    Can Modern Alchemy Turn Lead into Gold, and What Does the Future Hold?

    Lead AN 82 and gold AN 79 are fairly close to one an other on the Periodic Table - so maybe the alchemists of the middle ages were on to something. In fact it was already done: There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of...

    No Picture on the CRT Television

    All of a sudden the picture on my Panasonic CRT television disappeared, but the sound remained. The most common cause of the picture disappearing is a faulty tube and the warning sign of this can be seen for some while. So it can't be the tube. There was a funny burning type smell from the...

    The Alkaline Battery inside My Pocket was Red Hot

    LOL yes I see how the battery would have a higher resistance and even tried an experiment with a battery and the keys. The funny thing is that it is hard to imagine due to me walking, how the keys and/or coins could have made a connection with the battery long enough for the heat to occur.

    The CRT and Electron Superposition

    So if you are saying that if a specific observation is made, then there is still the potential for other observations and hence outcomes to be made. This reminds of Paul Davis conclusion that quantum theory implied the existence of parallel universes. So if certain instrumentation is...
