Re: electricity



yes, you are right. i can't imagine a way to prove that energy is not
created or destroyed. it is also BEYOND logical reasoning, because it is not
yet a proven fact. by "logical reasoning" i assume you mean referencing to
already proven facts as a basis of your thoughts and information.

do any of these ideas belong in a physics list? well, i hope so. a lot of
these ideas are right-brained ideas that i am trying to find logical
explanations for. i don't think too many people analyze the intelligence of
energy. what a foriegn concept that is. especially to someone that really
knows physics, because it is hard to prove.

now if what i said before irratates you, that was not my intention. it seems
like when you start delving into ideas like ESP and pyschic phenomenon - or
the intelligence of energy, physics majors start getting cranky. why?
because these subjects are hard to prove, and therefor - not worthy of
consideration.

i will be the FIRST person to say "don't believe a word i say". it IS
important to use other people's experiences as a guide, i think.

now, if you don't like a particular thread - delete it. i am not trying to
flame anyone, but i also expect the same consideration.

Experimental evidence and logical reasoning are conspicuously absent from
this thread.

But this thread is so deeply
submerged in the miasma of idle speculation that I don't know where to
begin.

One does not begin the learning process by "spitting out" vaporous
theories. One begins by learning a few well-known facts. The number of
possible theories that can exist in the absence of facts is infinite, and
it is a colossal waste of time to discuss them. One simply must know a few
facts before beginning to theorize, in order to keep the number of
hypotheses under control. It also helps to know the procedures for
distinguishing a valid logical inference from an invalid one.

Feynman's book _The Character of Physical Law_ might be a good place to
start.
