Starship Asterisk*

But could a composite particle explain the particle-wave dual nature? How much work has been done to determine if the photon is a single entity? There's nothing that needs explaining. The only problem is your lack of acceptance of any theory that can't be reduced to billiard-ball equivalence. As yo...

This forum most days attracts two or three comments unless the comments are senseless argument, accusation, name calling, etc. between three or four main posters here. This forum is valueless as a scientific source except for the photos, many of the explanations of the photos, the odd 'maverick' who...

I would argue that point but this is not the Forum to do so.

You would lose the argument, Astromisled. Read more carefully.

I sugest politely, Orca, that you find something better to do with your time than compose long winded and purposeless and pointless and innacurate posts such as you have done here. By the way, you sound so much like Chris Peterson that if I could check your IPs I certainly would. I'd suggest polite...

Satyendra Bose claimed that all photons are identical indistinguishable particles and what the consequences of that condition would be. His theory has hel...

As an outdoor's enthusiast I've seen rock like this several times .. does that mean they're all meterorites? Could I become rich selling them? Or is the rock simply volcanic, the cavities created by gas bubbles.

North Star ,, I do not believe in any God, Sorry.

Mark, I did not use the word 'God' 'god' or 'gad' nor any of the known names of God.

Sigh. Once more into the breach. Let's examine two quotes from Northstar: ------------------ Qute a difference between something seen and something imagined. Despite Einstein saying, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" there is no proof of any kind that Black Holes exist, so yo...

Oh, Right.. Ok .. Can you just run this part past me again please... 1 trillion , billion square light years ,, filled with energy/matter. Could you show me how i can cram it into nothing? What was that about a Lunatic Fringe? You don't. Why would you want to? Unless, of course, you are a part of t...

I hear the song you are singing, Astrolullabi, good tune, pleasant invention of words also.

It follows the same line as "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, Teach a man (how and where) to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life." If there are fish to be caught .. if the man or woman (fisher) is healthy and strong enough to fish .. if the fisher has the proper equipmen...

Others have already done so, PHDs, John Moffat being only one of those. Of course they have been labelled "fringe". Fun with John Moffat When I think of John Moffat, (and I don't, often), I'm reminded of the song Lunatic Fringe . Lunatic fringe I know you're out there You're in hiding And...

By your logic, there is no proof that electrons exist, either. Most of what we observe in nature we observe indirectly. And the observations of black holes are extensive. The observations are of effects which may be caused by something. There is no proof whatsoever that Black Holes are causing the ...

What if the particle (photon) were actually two particles (on-photon and off-photon) whose energies interact with each other to create a wave, but with the two particles registering as one particle? You still get interference fringes if you use three slits instead of two in the experiment... But co...

Quantum Astronomy: Information in the Universe Space.com - 2009 August 20 To quickly summarize the preceding series on the quantum astronomy, in the first article (Quantum Astronomy: The Double Slit Experiment) we looked at the double-slit experiment and how it appears to indicate that a single par...

I think you are picking nits. While it may be true that life ( extremeophiles ) exists on Earth under extreme conditions, no one would consider those conditions habitable . However, recognition that life can exist under those conditions fuels the search for life on Mars, Europa, Enceladus, et al, b...

But, the gasses on Jupiter and Saturn and not liquid. How would their volumes compare to water on earth if they were liquified? Considering that Jupiter is 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets in our Solar System combined, I would still say that water on Earth is negligible. I understand tha...

Given that, I don't think it is necessary to qualify habitable as meaning habitable to human life . I think it is understood. Given that 60 percent of marriages end in divorce, and those divorces occuring of course between people who at one time enjoyed perfect communication, I think nothing should...

You have to admit that the predominance of hydrogen and helium on those 5 most massive objects in the solar system far out weighs the presence of water on any of the other planets and moons, including Earth. But, the gasses on Jupiter and Saturn are not liquid. How would their volumes compare to wa...

I hope we discover the whole shabang, god particles, a gang of other dementions, worm wholes.

And then we will be left to discover the Director or Directive Energy of those particles and dimensions?

Assuming there are Black Holes. Kind of like saying, "assuming there are stars". You'll not find many astronomers who have any significant doubt that black holes exist. There is just too much observational evidence, with those observations in perfect agreement with what theory predicts we...

"Water water everywhere .... " I've read that water is the most common substance in the universe. I believe that hydrogen is the most abundant material in the universe, followed by helium. Even if you were talking molecular substances, I believe that molecular hydrogen is far more abundan...
