5th Fundamental Force
To the person that asked why "momentum made no sense to me"...just as an addition to my earlier thoughts above, OF COURSE momentum makes sense...but Momentum does NOT cause acceleration...K? Ciao my friends for now...Avron (Brian Harred)
5th Fundamental Force
We were doing great until the very last, when it seems several people (or did I not make it clear? Honestly, I am wondering, maybe I didn't) forgot about the acceleration.
It's very true what some have said about basic physics...you start something in motion, it stays...
OK everyone who has replied to this has said exactly what I needed them to say in order to better explain myself...thank you. I will attempt to address all important points in hopes of getting my point across., possibly furthering an understanding of why I think there may be a 5th fundamental...
### What can I say, I'm happy with it all; if someone has a question, there are always good answers somewhere along the line. Lot's of great posts with the math...which if I remember correctly I NEVER saw any math on the old board.
The board on Yahoo was a Kaku board, I don't remember if...
Dan...you said this: "Having time be the 4th demension is a distortion of the definition of dimension in my opinion"
First of all I too would like to know what your definition of a dimension is.
Secondly, have you heard of the experiements where 2 atomic clocks were syncronized with...
I am absolutely taken aback in awe of how good this forum has become. You guys are great...to say the least.
I stopped looking at the old forum on yahoo because of all the hair-braned, psuedo-intellectual bunk that was the bulk of it. Had the forum been this good then, I would never have left...
With all due respect Richard, I think things that are affected by our observation only applies to the Quantum, or microcosm...I think because of our place in the cosmos (if you compare our size to everything else, we are right in the middle...i.e., we are just as "big" to a quark as we are to...
One Last thing
This is from SECRETS OF GENIUS
Review of Imagery in Scientific Thought by Arthur I. Miller. Cambridge, MA:
MIT Press, 1986...I'm posting it for what I hope are obvious reasons:
Einstein did not need an elaborate analysis of experimental data to identify
the conflict between...
Mentat, what exactly seems interesting to you?
Backing off here and getting the math down before I carry on with this, I can see I will have to qualify myself...Einstein himself used gedanken (or thought experiments) to simply explain what he was thinking...but I haven't even done that yet...
LoL, I knew somebody would bring that up. All I meant was that at the time he wasn't in an official research/professional position, and niether am I. All appologies, can we concentrate on the subject please. I want to hear about it from someone who is "caught up".

Upon reading other posts in other areas, I won't be using the "I'm a humble layman" stuff anymore...after all, Schwartzchild was a "layman" fighting in the trenches in WWI when he solved Einstein's equations in his free time, right before his tragic death.
I still hope what I posted will be...
PLease forgive my ignorance if this proves to be nothing more than a showing of how far behind I have become in the last 3 years...but here it is:
I was outside mowing my lawn the other day, thinking about the universe, nature, etc., when I asked the question: "What force is causing the...
