    Why Van Gogh Cut His Ear

    Much of what you have posted is false. "People with simple and complex seizures do hear voices.." Only a few people 'hear voices'. Some people hear noises, few actually hear voices. I have never heard of anyone attempting to mask any noise with cotton, nor with headphones, nor have I have...

    What are strings made of?

    We can't "escape the conclusion that physics is a mathematical description of logic when we impose the requirement of logic and mathematics on our physics to begin with". This is my point. How can we avoid agnst? Do all theories lead to questions? It is certainly fun to pursue this, but is it...

    What are strings made of?

    Agnst It has been historically true that one theory of what is the most fundamental conceptual unit of existence had later been challanged by another theory of something even smaller, (and/or larger). I would like to know an elequent 'theory of everything'. Is it possible that there is no...

    What is Mass

    Mass is a tangable (or it's mathematical model) that the convention which we call the world, exists. You could chase the many theories until you had reached existentalist angst. You still have to get up in the morning and put on your clothes. They have mass. They do exist. My goodness, so do you.

    What is the morpology of an electron?

    By shape, I mean a set defined limits the parameter(s) of boundries of the photon cloud. The fact that a photon can not be seen does not mean that it cannot be mathematically expressed. A photon, for example, does not escape from a black hole. What would it's physics be, if it were a 'rubber...

    What is the morpology of an electron?

    Does an electron have a diameter? Does it have a shape? If so, do either one change as light is bent by gravity? What happens to the shape/diameter in, or near, a black hole? If there are any changes, do they affect the properties (laws) of the photon? Can one part of a photon be out of phase...

    What are strings made of?

    How can a string be elemental if it can be cut into smaller strings, or for that matter if it can be cut? Wouldn't an absolute findamental be indivisable? If a string needed time or space in which to exist, then how can bit be fundamental? To say that it exists but is fundamental is rather like...

    How does a transformer work?

    Because it changes the potential over time. Actually placing a battery would cause a change on the other side, if the battery were to run down, depending on the resistance of the circuit. It might be too small to measure. A constant VA power supply, would not.

    The Water Level Rises - Investigating the Melting Ice Cube

    Why is a magneto-dynamo electro - magnetic system self - sustaining?

    Why is a magneto-dynamo electro - magnetic system self - sustaining?

    This poses an interesting question. IF, as you had said, there is both a theoretical model in which one of the twins does not accelerate, but non-the-less 'comes back' at a different time (or age, as the case may be), and also if it is so that an acceleration need not be 'large' (you have not...

    Stealth aircraft and radar

    "Passive Radar" is radar which does not ping the jet or the plane. An object such as a Jet affects the atmosphere in many ways. While in theory, many approaches could be used to detect a plane which is wholly passive, it is easier to detect a jet/plane from behind it, detecting many changes that...

    Stealth aircraft and radar

    I think that acoustics has too many limitations to be useful. Phase array radar would be much better. What if, on the other hand, the radar signal were not a ground based signal? Suppose it was a satallite based transmitter? (Or a bounced ground base signal). Ideally we would use a stealth...
