p.s., with the experiment that I referred to, if it generates ch2o and o2, I would say that when a CO2 molecule is sufficiently expanded, that it tries to absorb an h2o molecule. Both thermodynamics and conservation of momentum allow for this.

Staff, And yet why CH2O is found in elevated levels in rain water over urban areas is not known.

mfb, It is possible that the Van Allen Radiation Belt expands our atmosphere. If so, then this means that our atmosphere between the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is influenced by this opposing force. By expanding gases in a cylinder, then if the force kg/cm^2 is greater than 1.031 kg/cm^2, it...

rootone, You might have just hit the nail on the head with the hammer. > The net reaction thus is necessarily requiring input of energy to drive it. < With the following chart, it shows vacuum in relation to altitude. And this is based on 1.031 kg/cm^2 as a base pressure. It would need to be...

@Staff, This is an experiment that I have considered trying. I have not found where anything like it has been tried. As for what a negative load is. If force reduces the pressure that atmospheric gases exert, it can be considered as a negative potential while a force that increases pressure can...

I will need to disagree. This is primarily because van der Waal stated that energy is stored under such conditions. It is also noted that in a Joule-Thomson effect that the temperature lowers because there are fewer collisions. This does suggest that collisions between gases allow for both...

Charles, Thank you very much. For me, I tend to think of Cold Fusion. Basically, the rearrangement of molecules to seek an equilibrium with their environment. With van der Waals forces, stored energy can be released when there is a collision. And it would be this energy release that could...

mfb and Charles, As demonstrated by Joule and Thomson, when work is performed to expand a field, that field cools. > Did you check the energy balance? < Conservation of Momentum suggests that the energy balance would remain the same. This is because the atomic mass would remain the same. It...

The reason I am asking this question is because photosynthesis allows for it. http://tonga.usp.edu/jsnow/chem343/chapter18.pdf Is it possible that in the tropopause that the Joule-Thomson throttling process allows for CO2 and H2O to collide or have another interaction that allows for the...

Extremely low frequencies are used for sub to surface communications.

Graham, I like your response.

Orami, If you travel in a circle, your path is infinite. This same idea would apply to potential other universes and our own. If everything turns back onto itself, then it is not a linear concept. This is a part of superstring theory. Some people use a ball of string as an example where the...

Mind if I ask a foolish question ? What if Einsteins' work was based on wave energy which would apply to relativity and Schroedingers' work applied to matter which would apply to quantum physics. And as such, they supported each other in their own right. But then, gravity could be nothing...

I like Einstein better :).

Einstein once said, "for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction". If you take Fermats' work and apply time/distance to the concept, that's what it equals. It could be that what fermat meant by path of least time is less energy expended. For light to change direction would...
