[center]25 Scientific Facts That Will Blow Your Mind[/center]
[center]
HTML https://youtu.be/Vta-S-iSP9A[/center]
The one that flabbergasted me was the statement that the human
body puts out more heat per unit volume than the sun.
HTML http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TzWpwHzCvCI/T_sBEnhCCpI/AAAAAAAAME8/IsLpuU8HYxc/s1600/nooo-way-smiley.gif<br
/>I find that hard to believe. I am sure that they used Hess's l
aw
to come up with that.
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714183312.bmp
Hess's law is a brute force INDIRECT measurement of heat (i.e.
enthalpy=energy) of formation of chemical compounds that ignores
magnetic forces, nuclear physics forces AND biological enzyme
heat reduction in chemical reactions.
I've gone round and round with my wife the chemist on this (and
RE at the diner too!).
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/3ztzsjm.gif
My point is that the enzymes reshape the substrate temporarily,
thereby making it a DIFFERENT chemical compound energywise with
the same elements in number and mass. This enzyme massaged
chemical compound has BOTH a lower energy of activation AND a
lower amount of OVERALL heat released THROUGHOUT the reaction
when the reaction on it takes place.
Hess's law looks at chemical bonds as having a FIXED amount of
energy needed to break them (exothermic) or make them
(endothermic). This assumption is valid in non-living chemical
processes. I claim that it is NOT valid in living processes.
I claim that enzymes, otherwise known as catalysts, REDUCE the
total energy output of a biological chemical reaction, even
though the enzyme itself is not changed. This flies in the face
of accepted thermodynamics and the Law of Conservation of
Energy. So, I have a very difficult time convincing chemists
that I have a valid argument. :(
Nevertheless, as the above video points out, the cause of
gravity (which is, like magnetism, a form of attraction of
masses) is not well understood. No scientist will claim that
your refrigerator magnet uses any energy to remain sticking to
your refrigerator against the forces of gravity.
But the same scientist must admit that it will take energy for
you to pull it off. ;D
My hypothesis is supported by science in regard to the mechanism
that enzymes (biological catalysts far more complex than the
industrial catalysts our crude heat, beat and treat industrial
processes rely on [/I]) [size=12pt]use to lower the energy of
activation to start a chemical reaction.
But, the second part of my hypothesis, which states that [i]the
enzyme, due to the magnetic distortion it forces on a chemical
compound substrate WITHOUT any measurable release of energy,
lowers the overall enthalpy=heat=energy, NOT just the
activation enthalpy=heat=energy of said chemical reaction,
PARTICULARLY in exothermic (energy release instead of energy
absorbing) chemical reactions, is rejected because it gives
Hess's Law a huge headache. That "headache" is that it appears
to violate the "law" of conservation of energy. ;D
So, go ahead, pull that magnet off the refrigerator and tell me
you used the same amount of energy to put it there as to pull it
off.
HTML http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_2932.gif
So, go ahead, tell me an industrial catalyst on exactly the same
chemical compound found in the human body, according to Hess's
Law, releases exactly the same amount of energy when a
biological enzyme acts on it to produce exactly the same
products as the industrial catalyst does.
HTML http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_2932.gif
Hess's Law is the basis of virtually all the assumptions on
thermodynamics that science has today. It is very useful because
of the difficulty of measuring the energy released by some
chemical reactions.

HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-020216004023.png[/img][/center]
But if what goes on inside us was as Hess's Law of enthalpy of
formation DICTATES, we would exceed the outer temperature
boundary required by homeostasis and die. There is no
homeostasis on the sun. Homeostasis is sine qua non to life. We
do not overheat because enzymes apparently get around the law of
conservation of energy by some mechanism that we do not
understand. I am not saying that they ACUALLY violate the law of
conservation of energy. I am saying that the law of conservation
of energy is improperly accounted for in Hess's "Law".
You may assume that I am all wet. But someday, science will
admit that enzymes, due to extremely complex magnetic
arrangements in their design, save far more energy during their
existence as biological chemical reaction mediators than was
used by the human body to manufacture them.

