Does a fat guy see more stars than a skinny guy? Or in other words, is the size of the Universe, a mass dependent variable, dependent on the mass of the observer? Steven :smile:

Hi, Could someone show me how to find the definite integral from x to x = ∞ of the following expression?F*dx = [(a/x^2) * (1/sqrt(1-(2a/x)))] * dx Show steps please.. Thanks.. Steven

That's the hard part =( Steven

Hi Guys, My algebra is a little rusty, and I have become stuck with this problem, would anyone mind showing me the right path.. The problem is.. a = SQRT(b/x)-cx And I need to solve for x Thanks in advance.. Steven

Marcus, Thanks for the link to Ned Wrights site, lot's of good reading to read through. beerr..oops sorry ... beeresearch :smile:

Amazing then how distorted space must be... Imagine observing one of those Galaxies 11 bn light years in the past, then rotating your telescope 180˚ and observing another Galaxy in the opposite direction 11 bn light years away, and drawing the conclusion that these two Galaxies are actually...

...yes excactly, the stars/galaxies appear to be uniformly distributed, how can this not be a contradiction, when the light from the most distant stars is supposed to be from shortly after the big bang? We look back in time and still see a mass distribution which is the same as it is now...

Tim, Thanks for super quick reply.. So what if we hypothetically counted all galaxies in a spherical shell at some distance r from here, then counted all galaxies at some distance 2r from here,... Would it follow from dividing the number of galaxies counted by 4(pi)r^2, that the density...

This may be a totally silly question, it's nagging at me and I figure you guys can give me peace. We observe that the Universe is expanding, and draw the conclusion that matter started of in a dense state..., .. so why is it, that when we look back in time, to the furthest observable part...

Steve, Q simply refers to the energy quotient as you describe above, and by rights all energy should be taken into consideration. There are always suspicions that the big labs fiddle the numbers and leave out some important information to make the numbers look better. After all they depend on...

I have set up a java page for anyone with a BTI bubble detector to calculate their Q here. http://www.beejewel.com.au/research/fusion_calculator.htm" At the bottom of this page is a link that takes you to a list of various fusion results. Steven

Yes, I am aware of the scattering problem and I am hopeful that some of the scattered ions will reflect off the inside walls of the cathode and get another go at fusing. This may or may not work. My latest reactor will be operational in about two weeks, and I hope to be able to run a series...

Your extracts are correct, the simple problem facing most IEC systems is that the electrostatic field can not penetrate a thermal plasma, and that is of course because it becomes conductive. So once that happens you can no longer confine the plasma and wahlah fusion stops. This might not be a...

Yes, it was a good article, and has generated quite a bit of interest in amateur fusion. I belong to this group and I know all these guys well, they are really dedicated and know everything there is to know about fusion. Here is a link to a short video of my latest fusion reactor...

Although the term is incorrectly used in the context of GR, Up as I have used it here, stands for the total energy required to create the space between all the masses in the Universe. ie. if you convert all space to energy it ought to be equal but but with opposite sign to all the mass energy...
