Quackery, or reason for research?
The Flavored Coffee Guy
Hello,
I started studying plasma, and noticed that Neon was in higher use, as
well as an assortment of vacuum tubes in the 40s 50s and 60s. Here's
the interesting part. Prohibition, the mob and a high rate of
organized crime. When the use of Neon and Vacuum Tubes reaches it's
peak, crime by population ratio drops to it's lowest point. As age of
Neon and Vacuum Tubes reaches it climax, crime begins to increase, and
then we finally wind up in the day we see ourselves.
Back then it wouldn't be so uncommon for a Neon Sign, or Vacuum Tube,
to reach a plasma state that included a time reversal. Overall, it
would effect the background radiation and fill it with an unusual
level of time reversals. Even though these can be evaluated in nano
and microseconds. I really believe that they have had some impact on
the social climate and crime rate.
All I am saying is that there seems to be some marked difference in
people's behavior, and it's a better reality, or maybe a less
stressful reality, or possibly a more considerate reality. How ever
that may be effecting the bio-electric system is good. But, for that
to be positively declared some historical research on war, gang
violence, violence, the rate of crime, and the use of gaseous state
plasmas in technology such as vacuum tubes. Most people don't know
that vacuum tubes often Incorporated some gases that would exist in a
plasma state during operation. Whether a neon sign is using a proper
power supply or is running hot would or could only really be known or
evaluated completely in this era. Back then surplus wouldn't have
made exaction so economical. So, it wouldn't be uncommon to see a
neon sign over driven, under driven, running hotter than standard, or
even producing plasmas that exist with frequent time reversals.
Considering that all of this could be a real possiblity I only believe
that there needs to be more research done on the past 75 to 100 years
of crime and the use of technology.

Definite quackery. Why? Because out of nowhere comes this unsupported and
fantastic claim of "time reversals". This is an invention out of whole
cloth on your part. Good luck proving its existence!
I should note that I approved your post only because it was a mild relief
from the usual swamp of spam that is sent to the submission address.
Otherwise I'd have rejected it as being both off topic (the post calls for
discussion on social impacts, which is not the focus of this group) and
because it contained remarkable unsubstantiated claims of "time reversal"
offered with no proof whatsoever.
As to side-effects of technology on crime, your post seems (IMHO) to have
been inspired by these stories on a possible correlation between lead
exposure and crime rates:

You really need to read some textbooks.

I vote quackery also.
I have read plenty of text books and journals, and I have only seen
the term "time reversals" in relation to matter-antimatter behavior. I
have a hard time believing that the plasmas created in a neon tube,
even heavily over driven, are going to generate antimatter, and I have
never seen anything indicating this to be true. I think you may be
taking something you read about what might be happening inside stars
and applying it to the plasmas in neon-tubes. But this comparison is
apples and oranges, the temperatures and electron energies of these
plasmas are many orders of magnitude apart.
While there may be some correlation between the increased exposure to
EM fields/radiation and crime rate I think its effect would be swamped
by the effects of increased population. Studies have shown that when
rat populations exceed certain levels they show increased aggression,
homosexuality and other abnormal behaviors (this is not a statement
against homosexuals, don't drag it in that direction). This also
explains why urban crime rates are higher than rural crime rates.
Blaming technology is not the answer it is human nature that has got
us 'where we are today'.
P.S. if your going to tell somebody to read a textbook, you should
pick up an English textbook first, your babble was nearly
incomprehensible.

anti-matter is one thing I've never read about in a plasma. I've seen
many vien attempts to start fusion and no matter how many people
attempt to do that, they never have built a self sustaining system of
any kind. As a rule, these reactors use more energy than they produce.

Hey, you are a real asshole. You'll be completely embarrassed when
you use these keywords at any search engine.
"Plasma Time Reversal"
Shame on you!
[ Moderator's note: This was originally rejected as inflammatory. I attempted
to contact the poster and told him I would approve if the first sentence
was elided. Since then another poster has sent what is, in my humble
estimation, an equally inflammatory post. At that point I remembered that
I had once intended to adopt a liberal moderation policy, rejecting only
clear and obvious spam and approving pretty much everything else. It is
as close to removing moderation as I can currently get for the group.

Wha?
I've never heard of anti-matter in a plasma either, but I have only
heard 'time reversals' in relation to antimatter. I was trying to
connect your disjointed thoughts but from this latest post I see that
is a fools errand, how the hell did you jump from this to fusion?

One journal publication with the words in adjacent sentences,color me
red. Having read the abstract it serves nothing to support your
original hypothesis though. I'll read the full paper when I get to
work monday..
As for me being an asshole, I responded in the same spirit as your
second post. Telling people they are uneducated when they disagree
with your hypothesis is not being an ass? If you assume your smarter
than everybody expect people to speak to you with contempt. Maybe I am
only an asshole because the florescent lights in my house are making
me crazy with all their time reversals?
I will not reply to this conversation again unless you can tell me how
exactly time reversals exist in a room temperature plasma and how you
think this in any way affects the human anatomy specifically our blood
chemistry / thought processes.

Using Google and quoting only the string "time reversal" with "plasma"
outside the quotes yields several thousand hits.
However, "time reversal" in these contexts generally refers to a technique
of mathematical analysis that depends on the symmetry of the equations being
used with respect to the time variable - it does _not_ refer to, nor imply,
any physically observed reversal of time.

I think threads like this are interesting amusing and useful, and should be
allowed in the group, for the following reasons:
1. Comic relief.
2. The distinction between pseudo-science and science is sometimes blurred
if you are not a specialist in a particular field. Identifying why and where
a claim is absurd is educational for all concerned, especially casual
readers of the group. Even for specialists, it helps to be able to pinpoint
where a particular argument is flawed.
3. When a moderator makes a decision to post or not post, however good the
decision is, it is still the opinion of a single person. When I was the
group moderator I also followed a lenient policy to what was allowed on the
group.
