Still cannot tell is the above paper and report is a practical joke or what. The paper has a lot of what it appears to be formalism that makes extravagant claims. Not being well verse in advanced quantum mechanics, I do not know what to say. It almost sounds too good to be true. If anyone can...

Could be the joke was on me. Thanks for your reply to my questions.

I noticed the research on NHQM in the following news release. New physics rules tested on quantum computer Published: 19.2.2021 Information for relevant paper is provided as follows. Quantum simulation of parity–time symmetry breaking with a superconducting quantum processor Shruti Dogra...

It is the same paper I believe. Either way it is the same set of concepts that in the previous link I provided. I am almost of the opinion that the theoretical approach does some serious "hand waving" and does not take into account in a rigorous way how quantum gravity mechanisms might be a show...

Here is the link. Already I have read of folks who are skeptical. Separating the media hype from any validity seems to be a bit of a challenge. Introducing physical warp drives - IOPscience

I had some questions about some recently published results on the theoretical aspects of warp-drive. Does the content of the research of Alexey Bobrick, and Gianni Martire proposed in their paper describing their ideas for a warp drive and published in IOP's Classical and Quantum Gravity lead...

I am doing some theoretical free-lance work on prospects of chemical rocket fuels with unusually high heating values and specific impulses. One of my latest interests is prospects for using fuels with molecules made of one carbon atom and 5 or more hydrogen atoms. Specific examples I am...

Hi Folks, I have been trying to find data on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine. I have found the data for oxygen but am curious about the use of pure fluorine in stochiometric conditions and the resulting upper heating value when the oxidant is acetylene. I am happy to...

I am interested in whether or not Bose Einstein condensates have been realized for spin zero stable oxygen isotopes and if so, the maximum density achieved for these condensates. I understand that the quantum spins of oxygen 16 and oxygen 18 are both zero so such condensates would seem to be...

Thanks for the reply TeethWhitener. That is useful information.

I am curious about the standard enthalpies of formation of carbon nanotubes, diamond, carbon buckyballs, graphene, etc. I read from physics forums that the standard enthalpies of formation of these allotropes of carbon are small. However, since diamond is fabricated naturally under extreme...

I am curious as to what is the value of the molar heat of self-decomposition of nitric acid. I've searched online and cannot seem to find the above value. Essentially, I am looking for the value for anhydrous nitric acid although I am aware that the acid is generally not provided in pure...

Thanks for your reply Lord Jestocost. Now I understand the reaction.

I am trying to find out the heat of combustion of one kilogram of carbon dioxide with magnesium. I am looking for results for stochiometric conditions of these two reactants. I have found the following equation online 2 Mg(s) + CO2 ---> 2 MgO(s) + C(s) yields a standard enthalpy of --810.1...

I am not sure. My memory seems to indicate that I read of the value of two in a Wikipedia article but upon searching related Wikipedia topics, I cannot find any verifying statements. Wikipedia is far from the most credible sources, so perhaps a more credible source is preferred. By a factor of...
