i agree. it's interesting how almost all cultures developed the same (or close to the same) scales of pitches for music, even before they made contact with eachother.

Don't know. But it's important to know that dogs don't see black and white as is the common misconception. They see mostly the same spectrum that we see. The difference is in how strong they see certain colors.

I realized this on my own at a young age when I noticed that my german shepherd would prefer tennis balls of certain colors and not others. For instance, she can spot a yellow ball from over 50ft away. However, she has much more trouble finding blue and red ones.

But as far as your question goes, I have no clue.

I see your point. So put "splitting" aside for the moment and work with me on building this premise.

There is a dickload of energy stored between quarks. Can you theorize a method by which that energy could be harnessed? I can't, but working with quarks is a new element to physics, and we have little experience at our current level of scientific development. However, given an indeterminate amount of scientific advancement, and given how the normal laws of nature tend not to apply at the sub-sub-atomic level (we're dealing with quantum level stuff here), is it not surmisable that there may be a method by which to harness that stored potential energy?

For a long period of time, it wasn't cost effective to make railroads out of steel; iron was simply cheaper, even with it's lower life expectancy. However, not a few decades later, it suddenly was very viable.

That's how economics have driven national interests have driven politics for centuries.

>>4998592
No, it's Germany's fault.

Also, you could learn something from this. You're somewhere around Ad Hominem, pushing towards name calling.

That's fucking copied and pasted directly from the presentation, asshole. Take it up with Yale University or Science magazine or the RHIC.

Look, it takes an enourmous amount of energy to split the atom- but we got that shit workin, don't we?

I don't know exactly how to do it- it's never been done and I'm an EE, not a theoretical physicist. I just thought that maybe, just maybe, the same principles used in fission could be applied at the sub-atomic level (or do i mean sub-sub-atomic).

Chill the fuck out.

hold the fuck on. ever hear of a chain reaction?

here's the details-

Title: Sampling Quark and Gluon Soup - Recreating Primordial Matter at a Trillion Degrees Kelvin
Speaker: Dr. Helen Caines, Yale University

google it yourself

>>4998573
dude, i have no idea.

actually, i just remembered something- a british woman came and spoke at a physics symposium at my university. She works at RHIC in new york. She did a presentation on how they had found a way to do something close to this and ended up creating a perfect fluid.

i'll dig through my records to find the name/extra details if you want.

actually, it is inexhaustible, assuming that nothing stops the earth from spinning and that it doesn't suddenly have zero mass.

in either of those cases, we have bigger problems than renewable energy.

I have that album. I love the fucking moody blues doing it. So fucking good.

Want a nearly inexhaustible source of energy?

Split quarks. The strong force attraction between two quarks in a proton is something like a bizigillion metric tons. That's alotta energy.

switch to electrical engineering. it's all fucking math. and you'll have a job.

>>4998528
He's right. Let's be sure not to use up all of our magnets.

>>4998514
Oh. Sorry.

Well don't use fucking ice. See: >>4998502

>>4998507
That harvests energy from the earth's magnetic field. They did it on the space station with a 50m cable. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, some debris promply nailed it.

Okay, well enjoy killing the skin and nerves and probably leaving an ugly ass scar.

If you're going to refuse our advice, why did you even ask?

Also, perpetual motion is often confused with renewable energy. Most people think a radiometer is in perpetual motion.
