This page is for family members who may want to know how I was bragging to myself over a couple of ideas over the last few years but getting pretty much a bad reception from them over say, everything... If you are looking for my psychic method go here... EzPsi. I also have an FTP of the whole site at FTP EzPsi. I realize the psychic method thing may make you suspicious of the "ownership" of these ideas, but for the record they were mine.
The first is the physics idea though I admit I do not know if it is Linus Pauling or not. It concerns the physics of chemistry. I suggest there are no shells or orbitals only the simple geometry that the electrons should naturally gravitate to. What I mean is notice the almost "perfect" shapes etc., tetrahedron, cube(6), cube(8 = corners), 12-sided, etc. Look I don't have the right words or language for this, just what I remember from college chemistry and physics... The "perfect shapes" 4, 12, and 20-sided fall all along the alkaline earth metals. So lighten up on the next few sentences as I suggest the are no periods, shells or orbitals - JUST GEOMETRY. I plan to go buy a 20-sided and see if it has 38 corners, realizing that for a 12 sided the corners wont work because they aren't equidistant from the center of each pentagon and themselves with each corner the same distance from the nucleus. They are probably skewed at different temperatures due to some other factor. Some kind of energy existing in each molecule. ADD: I feel it is something kinetic yet related to what has been called the weak force of gravity (I personally don't believe it is weak.) So the idea is no shells, no orbitals, no periods, more like D & D dice of electrons... I have some other ideas but I got a bit carried away when I wrote them up so relax and don't worry about it.
The second idea was around the same time. It is a piece of cloth where you start with a flat weave grid and allow computer driven pixels to be either woven in or not woven in the piece. This way you create a pixelated photo-like weave in a grid of what would otherwise be flat weave. I realize or guess that the loom would fail too often to make this one practical. A variation on the picture idea was to weave at random using some factors creating a hopefully stronger product (like a rip-stop at random.) I posted this one some years ago on an outfit called Brigadoon that I guess as the name suggests went away for 200 years if not forever... errgh. It is in Usenet, barely linked to this name. To my family, hey, that's mine.
Some optics ideas, well an idea really that may generate some more... Are lenses prisms? You know how when you shine light through a prism the colors splay out - well, is that actually happening with normal lenses as well? Are the colors being distorted by the lens? (it's shape(s) and materials...) Would it be possible to correct the colors that came through the lens to a digital eye using some software and the correct math? Anyway, lenses may be prismatic. That's the basic idea. If they are, also, try to make lenses, like using a little feedback work, that have better function or clarity - wondering if they would be sets.
Some non-physics ideas just to get them down, some are several years old (OK, this went poorly... giving credit I mean... OK, this still went badly...) This first idea needs some explanation, my brother and his wife have been doing something special with their young daughter and this entire concept got mentioned in the past year by candidate McCain (increasing human intelligence.) Due to the sending and the fact that we could have the entire corrected program sent down and that I would like to rope my brothers into it I felt I should put this idea down here, to kind of solidify it. But, you may have got upset that it sounded like I took credit for more than I meant to... credit FOR THE DEMONSTRATION, FOR THE INTRODUCTION probably goes to my brother's WIFE (an ex-special education teacher.) Credit for the actual research goes to the researchers (I thought obviously...) SO, using sending and research about education and human intelligence, send down (if we can't finagle it so it's already in) research to increase human intelligence. My observation of what my brother and his wife are doing, should let me solidify it and include it with the sending info. Allow me to PUT IT DOWN where it can be seen with sending info... OK? So here just to inject the idea and solidify the suggestion: a hypothesis that as children's brains grow, TEACHING and PLAYING well with them say during early growth or growth spurts for example will expand the connections within their brains in a biological way. Will build brain matter.
Just for fun I want to put up some of my other ideas that I had over the last several years. Some of them are probably wacky, I was trying a bit too hard and I am taking them now from a page I wrote a few years ago in jail. I have told you I am schizophrenic and they took away my medicines while I was there and some extra chemistry may have come up, so bear with me as you read this it may get silly.
I spent some time asking myself why particles are spherical and I brought up the idea of gravity which I had heard some years before was a weak force... Anyway, I will give mostly a summary. It seemed to me there could be gravity out as well as in, at first I thought gravity toward everything else - but I currently feel there may be what I called a pre-matter soup (sub actually, dark matter had come up, been mentioned.) So the particle forms at a certain radius or size from sub-matter with gravity out to the soup and in toward the particle (maybe and inside - think about that.) Thinking something like this I had some more ideas... Atoms form as a set or sum or relationship of multiple particles, just that the nucleus is bigger and the electrons smaller (I am not going to try and guess the sizes, I hope the math works out later - this may be silly.) So the idea of one alone comes up, which may be a photon or a free electron. So is gravity the only force involved, charge just being a way of "seeing" gravity. At the time (I had seen an IBM atom picture) I was thinking spheres because I was afraid I would have to learn about geometry and spheres and pi for example in a binary way, like there (matter existing) or not... Anyway a photon as a single particle, hydrogen as 2 particles, etc. Recently I thought about mass and the fact that I was taught the nucleus consisted of protons and neutrons. Since what I know about gravity depends on mass I wonder about the radii changing with the addition of another electron and the nucleus changing size to meet that (a nucleus blob of soup.) This would affect the overall geometry of molecules for example. Charge? Is Maxwell's a way of expressing the sum of gravity toward (into the point,) toward (out of the point) and everything else (sum of out in all directions.) The result I feel should appear to be a cross-product. That is all I have for now - still some more strange ideas, maybe later. Hi, this came up I just want to get it down so I don't forget it. On the two particles, can two photons or free electrons get together at say the right distances and velocities and sort of cause a hydrogen atom to form? Just a weird idea.
Some fun from a few years back... animals and babies/children may have different hearing than adults, alter some sound and music to fit children and animals. OK, so I had this physics book some years back that had all sorts or human measurements, and I can just see myself saying we could simply harvest dead baby ears... that may not go over too well. So I would pitch it maybe only to musicians or do this instead, but not with bad intent... use harmless brain monitors and attempt to approach more brain active baby music or IF YOU HAVE THEM ALREADY, get human measurements for some more legitimate purpose like safety (errgh, this sounds pretty bad - normally I would laugh a little but my brothers have young children now and it probably wasn't funny anyway.) Sing along though if you can. Maybe acceptable to adults too - MAYBE. Someone came around and mentioned pitch is slope - so for example babies brains may function only so quickly, you may be able to step them up according to size and level. Much math? Maybe also spatial. And patter. And some singing. Insert: You know that show Teletubbies? I would like to pitch it/to it/for it as a place for some baby music, sounds and singing. Maybe in 5.1. I honestly feel it will be slowed down, but you could get some harmless brain activity maps. I don't always want to put them to sleep. Can I pitch a conversion program with ranges - tweakable. Convert to sheet music too? The joke: a cat singer that sings cat live. Spatial sound: not using headphones yet, go ahead and create virtual speaker points in space, perhaps you can produce digitally. (Maybe correct.) More sound go ahead and standardize a/d and d/a and/or go ahead and correct digitally from front of mic to front of speaker - maybe try for below human noise. So far I posted some starter sentences. Maybe get a reference stereo or a decent digital box. I had a bullet speaker, but it is kind of weird. I feel headphones may be "useable" if you scale up the objects and understand they may be "fuzzy" that's all.
