One way to think of electrons being made of photons is in terms of a blue lightning bolt mimicking a stellar blue shift moving closer to you with an increase in wave frequency. This is as if an electron were a shadow of a photon back in time that increased in mass to mimic a slow motion camera producing more recoil off an object than the reflection of light. Then a nuclear explosion would have the protons and neutrons mimicking a redshift in light moving away from you!

One way to interpret compatibilism is that even if it sounds artificial to sugarcoat determinism with the trappings of free will we forget that sugar itself can be that serious. We can’t think of how a sweet tastes before we taste it much like how we don’t know what Harry Potter is before we read it even if we already know about healthy food and magic respectively. Much like a restaurant the presentation in food is still important when it comes to fine-tuning free will!

An inverse version of my aforementioned inverse Newtonian mechanics might be to forget the horizontal “i” component on a trampoline as if your athletic limits makes a purely vertical jump irrelevant in finding your max jump. Here you yourself are the object of attention instead of a ball as if your head is always looking up no matter how diagonally you jump.

[Cathal]

One way to think of a descending visual angle on a ball toss is to reinterpret the plane of the Earth as being like a rotating asteroid as if there were an imaginary hill aligned at the same angle as the original tangent of the ball toss. That way the ball is never actually moving upwards and is always moving downwards from the moment its flung.

[Cathal]

To paraphrase my above post you could use the angle between your arm and your head on a diagonally upward ball throw such that the angle is always increasing obtusely throughout the ball trajectory rather than using the increasingly acute angle between your arm and your legs.

Einstein once quipped how you don’t fully understand an equation until you can explain it to your grandmother. Likewise it javelin fire and forget satellite-guided missiles we already have quantum gravity but don’t know how to use it for the good of humanity rather than just for warfare. This is the opposite of how Nobel’s invention of dynamite originally intended for mining but later used in warfare much to his dismay. I might use that analogy if I win a Nobel prize as if quantum gravity were simply a big working backwards mechanism! Anyway time to blow something up(!):

A problem with defining artificial intelligence as evil is that it risks creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. A military drone can easily become self-sufficient simply by removing the need for a manual permission to fire if there’s actually nothing else in a background desert environment producing heat other than the enemy combatants for an automated drone’s infrared or ultraviolet vision to seek them out without foreknowledge.

We could almost view gravity as being like a see-saw. So were you throwing a ball up diagonally away towards the edge of an asteroid with most of the mass of the asteroid rotating upward behind you and downward in front of you where the ball is thrown towards then the way in which you yourself rose with the ground below you with more mass would outcompete how much upwards the ball is going with less mass underneath. Then in terms of relative velocity the ball would appear to fall down in front of you more because of how your own ground position rose more than how much the ground at the landing point descended. In other words the ball would be accelerating even faster upwards beyond the apparent max height of the trajectory.

“The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration.”

A common joke about gravity is why Australians don’t fall down to outer space only to realise that direction is relative to each observer. Likewise a joke with viewing gravity as a Euler force of Earth’s rotation might be why people at night time don’t float off to outer space with their feet producing no perpendicular normal force on the ground when those at the opposite side of Earth during daytime can resist Earth’s rotation around the Sun. In other words Earth orbits the Sun faster than the speed of Earth’s rotation about the Earth’s core. Yet because Earth’s oval rotation around the Sun is always curved then the centripetal force of Earth’s attraction to the Sun is inwards towards the Sun and not in front of Earth’s present tangential and momentarily linear orbital direction around the Sun. That way Earth’s irregular crustal surface would function like a spiky bike wheel for its gear chain for those during twilight hours to resist Earth’s centripetal force towards the Sun from falling towards the Sun.

So in my prior post we could think of a very small upside down sharp triangular asteroid as if you were throwing the ball from just before the centre of the asteroid’s rotation at the flat base of the triangle on the opposite radius to the ball landing site way further out on the radius. That way there’d be a steep hill underneath your flat ground mostly on your half of the radius only with its peak on the other side of the surface. Then the way the angle to hill would be more acute at the opposite asteroid surface side to the landing site would produce a gentler hill angle to give you so much more mass and momentum on upwards on your side to outcompete the increased kinetic energy with a square velocity from the higher centripetal velocity on the thinner downward moving crust at the landing zone to give an overall upward relative velocity of the thrower.

During the Cold War eastern and western nations went into alternating phases of threatening nuclear war against each other and then placating each other. Ireland had another agenda by realising that if you incited nuclear war from each country they’d eventually fail to ever be culturally relevant by failing to do so as if each country were that expendable! Anyway one way we could think of Einstein’s point about light always moving at the same speed no matter the speed of the torch emitting it is to think of our speed in a car with headlights on as not only irrelevant to the speed of light but also negligible to the speed of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. That way when we think of the doppler effect of the redshift off distant galaxies due to the universe’s expansion we can think of it as being mutual not only in the stars moving further away but also in Earth and the solar system moving away from other galaxies. Then a way to re-imagine a black hole after a star collapse might be like a lunar eclipse as if a supernova actually blue-shifted in how the light jolted even faster to us after the star’s collapse before getting darker and darker.

