The Theory That Tried To Tame Time, Einstein's Flaw - Rick Medina
Albert Einstein was the scientist who invented the theory of General Relativity. The remarkable theory is the leading scientific model describing how space and time operate in our reality. Its powerful ideas and mathematical applications continue to generate scientific debate even today. Two of... Submitted 132 days 3 hours ago.

How to Make a Homemade Copper Chloride Laser - Gregory Lewis
CAUTION: This project requires some knowledge and experience with high voltage electricity. If you don't know the rule about "keep one hand in your pocket" then you shouldn't be attempting this experiment. Not only does it require very high voltages that are potentially lethal, but copper... Submitted 364 days 17 hours ago.

Nuclear Power Stations of the World, and the Countries that Host Them - Mogama
The tragic scenario in Japan should put all of us on notice that keeping nuclear power stations safe is not entirely up to humans anymore. Mindless earthquakes, tsunamis, storms and other natural disasters have a huge say-so in whether or not one or more nuke power plants become radiative... Submitted 325 days 2 hours ago.

Transitional Energy Theory and the Issue of Singularity & Eleven Dimensions, A Defense of T.E.T. - Rick Medina
In a episode of Nova's the Elegant Universe (a PBS television series), it was claimed that a theory which could explain everything has been established. The most difficult problem in achieving a theory of Everything was that of Singularity. Singularity is a hypothetical problem relating to what... Submitted 330 days 8 hours ago.

The Invisible Ether and Michelson Morley - - mike strauss
Modern scientists adopted the ancient concept of the ether to explain the fundamental nature of the universe. Einstein allegedly dethroned the ether concept with his space time continuum. In spite of this, we might have to revisit the ether concept. The concept of the invisible ether or... Submitted 1 year 192 days ago.

Super Hadron Collider, Doomsday Machine Still Uncertain - Joel Hendon
Most are familiar with the large hadron collider built by CERN (French acronym for European Organization for Nuclear Research). If you are one who is not very familiar with it I suggest that you might want to read my article # 314746 "Super Collider Extraordinary, Doomsday Machine?" before you...

Isn't It Time For the Metric System To Stop Going Around In Circles? - - Philip Yaffe
Growing up in the United States in the 1950s, I was used to such things as inches, feet, yards; ounces (liquid and solid), pints, pounds, etc. Then I entered my first physics class and was bowled over by the metric system. "My God, this is so much better! Why don't we use this?" I... Submitted 3 years 186 days ago.

Black Holes, Super Colliders And The Bible - Joel Hendon
Black Holes, dark energy, big bangs, and the like are ideas which come into scientific minds when they don't have a clue what is causing, whatever they see happening. I'm sure that the wheels in many of their brains become so absorbed with these phenomena that they lose lots of sleep at night.... Submitted 3 years 304 days ago.

Super Collider Extraordinary, Doomsday Machine? - Joel Hendon
My limited knowledge of physics causes me to rely greatly on others with much greater knowledge. Studies of atom splitting and atom fusing has been going on for almost a century now. It was such a tedious and complex study that it took years of ingenious mathematical computations to master the... Submitted 3 years 318 days ago.

What is Gravity and Why Does it Work? - Burt Jordaan
Even today, gravity is still a mysterious force, if it is a force at all. We all know the effects of gravity and how difficult it is to work against it. Think about climbing a long staircase. What is it that tries to pull you down? Obviously it is the mass of Earth, but how does mass accomplish... Submitted 4 years 208 days ago.

Some Like it Hot - Some Like Physics, how Come? - Thomas Oestereich
If you think about it, physics is at the root of many human activities. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the majority of people don't like it and keep away, actually: This seems to be the normal way to feel towards this subject. This includes many people who usually are very motivated to get... Submitted 5 years 41 days ago.

E=mc2 is Wrong - Einstein's Special Relativity Fundamentally Flawed - mike strauss
In 1905, Albert Einstein published 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies' now known as Special Relativity this theory revolutionized geometry, math, physics, science and the classical perspective of the universe as understood since Newton's time. However, were there intrinsic errors in... Submitted 6 years 67 days ago.

Methods of Improving Boiler Efficiency - Thomas Yoon
With the rising cost of fuel prices, industries that use steam boilers for heating or power generation are hard pressed to operate at peak efficiencies. While steam consumption, leakages, and other heat transmission losses can contribute to the overall energy bill, this article focuses on the... Submitted 6 years 209 days ago.

Biophysics: Advanced Knowledge Absorption Techniques - Jim Ray
As humanity and its understanding of inter-conscious existence continue to evolve, so does the mind’s capacity to interpret a greater understanding of its overall capability, both collectively and individually. Broader access to central knowledge resources such as the Internet, libraries, and... Submitted 6 years 223 days ago.

Sophus’ choice: Redefining the role of Ancient Greek scholars in modern society - altspace
It is known by most high school students that Ancient Greek scholars were very adept in philosophy (from ‘ philos ’ and ‘ sophos ’), math (geometry), debates, and music. They depicted the universe as a set of harmonious arrangement of circles (the most idealistic shape in their mind). Submitted 7 years 47 days ago.

Transducers - Thomas Yoon
Complex control systems all make use of signals that can be easily measured and altered remotely. Automatically operated machines or actuators need to be powered either by electrical motors, pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The most common signals sent out from a transducer are electrical...

Cooling Towers - Workhorses of Industries - Thomas Yoon
Industrial Processes usually produces a lot of heat. Air-conditioning also removes heat from the indoor areas through heat exchangers. Where does all the heat go? All these heat has to be removed. If you are not near the sea, you have to use cooling towers to cool down your warm water. ... Submitted 7 years 70 days ago.

Boiler Water Chemical Treatment - Thomas Yoon
A boiler is used for generating steam. It does this by heating water to its boiling point, after which steam will evaporate from it. When you boil a kettle of water, you will shut off the fire or electric power when the water comes to a boil. No so with a steam boiler. Generation of steam... Submitted 7 years 70 days ago.

Boiler Manhole Safety - Thomas Yoon
Boiler inspections are necessary in order to find out the effectiveness of the boiler water chemical treatment. It is also useful to detect any faults or potential weakness in the steel structures, plates and shells so that accidents can be avoided. However, even entering the boiler for...

Boiler Inspection - Thomas Yoon
A steam boiler is a pressure vessel with a difference. The vessel is subjected to heat stress of expansion and contraction, internal and external corrosion, as well as intense heating on some of its surfaces. If we are not careful, the steam pressure can rise up very high, and it can become a... Submitted 7 years 70 days ago.

Mathematics vs Physics - - Johan Hansson
Mathematics isn't science. In fact, its approach is exactly the opposite compared to, for example, physics. Mathematics is an elaborate game, in which it is decided from the outset to play by the given rules. Then one proceeds by proving theorems; truths already implicitly hidden in these rules....

Feynman vs. Zwicky - - Johan Hansson
Richard Feynman was my hero when I studied physics. Although I never got to meet him in person before he passed away (in 1988) he made a great impression and impact on me.
