From: sorin on 22 Feb 2010 18:58 Flame photometry, gas discharge and absurdities of modern science The coloration of flame due to a specific salt presence is a well known phenomenon. But, is it possible to get a consistent explanation for this fact in the frame of actual science? In the following link a comparative analysis of flame photometry and electric discharge in metal vapor is made: http://www.elkadot.com/chemistry/Flame%20Emmision%20Spectroscopy.htm Despite the simplicity and wide spread use of phenomenon, the theoretical interpretation is more then absurd. The consequences of actual explanation can be verified in any low level laboratory. Further, making a comparison between NaCl flame color and the glowing of a low pressure Na lamp, other inconsistencies appear in the frame of actual science In proposed theory, the entire frame of flame formation, blackbody radiation, flame conductibility, flame colors, etc. is changed. In this chemistry book a new model is proposed, but a more detailed analysis of these concepts will be presented in thermodynamic and physical-chemistry books. There is a general perception that actual modern science has solid fundaments, and there is a category of scientists, especially theoreticians which are confusing science with science-fiction. In fact, great part of scientific literature are becoming science fiction literature and parts of editors are now simple language correctors. For them the surprises session is at beginning. Thermodynamics, physical chemistry, electricity and magnetism are fields more closely to experiment and far away from methaphysical interpretations. So soon .. the first surprise, related to the kinetic theory of gases. Best regards, Sorin Cosofret |
