. Karavashkin's Nobel .
Hi Mark Martin ,
Re: Sergey Karavashkin's idea that a planet might
be formed from something similar to sun spots ,
You comment ,
" With no subsequent delta-V an ejectile at
less than escape velocity will follow
a ballistic trajectory which brings it
right back into the Sun "
Right , but I think Sergey's idea was that
some stars might be spinning so fast that
a particular kind of " sun spot " would be
enough to reach the escape velocity .
Remember , he's suggesting that the heat and compression
inside a planet or star creates a new state of matter
which is positively charged locally ,
but negatively charged outside the planet or star .
I also think he's saying that the magnetic nature of
sunspots and the sun itself help explain how
The ejected matter would then form stable orbits ,
creating something like " Quanta " ... i.e. planets .
( But I could be wrong about that )
It's a very interesting idea ,
but I don't know how to confirm that observationally .
Re: That refinement to general and special relativity :
" The laws of physics , including the speed of light ,
are the same regardless of one's hypothetical scale .
Where :
_ Space , time , and heat are all scaled .
_ Heat is fundamentally random mass-energy .
_ It's always one's incomplete information
that causes any apparent randomness . "
You observe ,
" It's only a refinement at long last if
it happens to pan out observationally .
Does it ? "
Yes it does in fact ...
And I'll soon be getting my Nobel .
And when I do ,
I'll buy everyone here a round of drinks .
No , seriously , I haven't thought it through that much .
but we'll know it's true if Karavashkin gets a Nobel .
But this is exactly the kind of thing that
I like to think about .
