"A particle can only lose heat by transferring its kinetic energy to another particle (since that's what heat is)." So does this mean if a particle could wander like into a field of nothing but dark matter or some kind of vacuum, then it could not lose its heat? Or would the argument be that...

Dr. kaku will be on Art Bell Sunday Jan. 22 What can I say but IT'S ABOUT TIME! I hope to call in and nail doc about his claims that a black hole cannot be created without the power of the sun. :devil: Cern just might be getting there. Condoloences to Art on the recent tragedy but glad...

Seeing through the eyes of a quantum particle. I've wondered what that would be like for a long time. Would it be like determining the state of a quantum cat? Maybe it would see things so weird, the information would be lost in translation. What do you think?

whoa, that's a ton of information for someone looking at this in layman's terms. I'll get back with ya. :cry:

Well if it's a manifestation, we have to ask the trite question "why the difference between solid matter and energy"? I understand differences between things can be based upon different combinations of molecules, atoms, subatomic particles and so on but there's got to be a more intuitive...

Care to elaborate? (i.e. why would space push two objects together; I'm assuming you mean the space between matter is what is pushing).

interesting coast to coast show tonight This show sounds like Dr. Kaku's book, "Visions". Reporter and editor at the Washington Post, Joel Garreau, will talk about how we are engineering the next stage for human evolution through genetics, robotics, and nanotechnologies. Find a radio...

changing the subject... Ramanujan isn't the only one who had an interesting dream, it seems. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Thomason.html While at Rutgers, he put everything in place except for one step ... On January 22 1988, he had a dream in which his recently...

Maybe if we holler and scream enough, he'll visit this forum. :biggrin: I don't know what's going to become of this board- if it will stay as it is or what. It's been disconnected from the Physics Forum which does not bother me in the least. His website's forums have always had enough...

Well I won't really be shedding any tears. This place is so goldarn busy, I couldn't figure out why Cory and Mike would ever stick his forum over here in the first place. I'm assuming they're too busy finishing college/starting careers to be able to take care of it anymore. I know Dr. Kaku is...

I think Visions is more a look into the future. It's about future technologies and what we can look forward to in medicine, gadgets, etc. I think Hyperspace is more of a classical book in that it won't "age" as quickly as Visions will. Maybe we don't have glasses with the internet built in...

Dr. Kaku has amazingly written to some of us over the years, including onthecuttingedge yet he never shows up at the forums. Only once-in-a-blue-moon chats. He's a fast typist but I guess too busy for forums.

Dr. Kaku has often described light as not truly having been slowed down but given more area to move in, so it seems as if it's been slowed. Sort of like if you ride your bike zig zaggy, it will take you a lot longer to get from point A to B than it would if you biked in a straight line. You...

Interesting webpage. As Dr. Kaku (also excellent at spelling, btw) has explained before, it states that a lot of things are additive, specifically the dark energy over large spaces. The no speed limit to expansion thing really throws me, though. I understand that dark energy is going to...

Excellent reply. Excellent spelling, might I add. Some people think to be a good scientist or engineer or mathematician, you have to be a bad speller. But Ed Witten is excellent at spelling, so it's a myth.