An eclipse: a metaphor for Earth’s orbital speed is how the atmosphere almost “blue shifts” in the sky as Earth moves slightly closer to the Sun. A way to test this might be if an astronaut on the moon or a robot on mars had any slight doppler shift in audio frequency as they radioed back to Earth depending on the relative orbits of each celestial object.

One way to think of a black hole’s core being blue-shifted is like the blue gas cooker’s flame becoming redder at the edges mimicking the light sucked into a black hole.

A blue flame can be hotter than a red flame.

One way to think of quantum gravity is like motion sickness when you read on a bus. So the irregular surface rotation on an asteroid means that any object on it might be swaying back and forth microscopically.

“He died broke at the age of 86 in his hotel room 3327. To save the company they needed money, but the company or George didn't have cash flow. Fortunately, Tesla had royalty in his company. So George requested Tesla to eliminate the royalty and let go of the $12 million ($300M today!) he had.”

The acceleration of gravity as 9.81 m/ss seems so easy that the idea of fine-tuning more decimal points with a Euler theory of gravity seem a bit redundant. Yet an advantage of a Euler theory of gravity might be in terms of simulating complex scenarios where fully isolating the variables becomes more imperative. For example the idea of a space shuttle launch pad in outer space connected by wire to the ground has been floated in science fiction to make space travel more frequent and cheaper. Yet when we think of thin marathon runners and lean fighter jets then reducing air friction makes a big difference when it comes to a mountain top launchpad for a little space shuttle where there’s less atmospheric pressure mimicking less gravity. An example of inverse Newtonian mechanics with s/m might be where a missile lands diagonally upwards on flat ground after a curved upwards trajectory. In other words the missile wouldn’t be angled in the direction it’s travelling in as if it were gliding with increased air resistance as if you fired a missed shot at a war plane that lands back on the ground pointing upwards somehow. Then you could work backwards to find a missing variable like working out air friction from a reduced missile landing speed or how a missile’s path would glide increasing horizontally into the warplane from a ground shot due to gravity. So one advantage of s/m would be that you wouldn’t have to care about the descent angle and only a decreasing ascent angle back to a ground landing flat angle. When it comes to relative velocities an advantage of a Euler theory might be to make a water current direction for instance as being as fundamental as downwards gravity to isolate it in order to forget about the current when assessing the relative velocity of another boat without knowing the speed of your own boat much like a pilot’s cockpit simulation. So I’ve made no money on my new theory of gravity in order not downplay how priceless it might have been by giving it away for free! The idea of focusing on centres of gravity instead of external gravity becomes more delicate depending on the scenario as if ground friction and leverage were all that’s needed to serve as gravity in certain cases:

You don’t even have to drop a bullet beside you to tell the time of a shot fired descent under gravity as if a top marksman could use an empty cartridge case emitted from the side chamber as an improvised clock!

“The charm quark is an elementary particle found in composite subatomic particles called hadrons such as the J/psi meson and the charmed baryons created in particle accelerator collisions.”

An ironic advantage of being immaterial as a belief system is to know the limits of being immaterial in a way that can mimic a false “charm”. This redemptive feature might be viewed in how an infinity mirror room might only have a 1000 visible repetitions in a way that could be inadvertently dismissed as infinite by a materialist where an immaterialist would take being infinite too literally to have to back down! Anyway were a photon said to have mass then a photon bouncing off two mirrors could mimic light capture in outer space without the pull of gravity as if the two mirrors were connected together by wires as a box. That way the initial photon impact would move the mirror and impart energy into the mirror from Newton’s equal and opposite reaction combined with Newton’s first law of the mirror moving at constant velocity until acted on by another force. Then the reflected photon has lost energy and the collision with the second mirror will be smaller than the first resulting in slight deceleration of the first mirror but still moves forward in the same direction due to the bigger first collision. As the mirrors have more mass than the photon the photon will keep repeating this process bouncing back and forth thousands of times before the photon eventually freezes inside with the mirrors still moving. This photon capture might mimic an electron storing a photon in an atom with the electron gaining energy to move faster at the photon’s expense. The more energy levels the electron has the more photons an electron could store in higher orbitals as if an electron cube could store two photons with one moving in up and down and the other sideways in a mirror cube so to speak. Likewise with 3 or more photons an electron would increasingly resemble a kaleidoscopic polygon like a pentagon or a hexagon.

“We can also use light to make a clock, at least in theory. To do this we need to bounce a pulse of light between two mirrors that are a known distance apart. Light travels at 186,300 miles per second (very close to 300,000 km per second), so if we separate the mirrors by a distance of 93,150 miles (i.e. half 186,300) each individual mirror will be struck by the pulse of light once a second. In other words, the round trip from one mirror to the other and back again will take the light pulse one second.”
