Fine, if your just going to beat me up and act like a roborg I won't bother trying to understand. I'll leave it all to the wise mystics on their holy mountain. Aparrently, I'm just not good enough for scietific knowlege.

I know that! I'm a year 11 phyisics student, I'm not even out of high school. Why would I try to understand the calculations behind quantum theory? Words, after all, are just another way of expressing numbers and words are much easier to understand. Does New Scentist Magazine use...

Don't worry HallsofIvy, I don't try to understand the math I just try to understand the theory. Besides, I always remember the words of the wise person who stated that, "If you think you understand Quantum Phyisics, then you don't know Quantum Phyisics". Looks like my friend has given up...

Ok thanks I'll look into that.

Ahh, of course the rotating "blimps" would be pushing air. So there would be no thrust. But then how does a smoke ring move thorugh the air? See the attached gif, this might explain how the craft can propel its self. Edit: Srry your're saying that there would be thrust right? But its...

Ok, I'll wait for the experts. BTW, thanks for the welcome.

Why wouldn't it work?

Ok, I guess I should have been a little clearer. I thought that wave-particle duality was the theory that light was a special quantised form of matter, that acted like a particle and a wave. I know that it is neither, it just has some particle-like properties and some wave-like properties...

Hi, A friend and I have been having a long standing debate on the nature of light, being an uneducated layman I tend to stick to the conventional interpretation of wave-particle duality but my friend maintains that light is solely a wave. He found this link at [link to crackpot website...

Hi, I know this sounds crazy but I just found this really interesting idea at wwww.amasci.com. It's basicly a plan for a hovering heavier then air blimp, which can travel faster then the speed of sound, without making a sonic boom. It sounds like a UFO and I just want to know if its...
