Originally posted by BlitzenInteresting conversation, but understanding of physics really exploded in the last few years. Did you know photons are massless atoms that get temporarily charged up, but they're lurking everywhere anyway? And also, they're not emitted by a lightbulb say, but attracted magnetically toward it very very fast, and then repel away from this much slower, appearing like they were generated? Truely fascinating stuff.
Light is produced from a light bulb by the fast flowing electrons passing along a thin wire. The electrons are attracted to the metal filament due to electromagnetism and they 'crowd'. All those electrons quickly begin bumping into each other and become highly charged. Atoms don't like to be in this state and they 'shed' energy to get back to a stable state. The energy they shed is mostly photons of various light waves.

I've got asked by someone who just graduated school and is about to start studying physics, what exactly is an electron, if it is not "a small ball rotating around the core of an atom". I couldn't ...
That's a great lie for children, but if you had told it to the theoretically oriented folks who were in my first semester with me, they would have identified you as the child and walked away bored. – CuriousOne Jul 10 '15 at 23:51
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation, such as light, hits a material. Electrons emitted in this manner are called photoelectrons. The phenomenon is studied in condensed matter physics, and solid state and quantum chemistry to draw inferences about the properties of atoms, molecules and solids. The effect has found use in electronic devices specialized for light detection and precisely timed electron emission.
Amazing discovery for Farscape fans, but turns out the fluid which comes out of your nose is wormholed from the ocean. Erm, but someone that needs an ASBO reckons they'll use this to flood cities with sky mines. We're all doomed.

You have however provided a good description of how Zombie Photons become attracted to the spacial point, via these electronic disruptions. The thing we're doing is science; adding to the existing knowledge. Things get updated.

You can also put electrons together this way to create muons and tau partials and we see them a lot in the upper atmosphere.
Anyway, particle physics is very weird. Just know that there are rules to the universe and aliens can't break them.

Yeah, so condensates are the result of someone investigating scientific properties of caves and then not admitting they failed to glean an answer. Basic observation since ancient times is that caves grow cool crystals. Obvious factor is that these caves never once saw a photon from Sol in all of history. End result, the zombie photons have been mathematically undisturbed by energisation and form somewhat pure geometic patterns without chaos, noise and such. It was a creative inductive leap, but contained within the previous mix of failed physics reports, as normally happens, and of course this corelates to all the other stuff like compression of matter in a black hole which is antagonist to light formation. The really genius thing was reasoning that light itself goes backwards, then forward. So counter-intuitive to what our visual cortex tells us.

Electrons carry a negative charge and when thrown at something with a positive charge they sort of cancel each other out in a discharge of other subatomic particles.

59 quotes from Niels Bohr: 'An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.', 'The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.', and 'Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.'
“How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.”

Mods, where do these people come from? We've had quite a few people join and spout a load of **** with random links to places. It's like a weird Internet cult or something.Last edited by Cassius_Smoke; 08-07-2021, 07:48.

“We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.”
― Niels Bohr
Okay, this guy was kinda crazy tbh. He did good diagrams though. Personal inspiration of mine.
“Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself it’s own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.”

You're gonna ban Niels Bohr, the founder of physics to a physics chat? Sheesh.
“Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.
[A caution he gives his students, to be wary of dogmatism.]”
― Niels Bohr, Nuclear Physics
Hey I do that already, right?
“The Stone Age didn't end because the World ran out of stones”

Oh man that's some deep shizzle. I need a few months to dwell homeboy.Last edited by omgkenny; 08-07-2021, 07:55.
