Attraction and repulsion of e- and p+

In summary, electrical charge is the only way to explain attraction and repulsion of e- and p+. Yes, but you can also imagine the Pauli Principle making up a "repulsive force". Consider e.g. degenerate matter, such as white dwarfs, metals, H2 molecule etc. could you explain e.g. degenerate matter. It is better for you to google it, and then ask more specific questions.

e.g. means "exempli gratia" = latin for "for example"

scientific language often uses these abbreviations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases )

i.e. and c.f. is together with e.g. the most used ones

does it means that in degenerate matter like dwarf stars two e- can attract ?
 
  • #6
No I said that the pauli principle can make up a REPULSIVE 'force' ...

i.e you can have both repulsion from electric force and the pauli principle

But I read in your internet links that electrons can fuse in neutron stars of course at very high pressures and temperatures. Do you know if ITER experiments reaching these very high temperatures will be close to these extrem conditions ?
 
  • #8
this is simplified:

white dwarfs are degenerate matter of electrons, protons and neutrons, recall that the pauli principle are between IDENTICAL fermions.

in neutron starts, the gravity force is stronger than the degenerate pressure for the mixture of electrons, protons and neutrons, so the electrons will be fused into the protons -> making up more neutrons, so that in the end you have body of only neutrons.

if the gravity force is even stronger, so that it is stronger than the degenerate pressure between neutrons, then you will get a black hole...

Now temperature is no the only interesting thing. ITER will not, as far as i know, have such a high density that degeneracy effects will emerge.

It is also really fun that a professor in physics, which call himself scientist expert, don't know what degenerate matter is ;-)
 
  • #10
you can not be expert in every things I am expert in non Newtonian fluids mechanics and heat transfer but I never worked on these cosmological theories. I can give you the shear rate value in a plate heat exchanger because I do many experiments and I perfectly measure pressure drops, flow rate and viscosities but I never been in neutron stars to se what it happens with electrons protons and neutrons. I am sure you never measure it also :-)
 
  • #11
degenerate matter is basic quantum physics :-p

so how can you claim you have a quantum theory of gravity if you don't even know basic quantum physics?

anyway, why did you ask "But I read in your internet links that electrons can fuse in neutron stars of course at very high pressures and temperatures"?? If there is something you don't understand about degeneracy pressure, ask it.

I doubt that in 20min you could read all the links I gave you.

And one does not have to be inside a neutron star to measure these things.. we can observe it by means of telescopes etc.

why gravity becomes so high in neutron stars ? even if I am not a specialist of cosmology, and considering the huge amount of paper I published 15 years ago I think I have good rest and I am sure you find my questions interesting :-)
 
  • #13
The gravity is from the initial star, the higher mass it had, the higher the gravity field in its centre. So when the star collapse when its central nuclear fusion halts, it will (very rapidly, faster than 1 second) shrink (there is no outward radiation pressure from the centre that can overcome the inward directed gravity force). First the star will become a white dwarf, but if the gravity force still is greater, it will pass this stage (very very quick) and become a neutron star. And if the gravity is even stronger, it will pass and become a black hole.

I don't think your questions are interesting, well maybe for a freshman in physics... ;-)

And this is not cosmology, it is astrophysics.

of course I know all of these things but sometimes you have to ask the false to know the true :-)
I am also a good mathematician playing with differential geometry since 20 years mainly for fluid mechanics applications. And I used Elie CARTAN mathematical support to extend GR equations to infinitely small systems.
You know we have to be modest simply because it is difficult to measure things at these scales and to medelize them. In fluid mechanics we are using dimensionless numbers to overcome scaling problems then for atomic and astronomic theories...

malawi_glenn and delplace,

You're both experts in your respective fields. Can you please both demonstrate your professionalism by refraining from guttersnipe attacks? I am looking for knowledgeable professionals to consult with. So please act accordingly.
 
  • #17
They stopped almost three months ago. :uhh:
 
  • #18
It doesn't excuse such bad behavior.
 
  • #19
More specifically, I expect highly intelligent professionals (generally and broadly) to act like ladies and gentlemen; not like troubled teen agers. Or maybe we should start grounding badly behaved physicists and send them to their room without dinner?

if you have trouble with this, you can report the posts by hitting the "report" button.

delplace is not a professional in this field, he was working with milk or something like that when some science advisor checked him out

I am almost a teenager so? :tongue:
 
  • #21
I was grumpy (butthead girlfriend) and failed to notice the ";)". I also completely missed the "milk professional occupational ... study...research...".

Please forgive my occasional propensity to be the back end of a horse. I am sure my girlfriends (past and present) still refer to me that way.

me and delplace also had discussion going on in like 5 threads simultaneously, and private communication. He was a real "joker", he said many stupid things like that he meet the Swedish government to discuss who would get Nobel prize etc.

(but the Swedish government has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize)

He was a jerk who lied and also said many times that he is the professor and I am the student, I never said anything rude but always ended my sentences with a smiley ";-)" to make sure that no confusion could be done. If you end up a sentence that seems to be rude, with a ";-)", it means that you are ironic and is joking - I am Swedish and actually the most common form of humour here is ironic and sarcasm :-p :-D

I know I need to get eyeglasses. I've been procrastinating for the last 20 years. It's amazing I haven't run over any pedestrians. Maybe you should make your smiley face larger? ;-)

Freddie, you asked for this to stop. JTBell points out that it stopped months ago. Accept that you've got what you asked for, and for heaven's sake move on!

You've come to the wrong place if you want to consult with knowledgeable professionals. This is an internet message board.

Actually, I asked for civility. But I finally figured out what is really wrong with this website. The monitors are closeminded. They will censor anything they can't figure out in 30 seconds.

This website will NEVER EVER figure out the physics. A Theory of Everything is there for the taking if you know how to put pieces together. But the censorship and the "no pet theory" rules will prevent it from happening on this website.

In America, we have free speech. As obnoxious as Americans can be sometimes (yes, some of us pray for civility), we have become really skilled at discovering the truth.

How do you ever expect to figure out the Theory of Everything if you won't examine all of the crappy and stupid "pet theories"? By constantly referencing your physics knowledge, you entrench it. Every time I talk to the crazies about physics, most of the time, I learn my physics even better; once in a while, I come across a really valuable gem.

If this is not a "free fire" physics discussion board, then where do I find one?

Well, it sounds like you're looking for a very different place than this. Good luck.

We have an independent research forums where own, but still well motivated, theories can be put. If all crazy and new ideas with NO math formalism or whatsoever was to be discussed here - then we should have no time left to discuss contemporary professional physics.

If you want to consult a professional physicists, go to your local university - they will answer - do you think we have time for this ****? Come back when you at least know 90% of current research.

Current status of TOE is not that one is that desperate that one has to consult pet theories, String Theory is making great progress.

Some of the mentors ARE professional physicists and can smell crackpot and non-serious theories in 10seconds. They are not closeminded par se, it is just a matter of containing order. The purpose of this forum is to educate and discuss contemporary physics - not discussing our own non-serious pet theories.

why, he is just as the rest of the members in the crackpotter leauge.
He blaims the mentors for beeing closeminded and that they censor everytihng they don't understand in 30seconds.
