You work in a patent office. One day this chap walks in with a rather
large box and said he has invented antigravity. He places his box on
your trusted old spring balance and the reading is 30kg. He then
presses a button on a remote control, and series of strange noises
are heard coming from the box. Lo and behold, the weight has gone
down to 29.5kg!
After about 30 seconds he presses his remote control again, and the
reading went back to 30kg.
The box is hermetically sealed and your weighing balance is not
compromised in anyway.
You said calmly,"We know that the Laws of Gravitation cannot be
defied, and neither can the Law of Conversation of Mass. I know wht's
going on in the box."

I'd say a better question is why do you call it anti-gravity when it doesn't
reduce the weight to 0 kg.
He needs to go back to the drawing board before he can patent that.

That's for sure!
You could do it with electromagnets.
As a button is pushed, something works across the hermetically sealed
interface to cause a drop in weight.

When you compress the spring does its mass change? How about its weight?
The gyroscope tends to provide rotational inertia, if you have gyroscopes in a
bunch of directions then maybe the box has more inertia without more mass,
allowing that if those are activated on the jump side of a ballast spring then
the inertia doesn't vary over time.
There is conservation of energy and momentum. Is that not so?

"A few properties of the gravitational interaction that help explain when
gravity is important can already be seen from the gravitational force law
F_grav = G m_1 m_2 / r_12^2
o Gravity is a universal interaction in Newtonian theory between all mass, and,
since E = mc^2, in relativistic gravity between all forms of energy.
o Gravity is unscreened. There are no negative gravitational charges to cancel
positive ones, and therefore it is not possible to shield (screen) the gravitational
interaction. Gravity is always attractive.
o Gravity is a long-range interaction. The Newtonian force law ia a 1/r^2
interaction. There is no length scale that sets a range for gravitational
interactions as there is for the strong and weak interactions.

The issue here is, non-linearity of ordinary weigh scales under
vibration. You can see a very similar effect in a common office
swivel chair. Sit on the chair with no part of you touching anything

you get the chair to move a little? Move yourself quickly to one
side in the chair, then slowly back. Can you slowly inch across the
floor? Whee hee! That's a riot. Now, ask yourself if you have anti-
gravity. Or if you have a reactionless drive.
When some confidence trickster comes to you with a black box, and
won't show you what is in it, then he is automatically a liar and a

application of existing stuff, then he's insulting you as well.

The box is hermetically sealed.
The box is hermetically sealed.
How much would you need to do to change the atmosphere around the box to
make it more buoyant? Maybe you could have a heater in the bottom of
the box that heated the air just under the box and a refrigerated
surface on top? Or you could have some completely unrelated device in
the room... pass an air current over the surface of the box to reduce
downward pressure? Or change the air temperature?
I can't be bothered working out how great these effects might be, but
yeah, just guessing :)
The box has inside a heavy ball that is released to spirall down a
slope (ramp).
Well, in principle there could be one ferocious power source in there,
generating gamma rays (or some such) that penetrate the box and are
directed downward. You'd need a couple of gigawatts, though.

You mean what's going on *outside* the box. You said the box is
hermetically sealed, but it has attachments on the side that
grow legs, and the box lifts itself off the scale in a
fairly straightforward fashion.
An even more straightforward alterative, but one which would
depend on an overhead ferromagnetic object, would involve a
battery in the box, an electromagnet, a small radio receiver,
and a switch. (A variant that levitates the box by pushing
down on the usually metallic pan scale is interesting, but
it wouldn't change the weight unless the box is bigger than
the pan scale, and the table is metallic, too.)
If one allows a sufficiently large box and a rather naive clerk,
one could get away with a large piston. This piston would
evacuate the box (only part of which is hermetically sealed)
through an unnoticed hole. The main problem is that 0.5 kg
of air takes up 0.42 m^3 at room temperature and pressure.
There's also the issue of structural soundness; if one has
a 1 m^3 cube with 6 1 m^2 sides, the force on the top side of
that cube will be 101,350 N -- the equivalent of 10 metric tonnes
sitting on the top of the box. (The other sides get an equally
strong force.)
An interesting experiment is to place some water in an
otherwise empty aluminum soda can, heat it to boiling
(carefully), then, using a pair of tongs or a hot pad,
upend the can into a handy dish of cold water. Not quite
as spectacular (or as dangerous!) as pouring a gallon
of liquid oxygen on a smoking charcoal, but the results
are instructive.
Another variant would liquefy the air in the box and dribble
it through the small hole. However, the sizzling sound on
the scale proper would probably be noticed.
Another idea: a matter bomb. Of course, one would want
to move quite some distance away before converting 0.5 kg
of, say, hydrogen to 450,000 teraJoules. (By comparison
the entire state of California might generate 45,000 megaWatts.
The conversion of 0.5 kg of matter would satisfy our power needs
for a week and a half.) Putting that matter back would be
difficult, if not impossible.
And if all else fails, one could simply surreptitiously put
one's thumb on the scale, or lift the box using a wire attached
thereto (is the remote control the wireless variety, or is
it the by now *very* old fashioned wire-to-box affair?).
Presto! Antigravity -- until the clerk notices.

