Back to the art and artist concept. If the physical universe is merely the artwork of the artist, then the question of whether the universe is infinite or infinite is easily answered, along with a lot of other questions. Like I said before, this view does not change the way we need to practice...

Sorry, I was speaking for myself, so don't get your panties in a bunch. Just because certain frequency harmonics correlate doesn't explain why we generally prefer harmony to discord, only explains why there is a difference. The original question, however, does point to a paradox. My pet...

Why are some musical notes when played together sound pleasant and some don't? This is a commonly accepted phenomenon, yet math cannot explain it. Our science is at a crossroads where we are going to have to start factoring in the long view, way outside the box, and accepting some obvious, real...

Mathematics and numerology, to me, are the closest thing we have to science with hard fast rules, and even then only probably apply to this physical dimension. Everything else I can think of is our current best guess, and as I said earlier, thankfully allows us to make useful things. I think my...

Deadleaf, Physics will always have something to explore. If we ever figure it all out the MA (master architect) will probably change the rules. Even the known physics that we accept as true is very often revised as more is discovered. Infinitely small, infinitely large? How could we ever hope...

Riscilla, I don't think that double wall will help all that much. With no fan, I think 10 feet high and diameter to fit the size of the fire pit is no problem. The fan idea would most likely help increase the height possible. I don't know where you live but there are fireplace companies who sell...

I think that outdoor grilling is so common, along with the neighbor complaints, that a simple cost effective solution would have been discovered by now. With a very high flue, the smoke cools and sinks making the flue ineffective. Sizing a flue is a matter of trial and error. Commercial made...

I think that our existence is far simpler in reality than our physical senses would lead us to believe. We are better at experiencing than we are at understanding our world. We are inherently good and find ourselves in a corruptable invironment. Keep looking sincerely to satisfy your heart's...

Bob, Thanks for the concern, you're a real sweetheart. Don't worry I'm not gay. Not that I have anything against them. "To each it's own, it's all unknown, if dogs run free"...Bob Dylan. Anyway, I had the same thoughts regarding the homopolar design in that if the current generated was not...

Thanks guys for the helpful info. Follow up questions:Do you know any significant factors that would adversely affect grid tie in with the homopolar design?Advantages/disadvantages of a dc compared to ac homopolar design. As far as the other question at hand, having done a lot of mechanical work...

Your question about what resistance, in conventional generators and alternators, there is a design inherent that creates more resistance to turning with increase in speed due to interaction of internal magnet fields which increase the power output. With the other design I refer to, seems the...

Thanks, You got it! RS

Evidently, I'm not a friend of DA, but I will rework my original question to see if I can make myself clearer. If I'm not mistaken, when conventional generators are turned faster, more resistance is encountered due to the design that creates interaction in the internal magnetic fields. In the...
