The super-comet idea doesn't explain the long-term variation over the 4 years of Kepler data - and no other star in the survey showed this. At least the Dyson idea accommodates it as the long term dimming could be due to a steady, homogeneous filling out of a grid in the sphere. The short term...

I would say also that restircted systems like conservation of energy may indeed have exceptions using a Gödel-like argument. Hence groups like Steorn may indeed be creating energy ex nihilo.

The recoil in the rail gun is unusual as the force is from the cross product Lorentz force, so the immediate reaction at the projectile on the rail is sideways, i.e. not linear. The back reaction is curiously due to the force on the battery caused by the magnetic field of the side bars on the...

Funny: all those examples in Goldstein, Feynmann, Griffith et al. consider only the obvious case of charged particles in flight. A current in a wire is not like that at all as the EM field cannot be wheeled out as an excuse for non-violation of Newton's Third Law. I.e. the wire is...

The quote from Goldstein applies to angular momentum - not to linear momentum. And sure enough, in the usual example of two charged particles moving apart at right angles angular momentum is conserved. But maybe linear not? The only escape there is the A.q factor in the momentum of a charged...

It's one of those funny coincidences, but just a few weeks ago I had an idea about how to exploit this N3 violation in wires at right angles. It's a bit like the setup in post 25. I had been looking at the problem about 2 years ago with some others but we couldn't see a way round. Now I think I...

Sorry for this very late reply - only saw this now. You probably saw some of Droscher & Hauser's latest papers where they make it plain it's more like a fibre bundle - at each point in R4 there's and internal space H8 which mediates the forces and associated properties. HD

Sure - the Tajmar results have been mentioned in several of his journal papers. EHT is to get an AIP paper out soon - passed 2 levels of peeer review and is at the final stage.

It seems to have demonstrated the classical Lens Thirring Effect alright. But anomalies in the superconducting gyroscope measurements may be part of the proof of a much bigger force - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times bigger than the classical Lens Thirring Effect of General Relativity -...

Hmm... What if a wire is attached to the N surface of a very broad magnet? Now if the current is switched on, and the whole setup is free to rotate on a wheel, what will happen? Will the BIL force continue to rotate the wire with the magnet for as long as the current flows?

Stop harping on with ththe same old rubbish , V: it's been said repeatedly that HT is a work in progress. By it's formulae, proton was 33 standard deviations away from the experimental values, where a standard deviations is 0.00023 MeV. But the much vaunted QCD lattice computations, with many...

I don't know what those constants are about. For the 1989 fortran code, apart from c, G, h, Pi , some values of the masses from other grpups are fed in from a table for comparison (e.g. the CODATA 1998 data): the output table then lists the program values alongside the CODATA values or also...

yes, gabbagabbahey is right. I acted as intermediary between Anton Mueller, who did the first excellent coding of the Heim mass formula in fortran and John Reed. Eventually John was brave enough to admit his error - the A matrix (semi-empirical) was indeed used by Heim, but only in his 1982...

Hi Orbb - no, only Heim theory uses the differences method explicitly. LQG also avoids infinities due to the quantisation of space in that the finite size of a surface element in its spin networks or spacti-time foam means that quantum fluctuations do not go down to arbitarily small wavelengths...
