Here is another interesting possibility to measure some force from
lower frequency. This has as well to do with reflection and
absorption, but done in a coaxial cable.

There are two known means of generating a reflected signal along a
long piece of coaxial cable:
1. short circuit the cable
2. open circuit the cable
The phase difference of the reflections is different but to use
substantial power it would probably be wise to choose the short
circuit case, which I believe returns the signal out of phase. Either
of these conditions represent reflection without any energy
absorption.

To absorb the signal there is just one optimal case, as far as I know:
1. impedance matched resistive load absorbs maximum energy
We could design an isotropic radiator load at the end of the coaxial
cable and should observe heating no different that the solar gain
model.

Let's try to measure the presence of mechanical force.
1 Joule = 1 Watt Second = 0.1 Meter Kilogram (rough)
Even at one watt we have a substantial (10 cm) effect on a kilogram
for a one second pulse. Well, let's hang the coax from a scale with
the load dangling. Do you think the scale is really going to move? I
don't think so, and as a loose proof we would here many stories of
amateur radio operators whipped by loose cables and that sort of
thing; antennas out of tune turning ito jump ropes. Well, some of this
can occur and mechanical stability is considered very important in
high power work, but this usually comes back to electrical and
magnetic effects.

With the sunlight effect we have enough power to truely measure on a
scale what we are supposedly talking about. This isn't just a pressure
that should be available. This is actual working power. That spinning
radiometer should be achieving more like a runaway acceleration, even
in a fairly dense gas.

Under the ballistic model the reflected wave should provide a doubling
effect, but under the signal analysis there should be no energy
transfer. Recall a Doctor Who episode where he is lost off the side of
a spaceship or some such and he pulls a superball out of his deep
pockets and bounces it off something and it ooches him in the other
direction. This is the ballistic reflection, and Who gets a doubling
due to absorption. The object the ball bounce off of gets the same,
presuming that Who and the object are in stasis. Are we not then
doubling the power of our experiment? Can we get twenty watts out of
ten watts? No, so there is something wrong with the ballistic model of
light, and we are certainly not experiencing any mechanical
difficulties when we hold a mirror of one square meter toward the sun.
As Thomas says, these effects must remain within electromagnetism, and
the ability of sunlight's energy to transfer to matter must be
suspect. I'm not going to support a plasma theory, but I think the
freedoms that Thomas takes would be the sort of freedoms that any who
pondered the problem long ago would consider. It is foolhardy to
dismiss such freedoms, and in this way the modern dismissals due to
disagreement with past science deserves its own label. We should be
careful about accepting this label to be 'science', for then the
practice of those past peoples is dead, and any who go by this modern
attitude are likewise practicing a dead form of science. This form
approaches a religion, which is likewise a dead form in its absolute
sense. In reality very slowly moving is a more modest claim. This
overlooks the branching structure of the busy bees; the monkeys in the
tree. Yes, it is exciting foraging for food, but when the fundamental
understructure of the tree you are in is shaky, then what? To beleive
because others beleive is no better than religion. But we are caught
here in the most scientific sense, because all fact is merely strong
belief. As burdensome as this might sound it is likewise a loosening
to adopt this realization. The blind leading the blind is what we are,
and we enjoy and 'see' tremendous things, though our sight is severly
limited. That we can observe the same things and agree is helpful, but
that is for two blind men. Once the herd forms then all bets are off.
It is this social aspect of the human race that is at the bottom of
our 'scientific' mechanism and is inherently troubling.

Now why don't some of you excellent physics people step in here and
staighten us out. I am completely open to falsification.

But I'm no better than a blind man

the M-set's property of "universality" or self-

is strictly an artifact of the floating-point spec (and
its many implimentations); however, monsieur M. could
only beg the question, over ten years ago, because
he never bothered to speak with the engineers
at his IBM fellowship. (he had not gotten any
further, when he came to campus & spoke, again,
couple o'years ago .-)

thus:
well, that is where the problem with assigning a particle
to a wave, a la de Broglie et al, comes. the assumption,
that causes folks to say "particle," is that because a quantum
(wave) of light is absorbed by one atom of siver dioxide (say,
in the photographic emulsion; or, other detector) --some how--
that it must be that a rock of light hit the electronic orbital
(although
this is never specified, as to how it could be, and the whole problem
of EM is also hard to describe, and is confounded
with the absurd notion of the "plane wave").

this is really all of a confusion from Newton's "geometrical optics,"
that is, the "ray" of light, which is just one "normal"
to the wave (or Huyghens wavelet).

about your five "cloture" events, the real problem is that

thus:
Copenhagen's "reifiying" of the mere probabilities
of detection, is the biggest problem, whence comes
both "perfect vacuum" and "quantum foam" etc. ad vomitorium,
as well as the brain-dead "photon" of massless and
momentumless and pointy rocks o'light, perfectly aimed
at the recieving cone in your eye, like a small pizza pie.

thus:
all vacuums are good, if they suck hard enough, but
there is no absolute vacuum, either on theoretical or
Copenhagenskooler fuzzy math grounds.

thus:
magnetohydrodynamics is probably the way to go, yes;
not "perfect vacuum or bearings" -- and,
where did the link about YORP, include any thing
about the air-pressure?... seems to me,
it's assuming Pascal's old, perfected Plenum.
twist your mind away from the "illustrated

you can't rely on "rocks o'light" to impart momentum

It has been performed under hard vacuum, and its till works... just
the forces developed are smaller.

Let's add some free links of associated work:
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0402011

Also, you may want to consider how "atomic tweezers" work... and why
atoms "recoil" when their orbital electrons emit photons. Photons
*must* carry momentum.

From: spudnik on
isn't the "recoil of atoms,"
the change of orbitals of electrons?

thus:
to put it differently, Bucky thought that "behold,
the tetrahedron" was a proof of 4CT, but
it just shows the *neccesity* of (at least) four colors,
not the sufficiency thereof. (and, of course,
since the tetrahedron is self-dual,
you can color the vertices, instead. which is to say,
almost all treatments of 4CT use graphs, because
it is exactly equivalent.)