[center]All fossil meteorites found are so called L-chondrites
that originate from the asteroid that broke up, but now a single
fossil meteorite has been found that is of a kind not known
among the more than 50,000 documented meteorites that have
fallen on Earth in recent times. This may be the first
documented example of an extinct meteorite, i.e. a type of
meteorite that does no longer fall on Earth because its parent
body was consumed in collisions. Credit: Birger
Schmitz.[/center]
A morsel of never-before-seen alien rock has been dug up in a
limestone quarry in Sweden, where it had lain deeply buried for
about 470 million years, scientists said Tuesday.
The biscuit-sized remains are unlike any other meteorite found
on Earth to date, and may shed light on the history and
formation of our Solar System, they reported in the journal
Nature Communications.
Dubbed Oest 65, it is thought to be a splinter of a
potato-shaped rock some 20-30 kilometres (12-19 miles) wide,
which had smashed into another much larger body, sprinkling our
adolescent planet with debris.
Previously, remnants of only one of the two rocks had been
found, in the form of meteorites called chondrites.
But now scientists believe they have unearthed a piece of the
second space orb, boosting the theory of a major smash-up
between two galactic travelers.
It is thought that the breakup of the bigger chondrite body,
about 100-150 km across, had yielded a major cluster of rocky
debris in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The resultant flux of extraterrestrial material, some of which
rained down on Earth, coincided with a massive expansion of
invertebrate ocean life at a time our planet's landmass was
largely fused together into a supercontinent called Gondwana.
[quote]
"The single meteorite that we now found... is of a type that we
do not know of from today's world," study co-author Birger
Schmitz of Lund University in Sweden told AFP.[/quote]
Along with about 100 chondrite pieces discovered to date, the
new alien fragment had sunk to the floor of an ocean covering
parts of what today is a limestone quarry in southern Sweden.

meteorites attest to one of the most violent events in the solar
system the past 3 billion years, when a hundred kilometer large
asteroid broke up from a collision in the asteroid belt. Credit:

'Extinct' space rock? ???
"The object contains very high concentrations (compared to Earth
materials), of elements such as iridium, which is very rare on
Earth," Schmitz explained by email.
"The meteorite also contains high concentrations of rare
isotopes of the element Neon"—and in different proportions than
in chondrites.
The team measured telltale signs of cosmic radiation in the
meteorite to determine how long it had flown around in space
before crashing to Earth.
"Our meteorite fell 470 million years ago," said Schmitz—more or
less the same period as the chondrite fragments.
The mysterious morsel "may be a fragment of the impactor that
broke up the (chondrite) parent body," concluded the study.

The extraterrestrial lander may be the first documented example
of an "extinct meteorite"—so called because it's parent body had
been entirely consumed by space collisions, meaning no more
fragments can fall to Earth today.
Chondrites still drop to our planet every now and then.
The findings mean that today's meteorites—on which scientists
base much of their assumptions about our Solar System's
formation—are not fully representative of what is, and once was,
out there.
"Apparently, there is potential to reconstruct important aspects
of solar-system history by looking down on Earth sediments, in
addition to looking up at the skies," wrote the study authors.

[center]Illuminate Lightbulbs Wirelessly: DIY Slayer
Exciter[/center]
by tanner_tech in wireless
Circuits Contest 2016
Have you ever wanted to be able to control the powers of
wireless electricity?
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/128fs318181.gif
Have you ever
wanted to build something that can light CFL bulbs from your
hand?
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/128fs318181.gif
If so, then this is the perfect instructable for you. In this
instructable, I will show you how to build a device called a
slayer exciter. The video below will accompany this instructable
with a visual demonstration of how it works.
Lets get started!
Step 1: How it Works 8)
A slayer exciter is basically an oscillator that has a frequency
based on the LC tank circuit formed by the secondary coil and
the parasitic capacitance of the top load. So now to how this
circuit works.
First, when power is applied to the circuit, the current flows
into the base of the transistor, turning it on. When the
transistor turns on, it lets power flow through the primary
coil. This induces a current into the secondary coil, which
flows into the base of the transistor, turning it off.
When the transistor turns off, the magnetic field collapses
letting current flow back into the base of the transistor from
the resistor. This cycle repeats many times a second.
Think of this circuit as a swing, if you push somebody an a
swing, they will swing forward and backwards and oscillate.
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/treeswing.gif
Every time you push the swing, it oscillates, but you have to
push it at the right time, or it will lose energy.
The circuit functions like the person pushing the swing. The
transistor "pushes" the secondary coil with a magnetic field at
the exact right time. This circuit oscillates at about 398
kilocycles.
The constantly expanding and collapsing field creates a powerful
RF field around the exciter. This causes the electrons in the
CFL to bounce around and strike the phosphors in the glass,
lighting the bulb. It creates high voltage because of the turn
ratio of the primary to secondary coil. Now to actually building
the slayer exciter.

Agelbert NOTE: Always remember that electrical current is never
induced by a magnetic field, be it electro-magnetic or naturally
magnetic. The electrons in a conductor of electricity move only
when a magnetic field it is subjected to collapses. So, you
have rebuild the magnetic field and allow it to collapse
repeatedly to keep the current flowing to light a CFL bulb, LED
and/or, with some fancy circuitry, to run an electric (OF
COURSE! ;D) motor. At present, sending the current through
wires requires less energy than wirelessly, except in some very
limited applications.

