And it is exactly this type of contradictory nonsense that made me begin to question our understanding altogether. "Nothing travels faster than light" followed by 'spooky, instant action at a distance'. It's incoherent and contradictory.
Same with magnets 'emitting' particles. Yes, an infinite stream of electrons coming from a permanent magnet that will last many decades while never running out of electrons. It's so comically childish, and we know this isn't true simply by looking at a magnet under a ferrocell. All you see are lines/waves of constructive and destructive interference, because that's all it is!
Magnets do not emit anything just like electrons are not travelling down power lines. These are coherent fields with very specific recursive geometries, and power lines are more akin to electrical field conductors. Nothing is constrained to the wires - this is exactly why we can pick up a current wirelessly without touching a wire. The wires are guiding the electric field in whatever direction they are running, since they are ideal field conductors.
Once you re-introduce a medium, call it aether or whatever you like, then action as a distance is easily explained and there is no longer a dark matter/dark energy problem. The fact that even idiots like me can grasp this while "experts" in their fields cannot is a good demonstration of how far off track we have gone.
Magnets do seem magic somehow.
I thought you were an expert... How did you get interested in this?
I tried reading "Understanding Physics" by Asimov as a teenager and couldn't read past a couple pages before falling asleep.
Computer chips then are very complex field conductors...
The Buga sphere had lots of tiny fiber optics emerging in tiny holes along the outside.
Perhaps elf craftmanship can combine fiber optics plus circuitry to rival human spinal cords...
Also does that mean our nerves if they are relaying electric impulses are communicating with the zero point field?
I think our brains, specifically microtubules, are what provide access to the zero point field, and everything else is downstream from that.
I stumbled into the gnostics and the true nature of magnetism and everything followed from that.
now i'm looking up gnostics. i thought that was a religion :D
so that's why sleeping next to magnets is a thing. the magnets look like paint cans.
someone i know swears by them, and her cat also prefers to sleep between the big "paint" cans even when they are on the floor.
i was supposed to test them out and document the sleep but it was unclear for me.
Gnosticism is best left in the dust bin. Not sure why that insanity keeps getting trotted back out.
hello!
consciousness following from microtubules and zero point energy? or just the religious part of gnositicism
Both! The religious part ends up justifying whatever insanity you are currently experiencing. "This is hidden knowledge! These ancient texts I wrote say so"
oh. we are all about open-source here, no hidden knowledge.
i would follow traditional religious wisdom as revealed in bible (open source), however trying to understand the mechanics of consciousness doesn't seem like an insanity...
