    Understanding Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles', and the Conceptual 'What If' Question

    This is an absurd question, but the answer is beyond me: According to Boyle's Law, we get the relationship: P=k/V (k=constant) According to Charles' Law, we get: V/T=k And, P/T=k My question is rather an conceptual "what if": if we increase, say, the volume of the an ideal gas, it's...

    What is the Role of Religion in Society?

    Religion certainly has some value. Although it was originally a way for humanity to identify and become familiar with the world around him, today I would say religion is a way for people to develop morality. Atheistic communities (and countries) usually are more 'unstable' because religion...

    Questions concerning Decoherence and Entanglement

    I suppose that answers some of my questions. Thanks. Another I wish to ask is: Is entanglement permanent, or is it a temporary state of stronger uniformity? And: Why is it that when you measure all aspects of an entangled system you get 'quantum effects'? Classical logic tells me the opposite...

    Is Quantum Movement Similar to Teleportation in Subatomic Particles?

    So, is it possible to account for how a particle teleports from point A to point B? Is it a definite process where it 'breaks up' into smaller sects and then recombines in another spot? This is science-fictionish, but I can only wonder what happens so a particle can "teleport," especially if its...

    Is the world really a better place?

    This is true. The media act like thugs and technology doesn't always prove beneficial. Take a look at the 10 year old children playing GTA and Halo at such young ages. They become brainwashed as they cannot defferentiate reality from video game fantasy.

    Is Quantum Movement Similar to Teleportation in Subatomic Particles?

    Doesn't the quantization of energy imply movement is quantized?

    Dream reality and waking reality, no difference?

    I have only experienced a handful of "lucid dreams," but, to me, they didn't seem too real to the point where I would call them "reality." Humans live in one sect. They interpret the environment and make conclusions and hypotheses based off of their interpretation. But, unfortunately, what...

    Is Time Merely Constant Change?

    Time is a way of expressing change. Without change, time wouldn't seem real and without time, change would not be real either. You need to define time more clearly, but as of now, time is a human method of stating the "space" between events.

    Indisputable Proof that Electrons Exist?

    I know you are referring to an electron in a system but what about itself? If your model paradigm (no pun) is right, then can it describe single entities? Even is they are "models of the quantum state" explain how this is so and how it differentiates them from each other.

    Is Teleology Compatible with Scientific Thinking?

    Oh geez...both of these views of nature are pragmatic and quite snasy. I think science, as a thinking process, oringinally developed to answer the "why" questions (teleology). Today, however, common science is limited to "how" questions that govern human life (philosophical naturalism). Both are...

    Indisputable Proof that Electrons Exist?

    How does the model lattice explain "an electron" itself? Try it, I want to see it apply to an lepton.

    The way we see the world is what we want

    It is important to differentiate "fact" from "fiction" being fiction is what people want to see. Science is up for interpretations, people can really accept whatever they want; but they need to realize the tangible truth. I believe the human mind does help to shape "reality" but I do not think...

    What Factors Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis?

    Yes. As pressure increases, the volume tries to increase within the sode can. When there is an area to escape, it rapidly leaves because it is going against natural diffusion and being pushed by the CO2 inside the can.

    Can science and technology give us complete control over the universe?

    Firstly, science is an interpretation of the universe. It's cognitive principles allow humans to envision concepts like "controlling matter" or "true spacetime." I don't see how determinism still survives for people wanting to control the whole universe. It can't be done. On certain scales...
