I’m going to try this in my bathroom before work this am. Will let you know how much energy I produce.
“I’m going to try this in my bathroom before work this am. Will let you know how much energy I produce.”
Yeah, the last moron that tried this experiment setup a chain reaction through all of the photons in his universe, imploded it, and created the Big Bang explosion that resulted in a new universe populated by some ceatures describing themselves as humans. Do you really want to risk that again?
By passing your golden stream into the can?
At this point what does it matter?
hehehee
Funniest people in the universe on FR.
This weekend I turned Coors Light - which comes from streams in Golden, CO - into the matter of a golden stream.
In doing so, I believe I did not violate the law of conservation of matter. However, while doing so, I engaged in many conservations that didn't matter.
"Despite all physicists accepting the theory to be true, when Breit and Wheeler first proposed the theory, they said that they never expected it be shown in the laboratory. Today, nearly 80 years later, we prove them wrong. What was so surprising to us was the discovery of how we can create matter directly from light using the technology that we have today in the UK. As we are theorists we are now talking to others who can use our ideas to undertake this landmark experiment."
All this based on some scribbled equations on the back of a napkin at some nondescript coffee shop. How can anyone take science seriously when these types of claims are published?
I agree, except I would speculate that the error is with the reporter, not with the scientists. What they have is a "Proposed Experiment", not a "Discovery".
It's sort of like Archimedes, with his shouts of "Eureka!", while running naked through the streets of Syracuse, after "discovering" how to measure volume of an object while entering his bath tub. His theory ultimately proved correct, but his timing was premature.
The science is settled. The debate is over.
Bttt
Another dumb article with a lying headline.
They have not “discovered” how to create matter from light.
They have come up with a theory. They plan to do an experiment.
My prediction: they will try an experiment. They will announce to the world that they have created matter from light, and the papers will all start crowing about “finding out the secrets of the universe.”
6 months later a small article in a learned science journal will inform us that the conclusion is unwarranted. There will be nothing in the papers.
Oh great. Now I have to wash the bugs off of my windshield and the matter deposited by oncoming headlights.
I give you a triple A+ for creativity for coming up with this one!
Kudos!
I caught that, too.
Science holds far too many theories as fact when they have never been proven. Jumping to conclusions will eventually lead you so far from the truth that you will cease to recognize it.
But boring old truth doesn’t get you research grants like sexy theories that require lots of gold and high-powered lasers to test.
Misleading headline.
The Last Question by Isaac Asimov

When the President of the United States stands in front of Cameras and proclaims climate Change/Globull Warming as settled science based on politics and huge donations from Green Business interests I can understand why others make wild assed claims after doodling on a napkin.
Not seeing much cereal here.