Hey thanks.
Have you heard of the micro-lensing anomalies between the Earth and Sun? What are those?
I don't know about the nanogyroscope system. It seems that if you had enough of them then
you could import inertia in 6 DOF.
I was thinking about gravity the other day, where I have a notion that the universe is
infinite and is surrounded by an infinitely distant, infinitely dense shell of energy. So,
I was thinking why gravity is attractive, and then wonder if instead gravity is repulsive,
where mass is repulsed towards the omnipresent origin and that mass would block or occlude
that repulsion. This is where I think the resolution of the 2-body system would be the
same. I abandon that notion. Where I readily abandon that notion, I still wonder about
which force acts constantly at infinite distance.
About this mysterious box, I wonder what the original poster has in mind. I'm surprised no
one has yet said "dude, antigravity." If the remote control springs a jack-in-the-box then
the free-moving scale would indicate that change in the system. This is where you would
expect that if the mass of the box is 30 kg, and it is measured at less then it must then be
measured at more than that, ie, the force times time equations need to balance, the spring
is connected to only one side of the box.
You can set a gyroscope to spinning at an angle and gravity will not pull it over until it
overcomes the rotational inertia of the gyroscope. While that is so, if you put the
spinning gyroscope on the scale then it would mass the same as the still gyroscope. I think
that is so, yet, when the spring is compressed, does it have more weight or mass?
So, if the box contains a jack-in-the-box and billions and billions of gyroscopes averaged
over each axis through the sphere, and the jack-in-the-box erupts and initially imports
_more_ force onto the balance arm, then towards the end of its initial spring _less_, when
there is less force and all the gyroscopes start in a balanced way, the system of the box
would eventually return to the exact same force on the balance arm. The question is: would
it do it more slowly? If so, could it be indefinite in duration depending on idealized
infinite velocity gyroscopes?
The box is imparted upwards, and then the gyros start, and it slowly drifts down onto the
balance and presses firmly into it with the increased inertia it has from single axis
rotational inertia in many dimensions, to a maximum of the same maximum from the
jack-in-the-box spring alone.
That's like those springy jumps in ballet, what is that, ballon? Kung Fu flight.
What goes up must come down.
Chuji Tsuboi's _Gravity_ I have read.
About the single gyroscope, consider this one: put the gyroscope on the table and start it
spinning at an angle, and slide the balance pan so that it is incident to the frame of the
gyroscope, and the mass is light. As the gyroscope slows, the mass reading increases. The
mass on the table is constant. The point there is conservation of momentum.
Nonsense?
Regards,
Ross F.
When the gyroscope is spun, it exerts the same force as is applied to spin against its
foundation. Then, if there are balanced gyroscopes, eg a pair of gyroscopes spinning in
parallel axes in opposite directions in the same frame, then the force of spinning would seem
to cancel out any force external to the gyroscope assembly, yet when spinning the assembly
would have increased rotational inertia.
With the box on the balance, it is set on a flat side, there is no rotational force on it as it
and the Earth are idealized point masses. Thus, I wonder if any balanced gyroscopes could ever
increase the linear inertia of the box, without increasing the mass, as the gyroscope increases
the rotational inertia of itself without increasing its mass. That leads to more inertia in
the system without necessarily more energy, due to conservation of energy.
Then, the idea is that if there are on average in every axis of motion increased "components"
of inertia, then with F=ma, force equals mass times acceleration, there would be an
interaction. While that might be so, it is easy to see why that is not so because there are
only linear components of gravitational force between the box and planet.
Consider the line connecting the centers of mass of the box and planet, each indefinitely small
piece of either planet or box has the same mass where they are uniformly dense but different
position relative to each other component of the same or other element of the 2-body system.
Besides the continuous map of force, there is the notion of lines of force that basically
approximate a magnetic field, where any gravitic interaction would be an energy field and would
have linear and rotational components. This might be easier to see if the box and Earth has
the variable of their mass reversed, or comparing a very dense ball's interaction to a beam
given various conditions of the system of the beam and ball.
.The rotational inertia of the spinning gyroscope is basically just the acceleration of the
spinning component of the system in addition to imparting rotation, that it takes further
acceleration to rotate the system because what that does is slow the gyroscope, except when it
flips over. Flipping the non-powered spinning gyroscope over its axis causes it to slow,
stumble, and stop.
Anyways this is all quite trivial and mundane where it is not incorrect.
It was interesting to read about the system where two spinning components in a fluid at one
relative frequency attract each other, and at another repel each other, I wonder how that
changes with different shapes of the enclosing tub, basically concave or convex in terms of
various lattices about the spinning components agitating the fluid medium. If that effect then
existing, then rotational force could be converted to linear, but only oscillatingly linear.
I mentioned the idea that gravity is repulsive instead of attractive. Here's some more along
those lines, it has to do with the "dark matter". So, I wonder if the dark matter represents
"2/3" of the mass of the "universe", but is not present, if it is instead infinitely distant in
basically one dimension where just as the "origin" would be everywhere that the N-dimensions is
1 dimension at these infinite distances. So then the mass of the universe appears to be the
same as the dark matter to the left, and the dark matter to the right.
Another place "thirds" appear is in the standard model of subatomic particles, where for
example the quarks have a third of the mass or charge of each other. The three items comprise
each 1/3. Would you please explain the appearance of the ratios "1/3" and "2/3" in "subatomic"
"particles"? I'm aware of the law of small numbers, where that means just because something is
so for 1, 2, 3, that without an inductive guarantee that there is none..
Then, the notion is that if you have this line of things, each infinitely distant, then those
things might be the same thing or different, and each might or might not have its own distant
neighbors. Then that could represent a variety of theories about the universe.
Anyways this is mostly just ignorant layman's conceptualization of these gross quantities.
While that is so, I also believe in the scientific method, and tend to believe what I see.
Science fiction is an informed guess. Here, instead, I'm trying to get an idea of how we can
scientifically explain the poster's box. Can the nanogyrscopes convert potential energy to
linear inertia and thus cause the box to float?
The ball on the inclined plane ramp seems the best answer. While that is so it might not work,
depending on how long between start and stop of the effect., and 30 kg of the box and .5 kg of
the reduced measured mass, in say a 50 cm cube box. Also when the dropping ball stopped it
would impart an "impulse" to the balance for a reading above 30 kg. There is reached a point
where the ball on the ramp would mass more than 30 kg and require more than 50 cm in dropping
to continue the effect. The same issue would hold for some inertial dampener of the
nanogyroscope, yet in different terms as much energy could be stored in a small amount of mass
to spin the gyroscope arrays, the ball rolls down the ramp as accelerated by (the force of)
gravity.
"The box is hermetically sealed." Also it is radiation proof. How sure are we that the
demonstrator is a hoaxor?
Is there any utility in the notion of adding and removing linear inertia by affecting
rotational inertia, or is it nonsense? I'm interested in a method to convert rotational to
linear inertia or momentum.
Is the universe its own dark matter to the left and right? Is gravity repulsive?
Warm regards,
Ross F.
Ignorant idiot. Gravity Probe-B has four fused silica gyroballs
spinning at 10,000 rpm in anti-parallel pairs. The fused silica
housing spins at a small fractional rpm. Everything free falls in
step to sub parts-per-billion. Spin vs. no spin has no effect
whatsoever on mass or weight by empirical demonstration over months of
continuous accumulated observation to date.

