After watching a fascinating youtube video demonstrating the Lenz Effect using a 1.5T MRI machine and an aluminum block, I was wondering if it would stop a bullet fired along the axis of the machine. If so, would there be any defensive military application?

The Emperor's New Mind, and his later, more thoroughly developed ideas in Shadows of the Mind.

That the brain is too warm and wet to maintain quantum superpositions for any length of time has been one of the main arguments against the Orch OR model of consciousness. However, there was an article several months ago on this site about the discovery of quantum effects in bird brains which...

It was incandescent. It was not actually at my house so I don't know. There were actually 3 lights behaving this way, and 3 others that didn't

There is no on/off switch thanks

I am aware that the human body has electrical properties, But was baffled by what I witnessed Christmas Eve. I had a malfunctioning electric candle in the window. I picked it up to check the tightness of the bulb, and it immediately came on. I set it down and it went off. Three times this...

Read "Shadows of the Mind" by Roger Penrose. He proposed that consciousness is a non-computable phenomenon that arises from an as yet unknown quantum process. Great read from a brilliant mind!

Wow- it would definitely be difficult to measure such a small effect in the lab, but just to throw some numbers out there, assume: tungsten sphere of radius 1.0 m (approx mass 80,000kg rotating at 1000rpm) 100 km of fiber wound closely around the equator (approx 16000 windings) laser...

The reference beam and interferometer would be located at a distance from the massive rotating body.

I don't possesses enough knowledge of GR to know if this proposal is feasible (or even remotely possible) I would welcome any constructive criticism of the following idea for detecting Lens Thirring effect: Apparatus consists of a dense, massive sphere or disc, rotating at high velocity...

They are widely used in fiber optics networks. WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) allows many different wavelengths to be transmitted simultaneously through a single fiber. When the wavelengths need to be separated, a diffraction grating is used. They are no doubt being used to transmit...

Look at this website for great nutritional information. They explain the many health benefits of raw milk. One interesting thing is that many lactose intolerant people can apparently handle raw milk products.

Fear not! Once your body transitions to burning fat for fuel, you will have all the energy you need for mind and body. I've lived low carb for 10 yrs and will never go back. Read "Protein Power" by Drs. Dan and Mary Eades for all the details
