Deep Stoner Thoughts

[trichrider]

We know that the presence of matter distorts space in a predictable fashion, as demonstrated in Newtonian theories and even in almost every circumstance in Quantum Theory as well.

We keep looking for gravity as if it were a massless particle generated by matter, when all that gravity it is is a curvature of space that ripples through the fabric of space (and time) at the speed of light through space itself. We are looking in the wrong place. This also explains why we have no trouble finding a gravity wave, because unlike gravitons -- that phenomena would be expected to be observable if all gravity is, is in fact a ripple in space-time.

Importantly, the speed of light can be slowed as it passes through matter. Indeed, it can be slowed to a ridiculously low speed in the laboratory. We can also vary the speed at which an electromagnetic field can be said to observably "travel" as well. Which leads me to my deep thought:

Quare: Can a gravitational effect on space be measurably observed to be slowed or otherwise altered in its speed by any process known to man? If not, why not?

sure enough bro...

gravity is imo electromagnetism caused by the spin of electrons...directly correlated to mass.
without mass there is no gravity, imho.

That's not really a deep stoner thought but rather more of a deep stoner question.

A "deep" thought ummm....Let's see, Pot will see you through times of no money better than money will see you through times of no pot. Now that's deep, not original but true. Oh yeah that was said by a Mr. Freewheelin' Franklin Freak.

Will working in the garden, under the hps, in the nude give me more vitamin D?

Will I lose friends if they find pubic hair in the bud I gift them?

ummm, not if you're shaving proper.

99% empty space in atoms
1% fluctuations

99% monkey/ape dna
1% creativity and imagination

nothing is static, everything fluctuates and existence is either evolving or decaying all at once.

Yes I believe it will

and

Probably but then again if they want pubic hair free bud maybe they should buy it rather then look to gifts for it?

If you think about it, virtually every negative aspect of marijuana use is created either directly or indirectly by the prohibition against it. If mankind were allowed to use marijuana freely within reason (ie not while doing things that are dangerous and require full concentration) then I think in time virtually all of the negative aspects of marijuana would vanish. Even things like short term memory loss, loss of drive, loss of creativity, etc. I think most of those problems come from binge usage which is an indirect result of it being illegal. Because it's illegal we can't use it whenever and have to be secretive so when we finally do get to use it we go way overboard with it because we don't always know when our next chance to use will be and therefore we compensate by doing as much as we possibly can.

i believe cannabis allows synchronization of resonance between the life and death of existence.
natural harmonics being interrupted by a gazillion frequecies of electromagnetic interference...cell phones, television, radio, radar, electric motors, etc.

cannabis modulates damage caused by being unable to filter those frequencies.

i'm baked...

My recent deep thoughts whilst assisted by some very agreeable "MPK"...

Physicists have never been able to find a graviton under any attempted observation; perhaps this is for the very good reason that this particle / brane does not exist.

Moreover, perhaps we are viewing this the wrong way in that gravity is not a property of matter at all; the attractive energy which we describe as gravity is in every respect a property only of SPACE, not of matter itself. Matter is simply the trigger upon which the space is curved and gravity distorted. The point to take away is that gravity is a property of space, not matter; the gravitational field of an object it therefore a measurement of the effect of that mass upon space. While this appears to be semantics, perhaps it is not entirely semantical.

We know that the presence of matter distorts space in a predictable fashion, as demonstrated in Newtonian theories and even in almost every circumstance in Quantum Theory as well.

I was thinking on similar lines. Funny Higgs just got the Nobel prize... Anyway gravity may just be merely inertia from the expanding universe. As the expansion has been seen to be actually accelerating and acting on all this mass which obviously has inertia resisting that expansion.

Maybe this is also where all that dark matter appears from the unexplained extra gravitational pull of galaxies. The accelerating expansion of the universe would add that extra gravity seen and there might be no dark matter needed at all to explain. Or dark matter is also some unseen stuff (that is visible upon closer inspection) we haven't accounted for.

Dark energy which is a vague term I'm not sure they even should name it that either but I guess dark energy should also be taken like the term black box which means they know something's there but not much of a clue as to exactly what.

...could you elaborate on the fabric of space?

i'm imagining plaid or paisly. weightlessness is harder.

weightless in space...not near celestial bodies though, where the gravity of the mass might be encountered.

the universe is electric...shocking isn't it?

tomorrow may or may not be better because of worry and overthinking... but today, right now... will definitely be weaker and worse because of it...

How fast do you have to go to break the speed of wind?

 

[dddaver]

How fast do you have to go to break the speed of wind?

I would guess that would depend on the kind of beans you ate. Reading here makes ME fart.

Some of this reads like they must be on drugs or somethin'...oh wait, they are.

dd-
Thanks for trying to help me get to the bottom of this.
But after a couple of sleepless nights, and much deliberation with my therapist,
we've concluded that this is just one of those questions... best left unanswered.

warm regards,

if wolverine was bitten by a zombie would he be fine or would he become a zombie with wolverine powers?

Is it counter productive to ask a book store clerk where the "self help section" is.

if you fart in the car on a date and its raining is ruder to open the window or leave it up?
