Ok, let's take it from the ground up.

How do you know that something exists if your stupid human organs can't see it?

Well, you make a device that can see the thing and put that information somewhere your dumb eyes can see it.

Now, the device is telling you that some processes make a thing that has an electric charge of -1.602 * 10^19 C, and a mass of 9.109 * 10^-31 kg. These things show up consistently.

What are the things? Well, you can't look directly at them, so you'll have to figure that out by seeing how they interact with other things.

After a few centuries of trying to figure the things out, you have a detailed mathematical model that predicts what will happen when you put the thing in any situation you're able to.

You know what makes the thing, you know what destroys the thing, you know how the thing moves, you know how the thing makes other things move.

Do you know what the thing is? You could absolutely argue that you don't "know" what the thing "is," like a navel-gazing philosopher so far up his own ass he can't know if the outside exists, but you have a pretty fucking good idea of how a fucking electron works.

basically in quantum mechanics, you learn that when a particle is not being measured, it has a certain probability of being in a bunch of different locations. So instead of defining an "orbit" for the election, you have a cloud of probability density.

The real problem with this comfortable lie is that it fosters the idea that the sub-atomic world should be described in terms of analogies to macroscopic objects.
"the electron is a particle!"
"the electron is a wave!"
And no, it doesn't just affect children who are destined to grow up to be plumbers and garbage men, the whole Copenhagen interpretation (and several others) are based on very intelligent, well-educated, even cutting-edge physicists insisting there must be some macroscopic "common sense" mold we must force the sub-atomic world into.

Yes, something pumped full of electrons would get heavier.
Not only do the electrons weigh something but if you were adding ONLY electrons it would take an incredible amount of energy to keep them confined. That energy also weighs something.

To give you an idea of just how hard it is to isolate electric charges, if you dismantled a penny and put all the electrons in New York and the rest of the copper atoms in California, the two halves would try to re-unite with a force of several billion tons! Either one of the masses (positive or negative) would blow up like an H-bomb if unconfined.

How are electrons weighted?
Millikan oil drop experiment. Millikan found oil droplets could me suspended against gravity by giving them an electric charge. The charge came in integer units. A single drop could have 1, 2, or 3 excess electrons but never 1.5
So he had the charge of a single electron.
When a beam of electrons are shot through electric and magnetic fields, their path curves. Since their charge is known and their speed is known, the radius of curvature tells you the mass of individual electrons.

There have been tens of thousands of experiments and millions of devices built which rely upon those "assumptions".
If you've "better" assumptions, state them now or forever be quiet until you've learned more.

because quantum objects behave differently when they're measured, don't ask why nobody really knows. But you can model it mathematically

what you need to know is that basically there is this cloud where the electron might be. And we have a probability density to model this. So for example the electron is 10 times more likely to be measured in one location than another.

Then what happens when we get to the part of the book where physics itself doens't always have precise, mathematical, 100% reproducible solutions?

Well, you have this wave equation which perfectly predicts the probabilities of all possible outcomes of an experiment. These waves do everything you expect a wave to be able to do, like diffract around corners, contructively/destructively interfere with one another, exhibit uncertainty through fourier transforms, etc. But when you perform a measurement, you get one and only one outcome.

All we can say is that this wave function description combined with its collapse upon measurement describes every experiment perfectly, even if we don't exactly know what that wave function is.

1) Mass is energy and vice versa. A chunk of iron weighs (masses) more when heated, even though it contains the name number of atoms. A wound-up spring is heavier than an un-wound spring. The differences are un-noticeably small in everyday life.
But they're quite real.
Ask any resident of Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

2) Not the "strong force". That's something else entirely. It's the electrostatic force. Transfer just a couple of electrons between a glass rod and a silk handkerchief and the rod will pick up bit of paper and crumbs. The electric force is STRONG. We never see severe deviations from neutrality (one gram of "excess" electrons in a single place) because no possible insulation can hold unlike charges of that magnitude apart.

3) Millikan wasn't measuring the mass of the electrons. He was determining the charge of a single electron by balancing the force it exerted against a known weight.
A electron moving through a magnetic field curves and the radius of curvature depends on the field strength, the particle speed, the charge on the particle, and the mass of the particle. We know 3 of those and can compute the 4th.

No, it is in fact quite true. In order to see anything from an electron microscope, you must first coat it in gold or another conductive material based on the material you are looking it. You must alter the thing you're looking at before looking at it.

