Thoughts on Fractional Charge

2004-07-24 Thread Jones Beene
Just after the turn of the century, D'Arcy Thompson wrote a seminal book called "On Growth and Form". One theme is that 'form' tends to repeat itself on different geometric scales. Two-way mirrored self-symmetry of the kind made famous by Fractal images seems to be nature's way. One wonders i

first off, if shine a laser across a room here on earth, is there a shift downwards thats detectable from earths gravity? also, of course there is a force. thats teh definition of acceleration. acceleration is caused by a constant force on an object. if gravity causes acceleration, it is by cau

Frank, your emphasis is on conservation of momentum, which is important but not sufficient. You also introduce the mechanism of sensing the existence of a fixed field, which is irrelevant.  I ask how a structure can form when the time needed for one part to sense the characteristics of another pa

Storms question about the induced field

2004-07-24 Thread FZNIDARSIC
The induced field is not superluminal.  Take the electric force for example.  The force between two charges is equal and opposite.  The system conserves momentum.  Now one charge is moved.  It moves into in the established field of the first electron and immediately fields the force.  No time delay

Since Dr Storms has implicitly raised the subject of chemical bonds by asking, "How does strain provide the glue that creates a solid from atoms?", I would like now to deal with "bonds" on the macro scale. In a previous post in this thread (Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2004 11:49:31 -0700) I described a
