Downloaded Mandelbulb3D Fractal software for free. Am amazed at the artistic potential the software offers artists. You can animate your work, and in combination with other free software, such as the video editor OpenShot, WoW...there are no limits. A catch phrase that got to me was this, " The infinite in the finite." Through Mandelbulb3D, the infinite can truly be found. Mandelbulb3D Software It downloads as a zip file. So, you have to extract all. Within the un-zipped files you will see : Move that to your Desktop, and away you go. There are tutorials available on the web. But to get going quick, just click Calculate Now button,…

What do you all think of this? There really exist white holes in our universe. What does this mean or change our general understanding of the universe? How does this possibility change everything for our understanding of thermodynamics and so on?

Elon Musk unveiled Optimus, the humanoid robot his business built, to the world at Tesla's AI Day yesterday as he had promised back in June of this year. After Optimus entered the stage to welcome the audience, a video showcasing its accomplishment of various tasks was played. The business has stated that one of the main advantages of its bots is that they can handle monotonous or hazardous tasks in settings like manufacturing floors. And Musk's investment in AI is crucial because Tesla anticipates that its robots will eventually generate more revenue for the company than its cars would. What distinguishes Optimus from its rivals? With a far cheape…

The most used hypothesis of formation of the universe is totally INCORRECT . Why ?? This is is because if there was no matter, material , enegy and time before big bang theory how did the Big Bang Happen . A alternate theory by myself . GalaxCollider As we. all know that Earth is 4.5 billion years old.And in the coming 4.5 billion years Andromeda and Milky Way are going to collide which mean a super black hole would be created. And there would be a nee formation of the planets So if we look in the past there are chances two galaxies would have collided to create a black hole which in itself corrupted amd formed the milky way ( Lets name the Galaxie…

I was inspired by the divergence meter featured in Steins;Gate, the idea of it intrigued me. So I started thinking about what it might take to make one in real life. At its most basic, the divergence meter is measuring the difference between two lines, then it gives a percentage output of that difference. Simple, right? Well, there are some things to consider. The lines should be time lines, as in they cannot go straight up or straight down on the graph or there be no output for the meter. Thus, if the difference be completely 100% between the two lines, one of the lines would be in the top of the graph while the other would be in the bottom or they be inverse of …

Cosmo posted a new blog entry 90 Days of Soylent Almost four years ago, a software engineer named Rob Rhinehart began self-experimenting with nutrition and posted a blog entry entitled How I Stopped Eating Food. In it, he hypothesized that the body doesn’t need food itself, merely the chemicals and elements it contains. He set out on a quest to formulate a way ONLY to consume the raw ingredients the body actually needs for a perfectly balanced diet. From there, his self-experiment went viral, and he eventually began a crowdfund campaign to start selling his formulation to the masses. His goal was $100,000; he raised over $2,000,000. Being the bold futur…

This Scientific American article details how a new "time crystal" was recently created in conditions robust enough to survive in ordinary non-laboratory conditions. This seems to take what was once a theory and then a lab-only quantum computing experiment one step closer to the real world. This prior article as archived gives further background on the concept as does Wikipedia. The scientists involved portray time crystals as an entirely new state of matter. My thoughts are that, if accepted as theory, this could have profound consequences as one of the major discoveries and areas of scientific progress of the 21st century. I could see it having the ability to cement t…

I’ve thought about the me travel many times over the years and have discussed this with friends and one of the Questions that comes up is if you move from a spot and travel through time and space while the planet is revolving and orbiting the sun. How do you end up where you want to go instead of being in the same spot floating in space in a different time?

Some people assume the only way to time travel is to travel as fast as the speed of light. But perhaps there are other scientific ways to time travel, as it seems to me that the human body wouldn’t be able to handle the G’s going that fast. Others say that a portal is created, but how? And what exactly does it do? Then, there are worm holes, but there is a black hole on each end, which contains a dead, collapsed star that one cannot pass through. How would it be scientifically possible to time travel through a worm hole and can the human body and/or a craft survive the force? Let’s discuss time travel methods.

