Note that the strength of EM radiation from a cell phone is highest when it connects to the tower, at the start of a call, incoming or outgoing.  I don't recall the precise numbers, but I saw the experiment on 'Mythbusters' when they were dealing with the cell phone / gas station myth.   So the hig

A body undergoing a constant acceleration at 90 deg to its direction of travel will travel in a circle.  Radius of the circular path is determined by a combination of the bodies velocity and the magnitude of the force. (Sorry Horace, I can't take the time to quantify all this with numbers at this t

It's a common misperception.   If you diagram 2 waveforms of different frequency from a single source, or sources close to each other, then there will be a spherical area of constructive interference which in a 2-d representation could be interpreted as a torus.   However, the waveforms are not sta

I would say that is a very good argument for the presence of an aether.  Whether composed of materons or of something else entirely.   I have designed an experiment (which I do not have the equipment to complete) which could prove the existance of an aether.   2 beams of charged particles projected
