "materialized"? How much mass does information have? Also, what definition of information are you using?
