Hey everyone, I do applied physics (aka electronics) on my spare time and for years I've been researching a t displacement unit (a tt machine). I want to start the adventure of testing and building it this year and I'm looking for an interested partner/s to help me out. As you can imagine in today's society is kinda rare to find unbiased individulas that could comprehend the possibility of tt. BTW, dont think this is some sort of scam or something, if you wanna make contributions to this project, you'd make them by arranging the parts that you think you could help out with and put them to work in the unit (not really necessary though, because components are cheap). If you want in let me know, and about yourself and stuff. Prob. now you have some questions for me, well I'll let you know about the basic 'works' of the project and how it makes so much sense even using distorted conventional electromagnetics and physics.

Having chicken bumps?! Well let me tell you the universe is far more wonderful and scary that you could have ever imagined. Btw, this is not for the faint of heart.
 
My model is based on general relativity space-time geometry and Tesla's wave mechanics. You seem like you know something about TT. What kind of power source you have? Want in on the project?
 
Well you haven't answered my questions, so it's fair enough that I don't answer yours

Not true. This is your thread. You opened the discussion and the rest of us get to ask you questions. If you don't want to answer questions what's the point of opening a discussion thread?
 
Yikes...yet another Tesla page - this one refering to Tesla as Dr. Tesla.

NIkola Tesla was not only not Dr. Nikola Tesla, PhD he wasn't even Nikola Tesla, BSc. Tesla dropped out of college during the early part of hus junior year. At best he was Nikola Tesla, ASc - he had the equivalent college education of an Associate's degree at a community college.

A brilliant man? To be sure. A man who had some great published ideas? Absolutely. A scatter brain? Also to be sure. A thinker who usually failed to follow through on his ideas? Also true.

Tesla was what was termed in the 19th Century a "practical engineer" - an undegreed inventor.

Correct!

A inventor who didnt know what he was doing. He thought the ideas and put it together without the concept of the end results!

Tesla this, Tesla that...

I do think most of that is a purile attempt in gaining recognization in history. Clearly he must have had some 'help' with some of those 'fantastic' inventions.
 
I have heard very little of Tesla, appart from the Tesla Coil and what not. But have people tried to create his inventions? I mean perhaps he had indeed good ideas, he just didnt know how to make them persay...
 
Darby, I started this thread to exchange ideas back and forth, and just thought it wasn't very polite to skip my questions like that. Anyways, I understand that you guys must be curious but the thing is that since this is proprietary and sensitive information I'll share my ideas, as I stated, with like minded people that might want to work on my project. But don't get me wrong, I'm willing to discuss the stuff in general.

Nikola Tesla, btw, the only reason why he didn't finish his college is because the academia was getting in his way and ideas. He couldn't stand stand the pseudo-science and dogmatic thinking so he moved on to start his biz, and succeeded too because he was a genius, but wasn't a good business man and got framed (his shop was caught on fire and all) so he ended up bankrupt and depressed. His immense legacy lives on though, I don't know if you're aware but he's the one who invented the main concept of the brushless electric motors that we use today, alternating current, the Tesla coil that is widely used in electronics, neon lights, x rays, the so called hertzian waves and alot more.

The link that I provided is basically just some vague information gathered about his work and theory and has some inconsistencies like the mystic stuff about the aether being a thing beyond conception, the akasha or whatever... About the math, prob. the feds have it, so you have to extrapolate a math from his principles.

It was? According to what source? Can you direct us there, please.
 
Not that I am Tesla, but I too shied away from physics acedemia back in 1992, when my physics professor at University of Maryland insisted and told me that the speed of light was constant, always has been constant, and always will be constant.

I was always in a arguements with him and the stupid lab RA's about almost everything having to do with Relativity.

In 1998, various labortories around the world independantly proved that the speed of light varies.

I bet my professors are still wondering what the name of that kid in 1992 was.

Needless to say, Tesla was always in arguements with "top" scientists of the day and always at odds with thier inferior ideas. Tesla used to laugh about how Edison made discoveries by trial and error, while he was able to "build" in his mind, and only assemble working prototypes.

