AI Thread Summary
Boris Volfson was granted U.S. Patent 6,960,975 for an antigravity space vehicle design that utilizes a superconductor shield to manipulate the space-time continuum, theoretically allowing it to defy gravity. The concept proposes a perpetual-motion machine, a notion widely regarded by physicists as impossible due to the laws of thermodynamics. The patent has sparked significant debate regarding its feasibility and the implications for physics. Critics emphasize that such technology contradicts established scientific principles. The discussion highlights the ongoing interest in unconventional propulsion methods and their potential impact on future space exploration.

On November 1 Boris Volfson of Huntington, Indiana, received U.S. Patent 6,960,975 for his design of an antigravity space vehicle.
Volfson's craft is theoretically powered by a superconductor shield that changes the space-time continuum in such a way that it defies gravity. The design effectively creates a perpetual-motion machine, which physicists consider an impossible device.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
