Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the properties of Bose condensate, specifically its interactions with materials like iron fillings and ceramic. Participants explore the claims made in a fictional context and seek to understand their validity in real-world physics.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the repulsive nature of Bose condensate towards iron fillings and its inability to penetrate ceramic, seeking clarification on these claims.
  • Another participant emphasizes the need to verify the truth of the claims before discussing their implications.
  • A participant references a movie, "Spectral," which depicts Bose condensate in a fictional context, raising questions about its real-world behavior.
  • There is a challenge to the validity of the claims based on their origin in science fiction, suggesting that serious scientific sources are necessary for a meaningful discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as there are competing views regarding the validity of the claims about Bose condensate and its interactions with materials. The discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by its reliance on fictional representations of Bose condensate, and there are unresolved questions regarding the scientific basis for the claims made about its properties.

Why is bose condensate repulsive to iron fillings and can't penetrate ceramic?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Before determining why something is true we should determine if it is true. Where did you read this?
 
Just saw it in a movie "Spectral" where they created weaponry made of bose condensate but it can't penetrate ceramic and can be disturbed by iron fillings. I'm just asking how iron fillings and ceramic can affect bose condensate in the real world...

That's science fiction, not science. If you can find a serious source on which the discussion can be based, PM me or any mentor and we can reopen this thread.
