scientific-thoughts

Well , it's a big subject and multi million pound industry . I'm a big fan of Elaine Morgan whos' 1972 book 'the descent of Woman' raised serious thoughts in my head. The book is an absolute must read if you are interested in human evolution . It postulates that Man at some point went back into a water existence, and covers the evidence supporting this [ Lots and lots] . I think it was written before 'Lucy' was discovered in an African lake , but that was just further evidence in my opinion . It was never taken seriously in the scientific community , I believe due to its controversial title [ 1970's was the Feminist era after all]. Anyhow, evolution is basically a species trying to maximise its population , so any extra energy requirement which serves no purpose will tend to die out over the generations . I can't recall if she covered this in the  book , but long hair in an aquatic environment would give children something to hang onto, and so cou...

Theory of the universe again . Time becomes a problem, but if you view it instea as ticks of the Universe ,life becomes slightly less strange. One tick if the interval where one double particles comes into existence . Thinking this way therefore removes the problem oftime flow speeding up asthe Universe matures . The 'size ' of the universe then becomes V=V 0 ( T +1)/T where T is the number of universe ticks and V 0 is the starting volume of the positive half . A doubleton , would fly away at a huge rate of acceleration ., with the negative section obviously decelerating rapidly once 'free' to maintain energy equilibrium . More later

I'll add to this from time to time , especially as new things come to light in the scientific community . 1. Positrons have been seen in space , and no-one knows what theyredoing there , with postualtions about WIMPs colliding and producing them . My theory demands them [ and anti protons etc - Ive not read anything about whether they've been seen as well ] . Thus prediction is that antiprotons exist in space happily as well [ although there could be something that wipes them out ] -- Ive been reading about these over the last few weeks hence its fresh on my mind . 2. Positrons have negative gravity [ how you find if they have negative time is anyone's guess] 3. There's probably more than 1 major Universe . 4. The centre of our universe is full of anti particles in 1 huge lump . 5. The shape of our Universe is roughly spherical , with 2 bits off each end , and must be lumpy [ yes I realise thats already known , but people seem to be surprised that it is , and my theo...

God ! This theory seems to explain how things got started and works . It explains how time started , how the universe came into being , why its growing and what time actually is . God doesnt seem to have any part in it , and has been a bit of a worry,frankly [ anything that advocates atheism isnt going to go down at all well apart from vrey specialised circles ] So, a method of incorprating theism into it ..... All parts of the Universe are interlinked via time. If we postulate that above a certain mass , intelligence comes about [ and at big bang , that mass was BIG{it would havecreated a huge extra lump of stuff} ] . Thus God could be the awareness [call itwhatever you will] of everything . If so , it may want some being that might at some point have to intervene to save it and so we could be gods' creatures . Tweak it to satisfy whichever religion you prefer/believe in , and god has a reason to exist if you want to maintain a belief ......

This is an extension of the last one ... Natural science has a habit of being extremely simple at the most basic level , then becoming extremely complex extremely quickly [ think of the 3 magnets on a board with an iron pendulum experiment?] . Thus if we can simplify things , its possibly correct to do so ..... Mass/energy has mass , energy a place in space-time and gravity . Einstein sorted the mass/energy complexity and showed them to be equivalent . What if gravity is actually equal to space-time ? Its difficult to get one's head around this , but here goes ... If the idea on the previous blog is correct , then time [flux] is merely a dimension in space with the larger the mass , the quicker the time flow . For an observer to view a particle of light which started at time flux t1 , once observed , it is seen as at time flow T0 [ ie the time flux of the observer- so no paradox there] . The speed of light is governed by the rate of creation/destruction of the void [ photons cant ...

If youve understood the theory of the universe by me above/below , then this is a follow on from there . Ive always wondered about infinity of time/ if the Universe started etc , and my idea above sort of addressed that problem but skirted it . And what exactly is time .... ? [it gets complicated from now on maybe] If you postulate that there was no time at the beginning of the Universe . .... Then these elementary particles were flashing about [ bit like the old zero signal on the telly ] and some started becoming stable with others zipping off . If these particles had a time coordinate [ yup the space time thingy ] , then the positives could have a positive time period and the negatives , well , negative . Thus time would be expanding [ backwards and forwards - yes Im saying time is merely a coordinate!!!! ] ..... and thus time can actually start from scratch ! [ and yes its still infinity , but NOT - there is no actual 'global ' time , just local . After Big Bang , our uni...

I always get vexed when this topic always appears in July? and other times . The govenrment at some point in history [ 1970's] decided that more people were going to get better results each year , a result which has been ongoing since then . [ and is now so ridiculous that the results are inceasingly meaningless] . Results are used by people for differing reasons : 1. so the government can show how good it is atgetting more and more people into higher education 2. The population can see how their kids are much better than the preceding generation. 3. Universities can pick the best students commensurate with their teaching capabilities 4. Employers can know theyve a good chance of getting an employee who can do the job required. For too long , we've been getting items 1 +2 ..... rather than changing the whole shebang , I propose the following : Let the pass mark be 0% ,ie everyone passes [ its heading that way in any case so why not accept the inevitable] . Make the number of g...