Hey, here's one, an effect, they call it a "paradox". Now, I think it's good to hear about
what people call a "paradox" in the physical science. That's because the paradox is where you
can make an advance! So anyways, in searching for "Coriolis Casimir Cerenkov", I came across a
description of what is called the Ehrenfest "paradox", from reading E.M. Francis' web pages,
that actually has to do with rotating gymbals at high speed, like a gyroscope. The
contradiction has to do with the rotational velocity being at relativistically significant
speeds.
I research Ehrenfest, his MacTutor biography describes him as dieing in a dramatic fashion as
he killed his son and then shot himself to death. That aside, Ehrenfest knew Einstein and
Bohr, early proponents of the quantum revolution of the mid-twentieth century, and he was
well-regarded by them, and contributed to quantum mechanics. The biography reports that he was
upset to not be able to reconcile their differing views. That's depressing. There are lots of
human stories.
Research on the Ehrenfest "paradox" leads to discussion of the Sagnac "effect." Those are two
things I never heard of before today!
Hey, that (c^2 - v^2) looks familiar.
http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s2-07/2-07.htm
A quote, those MathPages are usually very good:
"Despite the ease and clarity with which special relativity accounts for the Sagnac
effect, people who lack a sound grasp of basic physics and mathematics
sometimes imagine that this effect entails a conflict with the principles of
special relativity. The usual claim is that the Sagnac effect somehow falsifies the
invariance of light speed with respect to all inertial coordinate systems. Of
course, any attempt to show that the Sagnac effect implies non-isotropic
light-speed with respect to some system of inertial coordinates is doomed from
the start, because the simple description of an arbitrary Sagnac device given
above is based on isotropic light speed with respect to one particular system of
inertial coordinates, and all other inertial coordinate systems are related to this
one by Lorentz transformations, which are defined as the transformations that
preserve light speed. Hence it's clear that no description of a Sagnac device in
terms of any system of inertial coordinates can possibly yield non-isotropic light
speed, nor can any such description yield physically observable results different
from those derived above (which are known to agree with experiment)."
The box could contain a superheated core, and on activation Peltier converts the heat to
electricity, storing the energy and cooling the mass, diminishing its weight. Nonsense?
When I write the query "Nonsense?" that means it seems a feasible explanation, and if it is not
I want to know and why.
Inertial "capacitors", converting linear to rotational inertia, basically imply luggage that
carries itself. They would wind themselves up, though, necessarily returning to the point
where they started, or rather, their _momentum_ would have to return. If they were mechanical,
soon they'd be disposable. So, it would be more like a rubber band system, or a spring
system. Don't worry, that's nonsense.

