From: spudnik on 13 May 2010 23:51 UA, how much of the effectiveness of a thoery of "curved space" can be attributed to assuming Pascal's absolute vacuum, "in" space? > 1) GPS. thus: isn't the "recoil of atoms," the change of orbitals of electrons? > http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0402011 > atoms "recoil" when their orbital electrons emit photons. Photons > *must* carry momentum. 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.) > Think about coloring the vertices of a pentagon. There is no set > of 3 vertices, all adjacent to each other, but you still need 3 colors. thus: so, a lightmill is that thing with black & white vanes on a spindle in a relative vacuum? you can't rely on "rocks o'light" to impart momentum to these vanes, only to be absorbed electromagnetically by atoms in them; then, perhaps, the "warm side" will have some aerodynamic/thermal effect on the air in the bulb, compared to the cool one. thus: even if neutrinos don't exist, Michelson and Morely didn't get no results! > Could neutrino availability affect decay rates? thus: every technique has problems. like, you can't grow hemp-for haemorrhoids under a photovoltaic, without a good lightbulb. the real problem is that, if Santa Monica is any indication, the solar-subsidy bandwagon is part of the cargo-cult from Southwest Asia (as is the compact flourescent lightbub, the LED lightbulb etc. ad vomitorium). > Government subsidies, and fat returns on PVs? --Light: A History! http://wlym.com |
