    introduction

    Physics Forums in the past attempted to host topics that allowed speculation and personal theories. Those attempts failed. Please read here to understand why: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-are-the-faqs-and-how-tos-for-physics-forums.617567/#post-4664231

    Insights Thinking Outside The Box Versus Knowing What’s In The Box

    I disagree. Instead, my position is that our current understanding of fundamental physics is close enough to the "truth" that to get closer requires ever-longer time periods of effort by researchers that possess ever-broader understanding of "what's in the box". Can you demonstrate otherwise...

    Collection of Lame Jokes

    "They had a face phase difference of one pie ##\pi\,##." So when added together they canceled out each other.

    Insights Thinking Outside The Box Versus Knowing What’s In The Box

    Best of luck on writing a paper that passes peer-review and is published. We can discuss it here on Physics Forums if and when you succeed!

    Undergrad KE of rotating disc

    Your experience is very different from mine. I learned about the stress-energy-momentum tensor from, among others: Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics, §12.10: Canonical and Symmetric Stress Tensors, Conservation Laws (GR never introduced.) Weinberg, Gravitation and Cosmology, Chap. 2: Special...

    Undergrad Exploring the possibilities of storing electricity from lightning

    But note that the world still lacks practical power from hydrogen-fusion, even though it's been "in research" for over 75 years. So I would advise to you read and understand the references I posted, as well as any others you can find on the subject, in order to realistically calibrate your...

    Undergrad Exploring the possibilities of storing electricity from lightning

    Based on a brief search, your idea doesn't appear to be very promising. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvesting_lightning_energy: According to Martin A. Uman, co-director of the Lightning Research Laboratory at the University of Florida and a leading authority on lightning, "a single...

    Undergrad KE of rotating disc

    Neither is an ideal fluid, since it's made of discrete molecules that interact in a way that prevents compression and friction, yet we can usefully model such a fluid as a continuum. Why shouldn't it be possible to similarly model a system of dust particles as continuous?

    Gamma Radiation and Electrolysis

    My point is not that you need answers before posting here, but that you do need to search for yourself and then, based on what you find, ask here on PF. In other words, we ask that you demonstrate at least some effort at research before asking us to do the same. The reference I give in post #2...

    Hello from a Normal Guy

    Welcome to Physics Forums! Unfortunately, unpublished personal theories, ideas or speculations are not allowed here per the rules you agreed to follow when you joined PF: Speculative or Personal Theories: Physics Forums is not intended as an alternative to the usual professional venues for...

    Gamma Radiation and Electrolysis

    I don't know if your idea has "already been tried", but it certainly has already been studied. Here is a very recent reference: Nuclear Waste–Powered Hydrogen: Tenfold Boost Using Radiation-Enhanced Electrolysis. (By the way, this took me about a minute to find by searching with Google. Can't...

    Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex

    But your post #27 explicitly violates the PF rules: Speculative or Personal Theories: Physics Forums is not intended as an alternative to the usual professional venues for discussion and review of new ideas, e.g. personal contacts, conferences, and peer review before publication. If you have a...

    Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex

    So you're describing an unpublished personal theory, which is completely off limits here. Didn't you read the rules for Physics Forums before you joined?

    Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex

    You do indeed say about Trifonov's theory: But then you go on to state: That description of the universe implies that the scale factor ##a(t)## exhibits a rather definite history in Trifonov's theory. How then can it be a "free parameter"? If it was truly free, it could just as well be chosen...

    Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex

    The proper 3-volume element ##dV=a^{3}\left(t\right)/\sqrt{1-kr^{2}}\,r^{2}\sin\theta\,drd\theta d\phi## of an observer comoving with the cosmological expansion certainly has physical meaning. What does Trifonov specifically predict for the functional form of the universal scale factor...
