   Crazy physics theories of GDNet
  Yes, siree, gravity and quantum mechanics are united at last!Anyways, seriously :P. This thead is for everybody to post his own ignorant quasi-scientific groundbreaking theory about a field of physics, so we have a good laugh. I don't think we had such a thread before.So here's mine!We know that each particle positioned at P(x,y,z) generates a gravitional field around it, right? Forces are applied to particles inside that field. However, does that field exist exactly at P, that is in distance exactly 0 from the source of the field? I say that it exists, and that it's indeterminate, that is the force can take any value from 0 to +infinity and in all directions. In any given moment, this force can be anything. So, every particle applies this 'crazy' random force to itself at all moments. Now, here's the good part. Let's do a measurement of the particle's momentum and position. If we are lax about the position and narrow it down to a large enough space, then the 'crazy' force permutations are cancelled out and average to 0, and we get a proper measurement of momentum. However, if we narrow the position down to a very small delta, then the momentum due to the crazy force gets more unpredictable. In the extreme case we narrow it down to a single point, the specific momentum on that point is completely unpredictable. So here it is, the uncertainty principle!Voila!:P   
  I think the space pipe is far, far crazier than anything I could ever conceive on my own.   ;Quote:Original post by PromitI think the space pipe is far, far crazier than anything I could ever conceive on my own.I don't know, the pipe sounds complex and hard to do. I deploying a series of satellites to partially negate the planet's magnetic field, and then funnel the resulting material that gets knocked out by the cosmic rays into streams that will be caught by Mars would be a far far more feasible plan. Might take longer to actually apply, but likely far less time to build.   ;Quote:Original post by PromitI think the space pipe is far, far crazier than anything I could ever conceive on my own.I always enjoyed the Victory Function.  Trying to combine quantum mechanics and game logic into a single function... brilliant.   ;  lol, I giant tube between two planets! Classic. Giant domes would be easier on the planet. I had an idea to build giant EMP generators on Mars across its surface to fake a planets EM field, but that wouldn't pan out well.Yesterday on IRC we theorized a floating country we would build to secede from the united states. Using helium (and we had sources to back up how cheap helium is) we would construct and levitate land. It would float between the regions of the earth so that the laws of temperature and pressure don't affect the country. It was a solid plan.[Edited by - Sirisian on September 26, 2008 3:39:09 PM];  If you really want something to just blow your mind, consider this.That particle does not actually exist at point P(x, y, z).  It physically exists at every single point in the universe.   ;  And?   ;Quote:Original post by PromitI think the space pipe is far, far crazier than anything I could ever conceive on my own.Up to that post I though highly of Raduprv, he wrote an MMO after all, but for some reason after the responses he got there, he reverted into the standard "Internet Douche", some people just can't take criticism.   ;Quote:Original post by CrimsonSunIf you really want something to just blow your mind, consider this.That particle does not actually exist at point P(x, y, z).  It physically exists at every single point in the universe.No.It has a nonzero probability of being at any given point in the universe, yes, but that's not the same as simultaneously existing in all points. Once the waveform collapses due to an observation, it exists in a single point; until then, it simply has a probability of existing at any given point.   ;Quote:Original post by ApochPiQQuote:Original post by CrimsonSunIf you really want something to just blow your mind, consider this.That particle does not actually exist at point P(x, y, z).
