At absolute zero a system is in its lowest possible energy state. That state need not be zero. juju

Hi, It is the group velocity of a light pulse made up of various frequencies that is said to go ftl. No single photon actually goes ftl, but the velocity of the pulse of photons appears too. It is similar to an interference phenomena. juju

Hi, Where I live in southern Oregon, I have noticed that both summer and winter temperatures have increased over the last fifteen years. In summer there are many more 90 degree days than 15 years ago. In winter there are no days where the temperature doesn't get above freezing. 15 years...

Hi, In the Bohr atom it's the energy levels that are integers, not the value of the quantized energy of the electrons themselves. For photons, each photon has a packet of energy, but this energy does not have to be in the form of an integer. juju

Hi, Maybe white holes are formed from superdense pockets of dark energy. juju

Hi, There only one physical meaning I have been able to assign to the wavefunction. This is that the wavefunction is a description of the property distribution of the quantum system associated with the wavefunction. I see it like this. The properties of the quantum system are...

Hi, I heard an interview a few months back, where a Texas wind power investor was asked why this type of investment. His answer was that he could make money on such an investment and wasn't doing it for environmental reasons. juju

Hi, Don't know if it is possible, but if it were, the quantum foam would be the ultimate energy source. As far as the virtual particle flux is concerned, I don't think it is identical to the quantum foam. I believe the quantum foam is produced by a primary quantum process, whereas the VPF...

Hi, I think that if you tried to travel in time you would end up in a parallel universe with its own time line. juju

Hi, This may not be significant globally, but to me and my friends it is sure a pointer. Our local climate has not had a day in the last 10 years when the temperature did not get to freezing. 15 years ago we had at least two weeks every winter where the temperature did not get to...

Hi, It may be that both dark matter and dark energy considerations may be heandled by the appropriate modification of general relativity. juju

Hi, Peter Wadhams interview http://www.earthfiles.com/news/news.cfm?ID=910&category=Environment juju

HI, I think that what is meant by scaler EM waves is that they are generated by voltage changes rather than current movement, in the simple case. They are, I believe, usually described in terms of the (Phi,A1,A2,A3) potential rather then the E and B fields. Often a fourth scalar aspect of...

I agree. Political economic and social reform in those areas that breed terrorism will be necessary. juju

Hi, A quote from: http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=4595 "Gulf Stream Scientists from Cambridge University have confirmed that the Gulf Stream is weakening, and this is likely to bring much colder temperatures to Europe within a few years. The weakening is significant: the Gulf...
