Hi, hoping for some help. Major: math w/computational emphasis (emphasis on programming essentially) Minors: physics and computer science I'm wondering what my job prospects are, in this difficult economy... (oh, and I'm a woman) Fortunately, I live near Fargo, ND, with a better than...

Tsu, thank you, good, helpful pic. And actually, I should have mentioned that it would be best if anyone can give me links to some illustrations/photos of what would appear if nothing was detected by any of these medical imaging devices. xykotik, thank you for your detailed response, very...

My research so far has revealed that x-rays would be black, ct scans would show a "table" only (whatever that means), ultrasound images would be black (I suppose a black screen on the monitor?), and MRI would show "noise" or k-space... x-rays being black I totally get, yeah so it's a black...

This is for a sci-fi novel I’m writing, and I actually posted this at another site but the answers given were a little vague. What would occur, either on a computer monitor (or other monitoring device, depending on the machine) or on a photo film, if an: a. X-ray b. CT scan c. ultrasound...

jk4, yes, your suggestion is helpful, controlling the randomness of location and momentum of particles/energy. I will definitely keep this in mind as I am writing. Thank you :smile:

ccrummer, I went to amazon.com and read some of the reviews about "The Cosmic Landscape" to get an overall view of the book. Seems to be an interesting book. I have read Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" so I am familiar with string theory and M-theory. From just a gut feeling, I believe...

Thank you, pallidin and NoTime, for your responses :-)

Wow, thank you for all the responses. Tompuckett, very good point, I will definitely include this. NoTime, probably some more details are needed. By the entity (and I don't want to describe this entity or other details too much, because readers can be good at tracking down spoilers online)...

vanesch, excellent, I really like your idea. And yes, I'm aware of the Large Hadron Collider...it would just be a dream job for me if I could work there. I am totally amazed and interested in high energy physics...unlocking the doors to the deepest mysteries of the universe...so cool... And...

That's okay, no problem. There is a good site to read about ZPE research, by well-known astrophysicist Bernard Haisch. Since I can't type urls yet, do a google search on California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, and you'll find his site. His articles are quite interesting. I emailed...

Thank you, pallidin, I'll keep this in mind. Do you know of any other physical component, something isotropic/homogeneous/pervasive i.e. everywhere in our universe that could achieve the result I need? Something similar to ZPE?

Quisquis, thank you, it's good to know my figuring seems correct. When I did the calculations, I kept m=100 in each case of decreasing c for the Schwarzschild radius equation, just an arbitrary number for m so I could see what would happen for the same amount of mass in each case. But about...

Dumbledore, yes, true. I'm writing it now, with what I have, but still trying a few things. And I do have god-like characters in my story administering the effect, because only those with such ability could carry this out. I'm still wondering about c -> 0, and the bad effects. I went to the...

Just to sum up what I'm mostly looking for, if anyone else would like to respond: 1. Would reducing c to c/2 cause an enlargement of matter from the point of view of a god-like observer (as is stated in the wikipedia article in my first post)? 2. Can an increase in zero point energy...

bkelly, thank you for your info, I'll consider it, and you can check out my online story at geocities dot com tpfpar3 (put a slash after com before tpfpar3, I can't post links here yet because I am too new) I have been working on writing a sequel to this, but then became frustrated because I've...
