AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of insulating fluids in relation to the movement of point charges and electric fields. It highlights the paradox of stationary charges exhibiting electric fields despite the Earth's rapid motion through space. The conversation references Sir William Crookes' experiments and raises questions about the existence of a denser state of matter that could affect our understanding of particle motion. Participants express a desire for further exploration of Crookes' findings and their implications, particularly regarding the "black area" in his experiments. The thread emphasizes the importance of curiosity and learning, regardless of formal education.

Can anybody elaborate on the insulating fluid, or point me to a good source which can?

This is why I ask:

First, we must remember that the Earth is rotating at about 1,666 km/h about its axis.

Second, the Earth is orbiting the sun at about 107,000 km/h.

The sun is moving through space at about 792,000 km/h.

And, it is claimed that the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is hurling through space at about 2,000,000 km/h.

But ultimately, nothing is stationary. So...


"If a stationary point charge, whether it be a positive or a negative charge, exhibits an electric field, and a moving charge creates a magnetic field, then how can this be true if we are already moving through space at phenonemenal speeds?

You see, even though point charges are stationary from our point of view, in reality they are moving through space at phenomenal speeds.

So, if the 'supposedly' stationary point charge exhibits an electric field, then exactly what is the electric field given that the point charges are not stationary?"

And, no, this is not me constructing or promoting my own theory. This is based on experiments performed and accepted by the community by Sir William Crookes. I'm looking for some intelligent follow ups to Crooke's ideas.

The magnetic field produced by a moving charge is a relativistic effect. It depends on the RELATIVE motion of the charge and the sensor.

As long as the charge and the sensor are both sitting on the Earth, the forces exerted are the same as if they are not moving because they are not moving relative to each other.

Therefore it is irrelevant that the Earth is moving. And all the other motions you mentioned (the solar system, the galaxy...) are irrelevant.
 
Right. Now, please bear with me. I have no money for a proper education, nor do I know a mentor who can explain these things to me. So, my terminology may be very rudimentary.

What if Faraday and Crookes were correct in believing that their is another state of matter?
What if this state of matter is denser than anything normally comprehensible?
What if this state of matter, in relationship to us here on Earth, was more or less stationary.

This would mean that the measurable particles are indeed constantly in motion, at least with respect to this denser matter.

So I guess my next question for the group is: What implications does the black area have in Crooke's experiments?

The following link contains the experiments I'm referring to.

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds?

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
