I always speculated that the reason why women wear high-heeled shoes (such as pumps and the like) is they give them an advantage (albeit a deceptive one) in attracting the taller male. There is enormous selection pressure being imposed on the height of our species, with our species getting...

Yeah, it may read odd. But Einstein's primary (and only) language written and spoken was German. The best way to ascertain what Einstein's intention was when we read "muscular" would be to read the exact letter in German, provided you're well-versed in the German language. Cross-translations...

I doubt an umbrella would be very helpful here...

Wouldn't the photon give up energy with each reflection?

There are thinkers around today who are just as capable as Einstein or Newton (statistically, there should be lots of them), but their attentions are being diverted by the allure of distracting technology.

I like this thread; it's a good question. Here's what Einstein had to say on the matter: And here's where math played into how Einstein thought:

What about the Compton effect?

Oh my gawd in jeebus :-p I can't believe what I'm reading. This forum (General Discussion forum) isn't the Quantum Mechanics forum, Evo! Telling this guy that there are "rules against overly speculative posts" in this forum is like telling your students on the campus green during lunch that...

But is there a [conservation] law in nature that says an ideal mirror is not allowed? Even if such a reflective surface is permitted by nature, the Compton Effect would cause the wavelength of the light bulb's emitted light to eventually increase to ∞...

Heck, I can be the Moderator of the crackpot forum. My signature? "I shall continue to ban IP addresses until morale improves!"

Boy, you Mods nixed this dude like so fast it made his head spin! :) Anyways. I think guys like Dr. Quantum and like-minded crackpots are hilarious. And I'm no fan of Rush Limbaugh (yuck), but decades back, he had a crackpot occasionally call on the show who came up with all kinds of crazy...

I dunno. I think crackpots are amusing! :-p How about a forum where all the crackpottery can be moved?

Let me get this straight. The allowed state of the first polarizer is up-and-down. Those photons that are absorbed by the first polarizer are being 'observed' by the polarizer, thus, not up-and-down photons. What about the photons that passed the polarizer? Are they up-and-down photons? We can...

Like what part? Bell's inequality violations? Electrons sent thru Stern/Gerlach magnets? What? What is so nonsensical about QM?

Lol...
