On Black HolesSven Gelbhaar10/16/2018 Black holes have been a thorn in humanity’s understanding of the cosmos sincetheir inception. They follow as a result of General Relativity which purportsthat gravity bends time and space, and therefore light, as it travels close by amassive object. When this bending reaches maximum (infinity in the case ofGeneral Relativity) then […]
The Paradox of 1 = 0.9 repeatingSven Gelbhaar06:35 05.10.2018 The problem is: 1/3 = 0.3 repeating. 3 * 1/3 = 1 = 0.9 repeating 0.9 repeating cannot exist in empirical/objective/physical world.Irrational/rational (decimal vs fractions) don’t exist. Let’s explore somepossible reconciliations. Maybe it has to deal with the base of our calculations (10 in the above

The Problems of Contemporary ScienceSven Gelbhaar20.09.2018 There are two main problems: the gullible populace, and the charlatans who prey on them.People are more concerned with feel-good explanations of physical phenomena than truth.Take the Heisenberg Principle, for instance. Because light is reactive, we cannotdetermine its three main attributes of speed, direction, and location. The charlatanspicked this

On Mach’s Principle and ConjectureSven Gelbhaar15:17 16.09.2018 Wikipedia posits: freely at your side, and you see that the distant stars are not moving. Nowstart spinning. The stars are whirling around you and your arms are pulled awayfrom your body. Why should your arms be pulled away when the stars are whirling?Why should they be dangling

On the charge of protonsSven Gelbhaar09/08/2018 We all know protons have an inverse charge to electrons, but how great is thatcharge. Current theory states that it has a positive (+1) charge, whereaselectrons have a negative (-1) charge however that may be incorrect. Inprevious papers we explored what would happen to a lone electron near a

Gradients of truthSven Gelbhaar8/21/2018 What do we mean when we say “something is like something-else?” We mean thatthey share some set of attribute(s). Maybe the same primary color; maybeweight; or maybe something entirely abstract like “good.” We deal with a ratherchaotic world, where nothing is precisely 1 unit of measurement, or even theexact same color.

To disarm a radioactive object, one must scatter it. I’m thinking that a shapedcharge of conventional explosives would seal the deal, using rare earth magnetsto repel a series, or even slabs, of the fissible material into the opposite ofa state of super-criticality. Now all we need is a delivery method/vector.Based upon expansion rate of slicers,

On antimatter interaction with matterSven Gelbhaar05/15/2018 Matter-antimatter collision results in heavier element(s) depending on how manyelectrons you start out with and retain through the merger. positrons wouldattach to electrons. Sheer # of extant electrons (vs positrons) biases theseinteractions to result in matter (vs antimatter configurations). if a positively charged nucleus merges with a negatively one,

that what Kant opposed as thing-in-itself to mere appearance (called moredecidedly by me “representation”) and what he held to be absolutely unknowable,that this thing-in-itself, I say, this substratum of all appearances, andtherefore of the whole of Nature, is nothing but what we know directly andintimately and find within ourselves as will; that accordingly, this will,
A novel zero-G engine that will actually workSven Gelbhaar9:14 AM 3/28/2018 Back in approximately 1906, there was a turbine that spun from RadiationPressure. One side of the turbine’s blades were white, and the other side wasblack. One side absorbed more of the radiation (a light-bulb in the case of the1900’s experiment/prototype) and thereby absorbed more
