What repulsion force? harry> Why would the planets not drift into the Sun? Are the orbits all that swift so that centrifugal force is extreme? Humans have calculated the force of gravity that at first they assumed was equal for all objects but since have come to understand is stronger for larger ob...

We know what gravity can do, but! we do not know what gravity is. What gravity is may be a meaningless question. It is defined by what it does, and that we understand very well. Indeed, under GR, what gravity actually is happens to be well understood as a distortion of spacetime. So it's very likel...

Re: How much can I get in my suitcase ?
Hi Harry, I suspect there are restraining mechanisms of physics and energy/matter functions, that will in reality prevent a black hole from ever becoming a reality. kovil> Yes, ME! I do not wish the Earth's total annihilation, and have Angels watching over it to prevent that. Human beings are child...

G'day from the land of ozzzzz Hello God,,,,,maybe your right. But! What is your point? If you are not going to call it quarks, what name do you want?

Could Dark matter be made of particles? Quarks and such, that didn't combine to form regular matter? BMAONE23> You are on the right track. Dark matter is simply very, very tiny matter. Not quarks (because there is no such thing), but rather much smaller particles -- smaller than humanity can curren...

This is going to open many roads to heaven and beyond, where no man has gone before. Maybe some girls have. Harry> Yes it will be an eye opener indeed ...

Re: Hadron collider CERN
G'day from the land of oz The Hadron collider may find the smallest subatomic particle that makes up Protons and Neutrons. Harry> Yes, the collider will discover new smaller particles. However, there is no smallest particle. I create physical matter in such a way that the closer you look, the more ...

Re: An unliftable stone
I do play games. One is that I go to sleep and forget who I am. During this time I experience a loss of omnipotence. Until I awake.
Name of that game? Being Human.

LHC results
It will be interesting to see what new answers the LHC will provide. Evidence of WIMPs, Higgs bosons, supersymmetry, gravitons????? Even more interesting, what new questions will be asked? They are going to discover that quarks don't exist; that what they thought was a single "quark" is r...

Hello God A quarsar is produced in varies sizes. A quasar is a star like body that is produced via collsion or break up while falling into a so called black hole or via jet ejection from a black hole. The amount and speed of infalling matter determines the size of the so called black hole, which I ...

Re: Size of galexies.
We all know that galexies are composed of billions of stars. My question is are there galexies that are composed of millions or billions of galexies? Skyraider> Galaxies are grouped in clusters. Galaxy clusters are grouped in superclusters. Superclusters are grouped in walls. Walls are DNA of our l...

The output of a black hole is determined by both the size of the hole and its meal. Small meals and black holes produce jets. When a super-massive black hole ...

Gravity can be manipulated by processes that humanity is totally unfamiliar with, and frankly wouldn't be willing to accept A ha, so you do need to dance dressed like african wizzard! I knew it, I just knew it. As I've said before, humanity needs to grow up before they'll be permitted such knowledge.

Re: gravitons
even if so, control with what? since they are sub-sub-sub-whatever particles and do only interact by gravity, you cannot deflect them with magnets or any other forces. similarly, you cannot change speed of radioactive decay by dancing around reactor dressed like african wizzard. No, but radioactivi...

The best gravity replacement, in my opinion, is sustained, constant 1G thrust. But then you have that pesky fuel problem. And even if you overcame that, more pesky navigation problems. I think rotation is the simplest solution to replace gravity. Fire a few small rockets to get the hull spinning at...
