This guy claims that the casmir effect is, in fact, van der Waals force.

It's a long video but it's worth the watch.

I can't speak for anyone else, obviously.
But, at the risk of asking you to put a target on you back, I would love to read further explanation.

I live in Northern California. Translation: I'm besieged by liberals who think of nuclear power --all nuclear power-- as contaminating and deadly. When they are pressed as to the reason for their phobia, for the large majority it becomes apparent they're talking about the once-through, light water, ...

The Gnostic/Mystic argument, as truly interesting as it is, it does not belong in this thread.
Will an administrator please create a new thread somewhere else and place those arguments above into it? While they're still easily separable?

I know I'm kinda resurrecting a thread that's been dead for 2/3rds of a month and basically repeating what the last guy said, but when I first read the thread I didn't fully get the final answer, so..... In the above article "Catalytic Nuclear Ramjet", Bismuth is not mentioned once. Quoting from the...

Not all solid fuels are monopropellants. Many (if not most) are composites of a solid fuel and a solid oxidizer bound in... well... a binder. (Oh. Right. That's what Tibbits just said. :oops:) Wikipedia has an excellent entry on solid rocket motors and the fuels of same: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

1) It seems to be for solid rocket motors, not liquid motors. (Perhaps for hybrids as well?) 2) I've yet to see a reference to what it's 20-30% better than. (STS's SRBs perhaps? Certainly not LH/LOX! At least, not in ISP.) 3) I've yet to see a specific statement as to what it's 20-30% better at. (Ox...

"If you are not outraged, you're not paying attention" ~Bumper Sticker You will note it doesn't say what, specifically, to be outraged about. :lol: Did anyone else follow the trail of links, starting from the first one on page 1 of this thread, to Singularity Technologies ? That guy was on some seri...

It seems some recent work with supercondutors is, to some extent, paralleling Johan's assertions. Iron-Arsenic Superconductors In Class Of Their Own Disappearing Superconductivity Reappears -- In 2-D The New 'Look' Of Superconductivity New Mechanism For Superconductivity? Two-Dimensional High-Temper...

I was thinking more along the lines of just being able to repeat your experimental results. Independent replication is everything in science. I would love to replicate this experiment in my garage. I need to understand it better, of course. But I'd love to try. It's a shame that we apparently canno...

Not just a law: When you move an electric field, you get a magnetic field. I meant to say "electric charge" not "electric field". [...]when a solitary charge passes you by with a constant velocity there is also no magnetic field. This is counter to what I thought I knew about experimental evidence....

Thanks for the reply. darn! As already mentioned, I prefer the digital media. But I understand and respect your reasons for not supplying them. (sigh) Hehe! I like Feynman too. But he was just as human as you or I: Fallible. Still, he was exceptionally good at describing his vision of the universe's...

I have just spent the past four days reading this thread, from page 1 to this page, much to the consternation of my girlfriend. :lol: So, Johan, I have a couple of questions. If they've already been answered, I apologize but I didn't get it. Please repeat and try to dumb it down. My trouble is with ...

I reckon there's three types of people: Those who can count, and those that can't. There are 10 kinds of people, those who know binary and those who don't. ------- You mean THC is not a cannabinoid? Dr. Mechoulam will sure be interested in the news. You must contact him at once as this contradicts ...