Tesla and Edison were at odds with each other around 1890's because Edison thought that long term power transmission (from Niagara Falls plant) would best be served by direct current. Tesla showed teh world that AC was safer because of less power loss. (edisons idea would have required about 100 volts at 4000 amps to get to Buffalo, enough to fry a moose). Tesla won that fight and the first power plant in the world was distributing AC. But edison had many political backers and Tesla was continuously ridiculed for his ideas about free energy from the earth resonance. He started to build a free energy tower on Long Island and was so hurt/mad? from ridicule in newspapers and on th e street that he moved his lab to Colorado Springs. He invented mad devices there. Built things, then disassembled them, out of spite for the world. His greatest secrets are encoded in his notes and patents from 1998-1902.

Paladius,

I read your statement and I now know why you dropped out of physics. You wren't listening to either the professor or your TA's (I assume that "RA" - dorm resident assistant - was a typo).

Your professor didn't say that the speed of light was an absolute constant in special relativity. S/he said that all inertial observers in uniform motion of translation would determine the same value for the speed of light.

This postulate was first stated by Gallieo, restated by Newton and again restated by Einstein as the Principle of Relativity. That is, all inertial observers in uniform motion of translation will determine the laws of physics to be the same among themselves irrespective of their relative velocities.

The obvious implication in Special Relativity is that if the speed of light varies as a function of velocity then inertial observers traveling at different velocities would determine different physical laws in each frame. That has never occured.

Special Relativity doesn't state that the speed of light remains absolutely the same. What is says is that spacetime undergoes Lorentzian contraction as measured by inertial observers traveling at different velocities relative to each other. That contraction in length and clock rates is such that when you use those "rods and clocks" to measure the speed of light you get the same value no matter what your constant velocity is.
 
darby, are you saying that we dont feel time speed up or slow down, but it does?

if so, is it detectable through physics?
Click to expand...

You've hit upon the crux of special relativity. Everything including your brain, atomic processes, length, time - all of it is equally affected by the relativistic effects of objects traveling at different velocities. From your perspective it is "the other guy" who is affected by this. "The other guy" makes the same observation of you. Neither of you "feel" the effects nor can you observe them upon yourself - because whatever instrument that you carry along with you to make the measurements also suffers the same effects.
 
ruthless,

so this is not detectable, and will always be impossible to detect?
Click to expand...

Not quite. The effects can be detected. You just don't detect anything ususual about yourself or anything else that is in your inertial frame (at rest with respect to you). You can detect the effects by looking at something that is in motion relative to you.

Don't, BTW, generalize this situation to include any and all motions. Special Relativity in its pure form only considers inertial frames - situations where the bodies in motion are moving at a constant rate, are not rotating and are not in a strong gravitational field (the weak field limit). If those situations are present you have to look to General Relativity.
 
ok, lemme ask you this, if a guy goes lightspeed, straps sensors on himself, and takes off, can they sync his time with earths time and track it?

physics is some mind boggling, brain frying stuff.
 
"your professor didn't say...S/he said that...."

Darby, with all due respect...how the fck do you have any clue or slightest incling of what my professors may or may not have said?

Please enlighten me, as I was there and remember many, many converstaions with professors first hand about the speed of light, but if you know something I don't about my college classes and more specifically conversations I had, please enlighten me.

Furthermore, saying that the speed of light is constant relative to observers on a like plane, is like saying that a tree is tall to everyone standing within 100' of it. What you are missing is thinking about the universe in more than just 3 dimensions. With the tree, an ant may not even know it exists, while a giant alien might view it as a twig. With light, the speed is in an ever state of flux. You can measure it at instants, but it will never be the same in two measurements (our accuracy can not detect this as f yet). With out explaining the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, you need to realize that the passage of time differs across the universe where the edges are the slowest, and getting slower, while the center is getting slower at a much slower pace...but in the middle there is ripple and there is a ring where time is speeding up and two horizons where time has stopped. As light travels through this media its speed is constantly changing. As a stationary observer, you can detect the various speeds of light across different locations of the universe. LBNL is currently doing this using supernova as benchmarks. ...latest research from yours truely (me) and an LBNL 3/2008 lecture.
