Infinite energy in a single particle.

Now, whenever I program my prop chip I will have to tell all the little beings inside the chip to hold on tight.

    I have wondered about how an atom and the solar systems are so very much alike....

    A central mass, with smaller masses orbiting.

    Wouldn't it be cool, if every atom was actually a solar system on a totally different scale. And our solar system was actually an atom at a totally different scale.

    Hmmmmmm...

    Well they're both governed by forces that obey the inverse square law. So it makes sense they have a somewhat similar mass distribution. If physicists are right all the fundamental forces ultimate boil down to the same force, but differentiated as the universe cooled and expanded.

    A lot of new things are now introduced. If Dr. Sagan were alive today, perhaps he would talk more about dark matter and the smaller Quantum Universe and less about the larger atoms. This new Universe theory states there are two doors adjoining to the Universe' space time and a fifth dimension that makes it possible. Although the Exo, the "up until now" limit of space time, has not opened from the efforts of our existing technology, i.e. up until now we cannot see farther back than the birth, however physicists have recently opened up the Quantum door and confirmed new dimensions of space, time and universe. At least in theory these portals are adjoining. The Universe is not fully understood, until we go through the Quantum door and find the beginning (of time space and dimension) is linked.

    Electrons and planets are very very different. A planet has a nice predictable orbit and electrons have orbitals. Electron orbitals are not orbits. If electrons did orbit the nucleus, they'd radiate energy and collapes (very very quickly).

    It would be a bummer if our earth kept getting knocked out of orbit (or to a different orbit) by some photo every so often.

    As far as I know, the size of an electron isn't know. The mass is known but not the "extension". After taking modern physics (which is over 100 years old), I started thinking everything is just an equation.

    Duane, I thought that there have been experiments to measure the shape of an electron.

    The unexpected result is that it's a sphere. They were expecting something more asymmetrical.

    I took my "modern" physics class back in '93. I'd hope a lot more is known about electrons now but I didn't see any information about the electron's size in that article. Back when I was told that the extension of an electron was unknown, it was known that, if it had extension, it was very very small.

    Another strange thing about very small things is their ability to tunnel. Tunnelling allows a particle to travel from one point to another without every being in between the two points. I think our universe would be very different if planet (or even human) sized objects could also tunnel.

    A universe would be an electron. Not solar systems as atoms.

    The correlation of solar systems to atoms is in the SUPREME geometery of the two magnitudes.

    This means that protons and neutrons are nothing more than various combinations of very large amounts of polarized electron flows.

    Or in the way the video says, neutrons/protons are actually neutral/polarized globular clusters of universes.

    Everything is relative to the scale, or magnitude.

    The ratio of the circle shows that depending on the magnitude you are dealing with, different laws are in dominance, at different magnitudes.

    This is what gives rise to a non-repeating structure, but one that is variations on the theme of a circle.

    So in this image, when the number is closest to 1, the laws of a perfect sphere are in dominance.
    Think of the numbers in the image below as a multiplier, for PI. (the numbers being pi themselves, also)

    It's my understanding that quantum mechanics governs the behavior of macroscopic objects too, but their mass makes the probability of tunneling is so low that it will likely never happen. But if you find your car outside your locked garage don't discount the possibility!

    Try to simultaneously conserve energy and momentum... the math doesn't allow it. And no-one seems to care:)

    And what about gravity? Something must be exchanged in terms of both matter AND energy. Shouldn't gravity decay? Wouldn't this account our endless universal expansion?

    Do we really need dark energy or would we be better served by turning the problem over to the General Accounting Office?

    Why do we need parallel universes? This one not complicated enough?

    WTF is wrong with these people? (can I say that?)
