Well, I was searching to see if this was already made, but the searches didn't show a thread with my idea so here it is. I am making this thread so we can have a typical tavern discussion thread for all things science! Basically, a thread for everything science! Ranging from discussions about laws and theories, scientific debate, breakthroughs, discussion about new scientific breakthroughs, certain scientists/philosophers, and all that good stuff! So go out there and let out your inner science! ;P To get us going somewhere I'll start: what do you think the future holds for technology? I think our knowledge will allow us to overcome the obstacles thrown at us in the future, I mean, we have discovered so much and have come so far!
Honestly, it has been a long time since I have been on this topic, the answer lies in the magnetic and electromagnetic fields. just how positive and negative (proton electron) attract, same goes for north and south poles of magnets.
Well, it doesn't pull on frogs. Ever seen that? The water in the frog acts as a superconducter and it is put in a ball of layered magnetic feilds with the weakest in the center and the frog floats.
We need to find out about this thing. It is a form of one of the fundamental forces and it affects everything from atomic particles to celestial bodies.
Quarks are elementary particles, so, they are not composed of any other particles. An individual quark is not held together by anything because it is an elementary particle.
Now, fusion and fission release energy by weak nuclear forces, what if we completely crushed an atom into quarks and gluons? I'm fairly sure that would release an incredible amount of energy. Going even further, crush them into energy and an ounce of matter would make an ounce of energy. An ounce of enegy is absolutely inconcievable.
What you you think of combining the bubble of charged plasma with an electrostatic wall? Of course on major problem is the power consumption. (you might note the floating frog experiment is touched on in the electrostatic wall experiment.)
Very interesting idea. Going even further, in a spaceship it could power the sheilds aswell as the warp drive, life support and serve as a mega weapon.
so we would fight in space? but what's the point of that it seems expensive and useless. i see it's good for travel but would another country blast us out of the sky just because they don't want us? i hope not because it would be hard enough to delvelop the technology sepreatly. i don't see why they shouldn't join together and form one efficent space transportation system.