Of course the model is wrong. If the public had access to the genuine model, it would enable anyone to access nuclear energy since every atom's electron charge is dependent on subatomic plasma (aether), even the radioactive elements. Einstein did a great job with misleading everyone away from the truth.

Here's a question then: What is the charge actually doing? If we have a small metal sphere, is the charge only on the point where the light is?

It's like the question of a magnetic field. What is it actually doing? Is it moving? Is it static?

A field is a perturbation in the aetheric plasma. Magnetic fields for example, are structured as multiple vortices in the aether. Angular momentum of an aetheric vortex is responsible for magnetic coupling. If two vortices are spinning in the same direction you get attraction (coupling). If two vortices are spinning in the opposite direction they repel each other and don't couple.

Yes it's incorrect, but not in the way you think. All matter is a single field permeating multi-dimensional space. For some reason(s) (probabilities) concentrations of energy in this field form the matter you understand. Essentially all matter is a fluctuating field throughout space-time, and any other dimensions.

"Nonconductive specimens collect charge when scanned by the electron beam, and especially in secondary electron imaging mode, this causes scanning faults and other image artifacts. For conventional imaging in the SEM, specimens must be electrically conductive, at least at the surface, and electrically grounded to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charge."

This man speaks the truth. Nobody considers that "mass" and "Gravity" are codependent on another "mass" and "source of gravity". What is the mass of earth when there is no "center" anchor point to hold it together? What is the gravity of Earth if the sun instantaneously disappeared? Also what is the "gravity" in the center of a mass? In the center between two masses? If it's close to "0" then how is it a "force"?

Should I just accept another half-assed definition of what causes gravity? Do magical "graviton" particles control the gravity? Or is it the quantum foam? Explain to me why the force of gravity is "0" at the center of a large mass and stop dodging questions. No one has explained how "mass" causes gravity without fallacies, particularly circular reasoning seems to be a favorite of those that actually believe that gravity is a "force". There is absolutely no force involved whatsoever, it is nothing other than the coherency of pressure mediation via rotational inertia.

You can measure the inertial mass of an object with a spring, a table and some lubricant, literally just lube up the table to eliminate friction, hold the object in place while compressing the spring, and see how fast the object accelerates. Repeat with several different objects and you have their masses in relation to each other.

The quest for the graviton is not revealing any results. Gravity however, works well as a geometry of slope created by mass in a space-time membrane. Space is constantly slipping down and out of Earth's mass affect field giving us an acceleration we call gravity. The same force is equal to acceleration. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/einsteins-genius-changed-sciences-perception-gravity

How do you keep missing the fact that "gravity" cannot logically exist because of the reasons you just stated. It is nothing other than the interaction of changes in the masses, there is no "force of gravity". How is an acceleration a force, it's a variable to calculate force according to F=ma.

>>9743444
>Space is constantly slipping down and out of Earth's mass affect field giving us an acceleration we call gravity.

Space has no properties. It is not a definable entity in and of itself. More accurately it is "filled space" because it is full of EM, debris, "particles". It is not an absolute pure vacuum. To say "space" does something is a fallacy because it cannot do anything. It is the pressure mediation of EM in the form of "waves" that makes the earth rotate and vibrate.

Acceleration is a result of force by F=ma->a = F/m you dense fuck

If the spring has constant force, that means for varying m, you get varying a

And gravity isn't the interaction between CHANGES in mass, it's interaction between constant mass.

That's not the point I was making. Gravity is an ACCELERATION, not a FORCE. The fact that gravity changes with mass should fucking make this clear enough yet people still insist that there is a "force of gravity".

>If the spring has constant force
What gives a spring constant force? It is an inert object until the potential is built, for that to happen energy must enter it.

>it's interaction between constant mass
there are no constants of mass, there is no resting mass to be constant! The mass will either become

a. Incoherent(gaseous, not "conglomerated", repulsed)
b. Coherent (dense, conglomerated, attracted, "towards wholeness"

But it is always in motion. Mass is nothing other than acceleration and retardation of EM, even the harebrained theories of GR claim that mass becomes "infinite" at the "speed of light".

>>9743552

"Spacetime" is a meme term that combines two unreifiable thing into one. "Time" being a measurement conjured up by human language and "space" really being just various pressure meditations of something undefinable in motion.
.
"Gravity waves" being another meme term that means absolutely nothing since most branches of science can't explain what the cause of gravity is. Does it "wave" with it's left or right hand?