/>Water inside carbon nanotubes turns solid at boiling
temperatures, MIT researchers discover[/center]
By Shawn Knight on Dec 3, 2016, 11:00 AM
mit, carbon nanotubes, freeze, water, ice, h2o
It’s common knowledge that water freezes at zero degrees Celsius
(32 degrees Fahrenheit) and boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212
degrees Fahrenheit) in normal conditions. When confined within a
carbon nanotube, however, all bets are off.
While conducting an experiment that involved trying to send
electric currents through water inside of carbon nanotubes, a
team of chemical engineers led by Professor Michael Strano at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) noticed some
unexpected behavior.
It’s been known for a while now that when water is confined in
very small spaces, its freezing and boiling points can drop by
as much as 10 degrees Celsius. What the team at MIT observed,
however, was quite the opposite.
HTML http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif
Inside tiny carbon nanotubes, they witnessed water solidifying
at a minimum temperature of 105 degrees Celsius – well above its
normal boiling point.
The diameter of the nanotubes played a significant role in the
water’s behavior. The difference between tubes measuring 1.05
nanometers and 1.06 nanometers across changed the freezing
temperature by tens of degrees.
Equally as puzzling is the fact that water could even enter
nanotubes at all as they’ve long been thought to be hydrophobic.
Agelbert NOTE: "Hydrophobic" means water "hating". Your raincoat
is usually coated with a hydrophobic substance. Wax is
hydrophobic. "Hydrophilic" is water "loving". The way the water
curves up on the edge of a glass is evidence that glass is
hydrophilic. Water (H2O), of course is attracted to itself
(water molecules inside tree capillaries can be stretched 25
atmospheres and still attract each other as long as the
capillary is not exposed to the outer atmosphere. That is how
water moves from tree roots to the leaves.
More research will be needed but Strano thinks the discovery
could lead to the creation of “ice wires,” or efficient highways
to transport protons as water is around 10 times better at
conducting protons compared to standard conductive material.
HTML http://www.techspot.com/news/67267-water-inside-carbon-nanotubes-turns-solid-boiling-temperatures.html
Agelbert NOTE: Some good comments that might explain this
strange property of carbon nanotube enclosed H2O:
captaincranky TechSpot Addict
"My immediate thought was, if this occurs with water..what other
changes could occur? Relooking at cold fusion where speculation
was the molecular space might have allowed nuclear interaction.
Other speculation whenever I find that roll of Reynolds.
Well, I think "freezes" might be misapplied terminology."
I'm going to take a wild, uneducated guess here, and postulate
the water isn't "frozen" per se. Given the 3 elements in the
mix, carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen, the scale at which this is
happening, and the amount of molecular activity brought on by
applied heat, the water is likely "mimicking" or "masquerading"
as, a carbohydrate.
Skypickle
The diameter of the nanotube is only 5 water molecules across.
But these researchers
HTML https://www.mpg.de/6362003/water-ice-crystal
Say that you need at least 275 molecules to form an ice crystal.
So the 'solid' phase of water cannot occur in the confined space
of a nanotube. Rather a different 'boundary ' phase of
carbon-water forms
browne5061
It is probably the hydrophobic nature of the CNTs that forces
the solidification. As you increase the energy of the particles,
they find themselves bound inside of the CNT and unable to
leave. This would likely significantly increase the number of
collisions between H2O molecules, giving the appearance of being
a solid, without needing as many molecules as is normally
required to form an Ice crystal as Skypickle points out.
Still, I wonder why they were putting water inside of CNTs in
the first place. The common conception is they are hydrophobic,
plus CNTs already display ballistic conductance of both
electrical and thermal energy. I find it hard to believe that
anyone would go 'yeah, lets add thermally *capacitive* material
(water) to increase thermal *conductivity.*' I think they were
trying for something else entirely, which they aren't ready to
publically talk about yet. My guess would a new kind of thermal
heat sink, with both high conductivity from the CNTs and high
capacitance from the H2O - and this would explain why they
brought it up to such high temperatures in the first place,
since CNTs don't heat up readily when an electric current is
applied.
wiyosaya
My thoughts are that the size of the nanotube is somehow forcing
the molecules of water to align in a fashion where they do not
move - thus giving the appearance of a crystallized set of
molecules.
Yynxs
Somewhere in non-available memory was some reading on crystal
forming temperatures of water with additives such as salt and
something to do with 'absolutely pure' water having different
bonding reactions than just distilled water. I'm wondering if
the size of the nanotubes creates an 'absolutely pure' water
condition and whether that affects 'hydrophobic' as used to
describe the carbon molecules. I know when I don't know so I'm
sending this article to a friend 'Saint Jack' to see if he knows
anything.

Why Planet Nine has such an unusual orbit is the next question –

out of the gas giants' neighborhood by Jupiter, or may have been

Regardless, for now the new research adds fuel to the excitement

It's a voyage of exploration like no other - to Titan, Saturn's
largest moon and thought to resemble our own early Earth. For a
small team of British scientists this would be the culmination
of a lifetime's endeavour - the flight alone, some 2 billion
miles, would take a full seven years. This is the story of the
space probe they built, the sacrifices they made and their hopes
for the landing. Would their ambitions survive the descent into
the unknown on Titan's surface?
