Physics - July 2006

I do not want to go into details, but I developed an idea for light speed travel that I have never seen before, nor anything even close (hence the I developed it claim).

I would like to hand it off to some physicists, but I want my name attached to the published works, due to MY HAVING come up with the idea!

any leads?

I need a tiny magnet. I have a round one (a fridge magnet) that is nice and small, and it would be nice to have it in two halves, but I am worried that the process of cutting it might mess up its magnetism.

That we are already in contact with our future selves... as guidence! which government also would hide such a secret!

or would the government not know!

Fusion energy is an almost endlessly renewable energy source that is non polluting and produces no radioactive byproducts like nuclear. The oceans of the world have a virtually endles supply of fuel (duterium). Progress has been slow but with unlimited govt backing maybe a breakthrough could be made.

I was watching a tv show about diamonds and they said a diamond slows the speed of light by either 1/3 or 2/3 I forget. But if "c" is a universal constant how can a diamond slow down light?

if an area of darkness of cubed dimensions has a cubed density is the density area 2 or volume pressure oriented and if it is a wave is the area descibe as area velocity and if it has an area velocity could it be called a low density wave cloud or matrix wave v*m*area=pressure

What I mean is, if I were to snap my fingers and make the Sun vanish into nothingness, would it take the 8 minutes or so for the Earth to feel the effect (due to the universal 'speed limit'), or would it happen immediately? I have some basic understanding of field theory, and the theoretical carrier of the gravitational force, the graviton, so feel free to throw up a fairly technical answer (just not the maths behind it, LOL).

P.S. Oh yeah, no answers from proponents of 'plasma cosmology', it's a bunch of hooey.

It is widely accepted that information cannot be transmitted faster than light speed. Can anyone explain this paradox: If I had a REALLY long broom handle, I could prod someone who was sitting on Mars, and still have time to wander to my telescope in time to see them being prodded? By implication, if I had a number of rigid rods that I could push and pull, could I not effectively transmit information over limitless distances instantaneously?

in the northern hemisphere, water down a drain spins counter clockwise and in the southern hemisphere, clockwise because of the coriolis effect. but what about in space? do the rules of the coriolis effect apply there, because space is a vast, empty plain where newton's laws can almost not be conflicted with. knowing that, why do most orbits, especially earth, travel around the sun counter-clockwise? the coriolis effect cannot have anything to do with that.

I was on some sites yesterday, trying to learn more about magnetism when I came over ferroliquids. The person had pictures and said that it felt like oil when touched, but was diffrent for it was magnetic [obviously] and spiked up when interacting with a magnet. More or less the neodymium-iron-boron magnets. So why shouldn't oil be like a ferroliquid? I'd like to know.

ok, say I am on a people-mover type escalator
(like a escalator that u may find in the stores only horizontal, not at an angle) lets say that this escalator was actually travelling at the speed of light. also lets say that I am standing at the "backend" of the escalator and I start to run towards the "frontend" of the escalator......now heres where it gets abit muddy for me. If I am running on a surface that is moving at the speed of light(the escalator) ...........Wouldnt I be moving faster than the speed of light??
Even though I am confined to being ON the escalator moving at the speed of light . Wouldnt I be moving FASTER within my confines of the escalator???

Imagine a "C" shaped ring compressed between two plates. Will there be hoop stresses or will they be nonexistant as the object deforms under compression?
