Can Space-Time Differ for Ionized Fuel in a Magnetic Field Near Light Speed?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the effects of magnetic fields on space-time and the behavior of ionized fuel and virtual particles in the context of particle accelerators. Participants explore whether space-time differs for ionized fuel moving near the speed of light within a magnetic field and the nature of magnetic fields and virtual particles.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants assert that space-time does not differ for detonating ionized fuel moving near the speed of light within a magnetic field.
  • There is a suggestion that virtual particles can have linear motion without a receiver, although this is contested by others who state that virtual particles do not move and are merely bookkeeping devices.
  • Participants discuss the nature of magnetic fields, with some arguing that a magnetic field cannot be directed like a laser to create a travel path, while others question what is emitted by magnets.
  • One participant expresses a desire to learn more about the equations related to these concepts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the nature of virtual particles and the behavior of magnetic fields. There is no consensus on whether space-time differs for ionized fuel in a magnetic field or on the emission of particles by magnets.

Contextual Notes

Some claims rely on specific definitions of virtual particles and magnetic fields, which may not be universally accepted. The discussion includes unresolved questions about the nature of magnetic fields and their interaction with matter.

Summary: Can a particle accelerator accelerate gaseous fuel?

Does space-time differ for detonating ionized fuel moving near the speed of light within a magnetic field such as a particle accelerator?

The answers to all three questions (the one in the title and the two in the post) are “no”.

@Nonametheone In the future please ask one question at a time and give folks some time to answer before posting a new unrelated question.

Should I delete this question?
 
Yes but I still think virtual particles can have linear motion without a receiver. I will read more of it soon. I still have yet to learn equations.

Virtual particles don't move. They're bookkeeping devices for certain calculations which mathematically (!) look like particles in certain ways.

Then what are the particles that a magnet emits?

There is no particles that magnet emits.

So what is a magnet emitting?

Nothing. Magnetic or electromagnetic field is just there, it's not emitted in the form of particles.

Summary: Can a magnetic field be directed like or with in laser or beam to create a fine path to travel upon?

Does space time differ for matter with magnetic properties moving within a magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
Magnetic field can't be directed as a path, field created will be around the magnetic material.
