Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the nature of the physics of the lever, exploring its principles, potential connections to chaos theory, and the implications of viewing the lever as a fundamental law of nature. Participants share various perspectives on how these concepts interrelate and the significance of the lever in broader physical phenomena.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asserts that their understanding of the physics of the lever surpasses existing theories, suggesting a unique perspective on its importance in physics.
  • Another participant questions how principles of the lever can be applied to understand strange attractors, indicating a desire to connect different areas of physics.
  • A third participant expresses confusion about the relationship between attractors and the physics of the lever, seeking clarification.
  • A participant presents a set of equations related to the dynamics of the lever, proposing a connection to linear attractors and chaos, while sharing a simulation to illustrate their ideas.
  • There is a call to focus on the physics of the lever rather than diverging into chaos theory, highlighting a preference for a more concentrated discussion.
  • Another participant argues against limiting the discussion to traditional views of the lever, suggesting that exploring its complexities is essential if it is to be considered a fundamental law of nature.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants exhibit a mix of agreement and disagreement, with some advocating for a focused discussion on the lever while others emphasize the importance of exploring its complexities and connections to other theories, such as chaos theory. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the extent to which the physics of the lever should be examined in relation to other concepts.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying assumptions about the nature of the lever and its implications, with some suggesting that it is a fundamental law while others question the limitations of this perspective. The discussion includes references to complex systems and chaotic behavior, but the connections between these ideas and the physics of the lever are not fully established.

I'm back again. My physics of the lever is better than any other.

All of physics, even Newtonian mechanics stumble upon
The Physics Of The LEVER!

me & sexwish, we are one

hi,

I tauhght I was banned so I preregistered under dedaNoe.

How are this attractors, on the page you provided, physics related?

Hi sexwish,

First, you have a very nice website.
With a nice language feature! :biggrin: :wink:
 
My law for dynamics of the lever was:

F'=Fsoc(a)-Dsin(a) and D'=Fsin(a)+Dcos(a)

It is a sort of linear attractor, right?

Have you seen my simulation?
www.geocities.com/dedaNoe/_files/particle_sim.zip
For binary dept = 2 it's simple, two weights lever...
For binary dept = 14 it's highly complex, chaotic lever...

But can we, please, stick to my Physics Of The Lever instead of jumping to other theories (chaos theory)?
 
But the most phenomena in nature are complex, so why should we stick in the trivial side of the Physics Of The Lever, instead of exploring any possible state of it?

If you clime that the Physics Of The Lever is a fundamental law of nature, then, in my opinion, you cannot limit your research to some limited side of it.
