So that makes it hard to explain the curious periodic variations in the decay rates of silicon-32 and radium-226....
Which suggests that the expectation of Newtonian physics that events in reality are fundamentally local is not correct, that local events can be affected by non-local causes that are not yet identified, let alone properly understood.
What a fascinating thread, Kevmo! We'll have to wait and see what develops. Thank you so much for the ping!
Likewise here, the nuclear decay rate changes are very small - something like 3% - and it cuts both ways. So even if the observation holds up, the effects are not enough to debunk the accepted age of the earth.
The Pioneer effect is another unexpected anomaly. All are very interesting and should be thoroughly investigated, but the effects of all them are quite small.
Still, it is an interesting observation and as you say, may have something to do with non-locality.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
Have you looked at the Hoagland reported thing on von Vraun’s ‘50 year old secret’ and De Palma’s steel ball experiment with one ball spinning and one not—the spinning one going higher etc. than the non-spinning one?
HERE: http://www.enterprisemission.com/Von_Braun?.htm
On p 18 of 39 is the blue background gif of DePalma’s Spinning Ball Experiment. . . . wherein he put 2 identical 1” steel balls such as pin ball machines use . . . in 2 identical cups. Don’t recall all the details but essentially—one ball was in a cup affixed to a spinnable drill. The other wasn’t. After the spinning ball was up to a given number of rpm’s both balls were tossed equally into the air. The spinning ball rose significantly higher etc. as the graph shows from the strobe pics.