In the 90’s a seemingly breakthrough in theoretical physics would be met with some skepticism. After various experiments would make certain discoveries hard to verify, a key scientist’s disappearance may have been at the core of figuring out what is going on. Has anyone ever heard of this scientist? She’s never been mentioned on the forum archives, but she was doing experiments with anti-gravity and suddenly disappeared in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning_Li_(physicist) “Li is reported to have left the University of Alabama in 1999 to found the company AC Gravity LLC . AC Gravity was awarded a U.S. DOD grant for $448,970 in 2001 to continue anti-gravity r…

[HEADING=1]Black Hole 1[/HEADING] A massive astrophysical object that is theorized to be created from the collapse of a neutron star. The gravitational forces are so strong in a black hole that they overcome neutron degeneracy pressure and, roughly speaking, collapse to a point (known as a singularity). Even light cannot escape the gravitational pull of a black hole within the black hole’s so-called Schwarzschild radius. Uncharged, zero angular momentum black holes are called Schwarzschild black holes. Uncharged nonzero angular momentum black holes are called Kerr black holes. Nonspinning charged black holes are called Reissner-Nordström black holes. Charged, spinning…

FACT: Time is a dimension whose multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) dimension we call Frequency. FACT: Where we describe & quantify Time in metrics of seconds, fractions of seconds, and collections of seconds (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years)... We also describe & quantify Frequency in metrics of Hertz (or Rads) and collections of those units. PROPOSED: Whatever intention you can describe for the concepts of Time Travel can, should, and do have a reciprocal description (& engineering definition) in the Frequency Travel concept. CHALLENGE: Learn how to achieve the intent of TT by exploring Frequency Travel...and all it's implications. …

[HEADING=1]Cesium Atoms at Work[/HEADING] “…till like a clock worn out with eating time.” John Dryden (1631-1701) The 1955 Cesium Atomic Clock at the National Physical Laboratory, UK. It kept time to a second in 300 years. A “cesium(-beam) atomic clock” (or “cesium-beam frequency standard”) is a device that uses as a reference the exact frequency of the microwave spectral line emitted by atoms of the metallic element cesium, in particular its isotope of atomic weight 133 (“Cs-133”). The integral of frequency is time, so this frequency, 9,192,631,770 hertz (Hz = cycles/second), provides the fundamental unit of time, which may thus be measured by cesium clocks. …

The influence of recent detections of a finite vacuum energy (“cosmological constant”) on our formulation of anthropic conjectures, particularly the so-called Final Anthropic Principle is investigated. It is shown that non-zero vacuum energy implies the onset of a quasi-exponential expansion of our causally connected domain (“the universe”) at some point in the future, a stage similar to the inflationary expansion at the very beginning of time. The transition to this future inflationary phase of cosmological expansion will preclude indefinite survival of intelligent species in our domain, because of the rapid shrinking of particle horizons and subsequent depletion of ener…

The idea that quantum theory is a true description of physical reality led Everett (1957) and many subsequent investigators (e.g. DeWitt and Graham 1973, Deutsch 1985, 1997) to explain quantum-mechanical phenomena in terms of the simultaneous existence of parallel universes or histories. Similarly I and others have explained the power of quantum computation in terms of ‘quantum parallelism’ (many classical computations occurring in parallel). However, if reality – which in this context is called the multiverse – is indeed literally quantum-mechanical, then it must have a great deal more structure than merely a collection of entities each resembling the universe of clas…

I had mentioned this in another post. It is an important fact to understand which will enlighten serious students that Time, as separate from Space & Mass, is merely a figment of our imagination. The sooner we all understand that space & time are inseparable (along with mass!) the sooner we will all make progress in understanding the true structure of our universe, and how our limited senses cannot tell us The Whole Truth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity#:~:text=8 External links-,Description,events are separated in space.

Quantum time reversal

Not sure if this qualifies as "legitimate" Time Travel? Since it was simulated in a Quantum computer, I don't know why they are calling it "time reversal." I think it's a misnomer, but interesting anyway. My understanding is that most "quantum phenomenon" are "outside of space and time" but this is "Quantum computing time" which is an entirely different animal! I really don't claim to understand the importance or science! If someone can "dumb it down" for me i'd appreciate it! https://phys.org/news/2020-08-thermal-chaos-quantum-unknown.html

Greetings , dear users I habe a theory about time travel. I am no scientist or expert but I still wanted to share this idea. Black and white holes: Black holes have ginormous amounts of gravitational pull leading to time near a black hole being slower than on earth. For example:If you were near a super massive black hole ( on a nearby planet). One hour could be equal to one year on our planet. If white holes existed they a person on the planet would experience normal time but time on earth would go backwards. For example if the person would stay there for 7 years and he left in the year 2000 he would arrive in the year 1993 when he would return.This is because …

In the equations for transforming between reference frames (Lorentz Transformations) one might discard faster than light (FTL) (v > c) as the result yields an imaginary number. However, I considered the possibility that complex numbers themselves, represent Spacetime coordinates. It is almost a mathematically tautology that they do so. I even re-derived the transformations, and they result in the same formulae, as the imaginary components cancel out in the solving of the system of equations. Now, if you consider space coordinates the real component and temporal coordinates the imaginary component, speeds slower than light (STL) (v < c) result in the same transfor…
