ITT: Theories on how different things in Pokemon work.
I'll start: The Pokeball.
First of all, the interior parts of a regular Pokeball:
Small mirrors
Two magnets (The green circles)
Pokemon-to-light energy converters (The orange dots.)

Now, when a Pokeball collides with a Pokemon, the button on the front is pushed back.
When this happens, the green magnets change their magnetism and repel each other, forcing the Pokeball open.
After it has opened, the PTLEC (Pokemon-to-light energy converters) activate. They project a beam towards the targeted Pokemon, changing it into light energy, and pulling the Pokemon back in.
When the Pokeball has detected that the Pokemon has been pulled inside of the it, the magnets attract each other and close the Pokeball.
How do Pokemon try to escape? This is where the mirrors come in.
After the Pokemon is inside the Pokeball, it is still a form of light energy. The Pokemon bounces off of the mirrors to try to escape, which is why a Pokeball moves around when you are capturing a Pokemon.
If it breaks one of the mirrors, the Pokeball forces it out. The Pokemon will eventually run out of energy and settle inside of the Pokeball.
Right after that, the PTLEC project towards the Pokemon, and alter it's behavior to make it loyal to the trainer.

Okay, since my fingers are about to fall off, IT'S TIME- TO P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-POST.

It's not like this show is realistic in any way.
And what exactly would you call the pokemon being transformed into red beams that ge sucked into the pokeball?

Come on, suspension of disbelief, people.

I read the rest of it, and I'm still in disbelief at the amount of bullshit.
I know it's fake, but really, guys. Could you at least try?

Would probably get more response from /vp/, tbh.

this.
/thread.

i'm also planning to make one about how digimons can travel between multiverses, as one of them is initially made of data.

if not revealing that the essence of the universe being nothing more, nothing less than information over anything else. "it from bit" taking a whole different sense but such revelation would led many people to commit mass suicides.

So why can't I push shit from a distance with my flashlight?

You actually can. It's just not as strong a push as you might like.

You may have seen one of these devices, which demonstrate the principle.

4.57x10^−6 N/m2 per photon

I was talking about a flashlight bro, I know of solar sails. In fact, how could you expect me not to? Please die. Fuck.

his actually makes an interesting point, sort of. Why don't you recoil when you shine a beam of light? The answer is -You actually do! But not at the same SPEED as the light - with the same MOMENTUM as the light. The momentum (p) of a single photon of light is equal its energy divided by the speed of light (E = c p). So how much momentum does a beam of light carry? Well, suppose we shine a 100 Watt spotlight - we are producing 100 Joules of light energy per second (a Watt is a Joule of energy per second). So every second we are giving that light a momentum of (100J) / (300,000,000m/s) = .00000033 kg m/s.

To give a sense of how hard of a push that is, let's assume that the stupid troll thing in the wagon weighs 50 kg. To accelerate the wagon up to a speed of 1 m/s (around 3 feet per second... which is still pretty slow) would take (33 million * 50) seconds, which is 52 years. And that's assuming no friction!

>implying those devices work due to imparted momentum from photons and not differential heating of the sides of the metal paddles

>derp heating

What you mean to say is that one side absorbs more photons while the other reflects more photons, causing a differential in radiation pressure.

Which in turn causes it to spin in that direction.

but dont you know, electronic data is a viable living life form, so in another universe like ours they would just appear as a floppy disk and then digivolve into like a videotape, then digivolve into a cd, then like dna digivolve into a psp or something like that

Only: No.
If radiation pressure was the mechanism behind Crookes Radiometer, the vanes should have been spinning in the opposite direction.
