President Bush is about to announce a new initiative in Space.
Of course it will cost many Billions and there will be a large debate of the parochial and immediate needs of people for those billions of dollars.
I must add to this debate some facts for the proponents of the Space program.
If we try to measure the state of our Science we might realize that we are still relatively in the stone ages. And if so, then there would be still such great potential for new discovery and a commensurate great benefit to mankind.
Much in the past had been discovered and had benefited mankind when we had undertaken new great adventures for the human race.
To measure some of the potential for new discovery that may be obtained from a new great human adventure, I have listed below some things that our mainstream science and engineering do not have answers for.
1. In 1998 astronomers discovered that the universe is accelerating in its expansion. This is OPPOSITE to modern Science and to the Big Bang Theory. Modern Science expects instead that after their theoretical Big Bang that gravity from all the matter in the Universe would be slowing down the expansion of the Universe. So with the evidence of an accelerating expanding universe, the Scientific Experts must assume there is some Dark Energy causing the acceleration.
They call it DARK ENERGY because we cannot detect it or see it. But this Dark Energy is so powerful that it is far stronger than all the gravity from all the matter in the Universe, but we cannot detect it. WOW, are we missing it and are we in the wrong league of knowledge?!
2. After observing the bending (caused by gravity) of light traveling through the universe, Scientists calculate that we cannot directly see or detect more than 99% of mass or matter in the universe. They assume that the matter that they cannot see must cause this. They call it DARK MATTER.
So our Science can only see less than 1% of all matter and mass that is out there even after accounting for all the Black Holes and stars and planets, etc. Boy are we again in the Wrong league of Knowledge and are not even close to understanding what space is, or and what the EARTH is as part of that same Space.
So far then - we have Dark Energy and Dark Matter that constitute most of the Universes power and mass but we cannot see or detect it. We certainly then know little of what we are.
3. As Important our mainstream Engineering Experts do NOT even know what ELECTRICITY is or WHERE ELECTRICITY comes from!!!
Our Best Physicists such as the Nobel Physics prize winner Prof Feynman - admit that Electromagnetic Science is in a SAD STATE.
The most Fundamental proposition of Physics from which much of our Scientific knowledge comes from is the LAW of CONSERVATION of ENERGY that Energy cannot be destroyed or created but that it may only be converted from one form to another form of Energy.
Our mainstream belief of what ELECTRICITY is - is surreptitiously based on the assumption that the revered LAW of CONSERVATION of ENERGY does NOT work! Ha!
To understand this contradiction better, lets think about a Charge such as the Opposite charges in Static Electricity that will make the Hair on your head rise after Combing your hair. There are then Positive Charges on the COMB and Negative charges in your Hair (or maybe its the other way around) that results in an Electric Field between the opposite charges in the Brush and the Hair. You can feel the force and power of this Electric field as you see your hair move from the movement of the Comb although the comb is separated away from your hair. If you touch the comb or your hair, you might hear see and feel the Electrical Spark as the Charges are discharged.
Basically this is where we get ELECTRICITY from from the creation of an ELECTRIC field that is created when we separate opposite charges away from each other, such that we end up with a collection of positive charges on one side and negative charges on another side. Separation of Opposite charges is called a DIPOLE, and when we have a Dipole of Charges we also then have an Electric Field and thus we also have an Electric Potential or Voltage as most of us know it.
We may use hydroelectric water power or steam power created by heat from the burning of Oil to produce energy that will do work to create this DIPOLE of separated charges. This would be similar to when we worked to move our hand to move the Comb through our hair to separate the opposite charges onto the Hair and Comb.
The following shows the GREAT CONTRADICTION against our most Fundamental LAW of CONSERVATION of ENERGY.
When we worked to separate the charges onto the Hair and onto the Comb, we only used a little amount of manual energy to do that. Also the amount of energy in the charges on the Hair and on the Comb can be calculated by simple equation. Also the size of the Electric Field or Voltage that comes from those Charges can be calculated.
If the charges on the Comb and on your Hair could be isolated so that they are not allowed to discharge thru a Spark and not allowed to slowly leak out through your hair roots and into your body and eventually to Ground, then the charges on the Comb and Hair and the Electric Field between them would last forever!!!
And as long as that Electric Field exists, there will be energy and power pouring out of those Charges. You can see and feel the effects of that energy and power as it pulls your hair to the comb!!!
The great contradiction against the LAW of CONSERVATION of ENERGY is that from those limited charges that last forever isolated onto isolated hair and Comb we will get energy and power forever continually pouring out of those charges. As time goes by, the charge will NOT reduce as long as it is isolated and will not reduce as the hair moves as the Comb moves. So over time we can get unlimited power out of those Charges that is far greater than the energy we put into creating those charges.
Electrical Engineering and the teaching of Electrical Engineering in our Colleges conveniently avoids dealing with this greatest of Contradictions.
In effect, our mainstream belief of Electricity then surreptiously believes and assumes the existence of a Perpetual Motion Machine, although mainstream science overtly is powerfully opposed to the Concept of a Perpetual Motion machine!
Of course this position by mainstream Science and Engineering about Electricity then is totally wrong!
Imagine what the world could really accomplish if we understood where all the power really comes in the example of the energy that pours out of the dipole charges in your Hair and COMB!
Basically we are still working with the same Engineering concepts of Electricity that was invented in the 1800s over 100 years ago.
BTW, I dont believe other knowledgeable physicists dispute Professor Feynman on this. it is just left better ignored just dont rock the boat mentality is pervasive in mainstream engineering on this.

The energy field will remain static [sorry], but no power will be realized unless the charge moves, and then the power realized will be less than that required to move the charge, efficiency less than 1, assuming real-world losses.
And as long as that Electric Field exists, there will be energy and power pouring out of those Charges. You can see and feel the effects of that energy and power as it pulls your hair to the comb!!!
There is no energy and power emanating from an electrostatic attratction. There is energy stored in such an arrangement, but no motion of energy. Energy only is released when it causes something to move. And once it does, the energy will be depleted, by the amount of energy put into the apparatus initially.
Perpetual motion doesn't impres me.
What I want to know is how they get all that smoke into such tiny wires?
Really? Have a lot of problem with smoke escaping from your electronics? It's a bummer when that happens. Hope it doesn't happen often.
Even if that's true, these would be photons devoid of energy. A photon's energy is determined by its frequency of oscillation, and with a static field, there is no oscillation at all. Hence, the field is essentially emitting nothingness.
The great contradiction against the LAW of CONSERVATION of ENERGY is that from those limited charges that last forever isolated onto isolated hair and Comb we will get energy and power forever continually pouring out of those charges. As time goes by, the charge will NOT reduce as long as it is isolated and will not reduce as the hair moves as the Comb moves. So over time we can get unlimited power out of those Charges that is far greater than the energy we put into creating those charges.
Bzzzt. Wrong. If you use this field to try to do WORK, the field will be lessened.
Think: Capacitor.
Physicist, dust this guy for me, wouldjya?
I came to the opposite conclusion. ;^)
