Re: [Vo]:N. Y. Times article comment

about experts, I've exchanged and seen exchange an dposition by many experts on facts around climate story. for example for paludisme, experts say climate is not the main driver, but not too lood, and they say climate change is real . numerical experts say modeling of climate cannot be correct

If the fanatics were to get the reins and turn the "Global Warming" theory into an emergency, it would cause a shift of lower middle class individuals into poverty to pay for the emergency efforts. Many would die from not being able to heat their house, buy food, or go to work. Exactly so.

Bob, Thanks for explaining the nuances of the modeling issue… I agree. I’ve commented on this topic before in the Vort Collective… I did my thesis (1990) under Dr. James Telford, atmospheric physicist. One of his pet peeves was all the $ going into GCMs (Global Climate Models) when they

He's looking at this as if it were a black-and-white issue. That he's either right and they are wrong or they are wrong and he's right. I think there is a reasonable probability that climate change is being caused by fossil feels. I think there is also a pretty good possibility that fossil

Well Jed, you have seen the last half dozen posts that show just how rotten climate science has become. You might conclude that climate science is not a "hard" science like physics but more like psychology where theory changes like fashions over time because hard facts are missing. It wasn't

RE: [Vo]:Re: LENR reactors need magnetic confinement

Bob, Your reply to Robin touches on something I have been trying to articulate - the possibility that magnetic fields can have a synergetic effect upon regions of Casimir suppression or NAE as found in these reactors and skeletal catalysts. My point being that all these rules for

Re: [Vo]:Re: Magnetic moment .vs motion as source of magnetic field

hmmm I wonder... If spin is a spin of the electrons field, then maybe electrons are like earth moon, and for each revolution around the center, they revolve once so as to always show the same side to the nucleus. This way each orbit would produce one revolution. And it would mean spin only

[Vo]:EIA graphs shows the decline in coal use, increase in natural gas and wind

The EIA site has a wealth of data for every major source of energy. Here is an interesting graph of annual coal consumption since 1949: http://www.eia.gov/beta/MER/index.cfm?tbl=T06.02#/?f=A=1949=2014=1-5-12-13-14 In 1950 most coal was consumed by industry. Mainly steel production I expect. In

Re: [Vo]:EIA graphs shows the decline in coal use, increase in natural gas and wind

Since 2000, wind has gone from producing 0.3% as much as coal to 11%. You can see why the coal companies are in a panic, and trying to stop the expansion in wind energy. Overall U.S. electricity production has not increased much since 2007, so any increase in wind, natural gas or solar means less

The following link discusses the issues about angular momentum of the electron: http://www.physics.mcmaster.ca/phys3mm3/notes/whatisspin.pdf As suggested in the above link, I think that the effective energy—mass-- of a rotating electric field may very well constitute an angular momentum

[Vo]:Undecidability of the Spectral Gap

We show that the spectral gap problem is undecidable. Specifically, we construct families of translationally-invariant, nearest-neighbour Hamiltonians on a 2D square lattice of d-level quantum systems (d constant), for which determining whether the system is gapped or gapless is an undecidable

RE: [Vo]:Re: LENR reactors need magnetic confinement

Bob you said the light entering the field would regain its original characteristics upon exiting - which I agree with but it does suggest some interesting experiments of a different nature, shaped and nested fields of electromagnets or electrostatics [maybe both] with variable spacing [focus]

Jed, I think a problem in this dialog is that you are not an expert even in a related field. I happen to be an expert in a related field. I spent my career in computer modeling of linear and nonlinear systems. The climate modeling problem suffers in many ways from the same problem as LENR.