It doesn't matter what form the energy takes, 'heat' or 'electricity'.
If the energy stays stored within the box, then the system stays at a
constant mass/energy. The weight stays the same.

That's right.
The box is hermetically sealed, radiation proof (except for the remote
control command), and its surface is constantly room temperature.
It seems that the ball on the ramp would partially explain the effect,
which otherwise appears to defy the laws of physics. However when the
ball was stopped then the balance would register a mass higher than 30
kg. As well, when the ball was reset then the force on the box would be
more than gravity in the direction of gravitational force as the ball was
imparted potential energy.
That leads into some consideration of the difference between a scale and a
balance, and weight and mass.
I consider further the gyroscope case, where the balanced gyroscopes are
accelerated to near c. Then, does not the mass of the gyroscope
increase? For a massy object to reach c, it takes an infinite amount of
energy, because its mass increases as it approaches c. If the box in its
initial state contains a gyroscope spinning at near c, and then it is
slowed, does its mass reduce? That energy would still be in the box.
Consider a modification to the experiment where the box is firmly attached
to the end of a swivel arm bolted to the table by an unbreakable arm and
swivel. It is simple to see how the system of all components of
gravitational force between the box, arm, balance, and the table would
remain the same, but a gyroscope plus spring mass could lead to various
.systems on the balance.
I'm ignorant, the other day I heard that a spring under tension has a
higher mass than the relaxed spring.
I guess the box experiment resolves to that conservation of energy is the
same thing as conservation of momentum. No energy or mass enters or
leaves the box.
So, I wonder if the energy can be converted rapidly in the box, and if
between mass and energy in conversion among various types of mass and
energy there are fluctuations in the system, where mass and energy are
conserved, perhaps over time, perhaps specifically in the black box, that
the fluctuations could be superimposed upon each other to be measurable.
This is a thought exercise where it is basically axiomatized that the
experiment proceeds as was mentioned in the original post, and then to
explain it. It seems rather obvious that that axiomatization is
inconsistent, and the basic explanation is thus: that's impossible.
So, what happens as the (matched) gyroscope(s) spins at near c?
Warm regards,
Ross F.
For example, say you have two gyroscope assemblies, where an asembly is
basically a set of gyroscopes balanced so that they don't impart rotational
force to the box, they are spun at the same speed in the same plane in
opposite directions.
There is the lighter and heavier gyroscope array, and the lighter array is
spinning much faster than the heavier array. Now, the light array is slowed,
and it loses mass because it was near c, but all the energy that comes off of
that isn't enough to accelerate the heavier gyroscope array that it gains as
much mass, because it is much heavier and remains at non-relativistic speeds.
Thus, energy is conserved.
It seems that there is in that sense conservation of energy or increased mass
of extremely fast objects, and not both. Then again, they could balance
perfectly, as would be implied.
They have that "teleportation" in the lab, could the box have matter
teleported into and out of it with no physical interaction across the box
boundaries? Would then the box necessarily have been open at some point to
correlate or entangle particles?
There are no closed black boxes.
If the atom is the smallest particle, then there is consideration of its
comprising particles, and its and theirs, it reminds me of the infinitesimals
from the mathematics.
So, does a massy object gain mass as it is accelerated?

otherwise accelerate the rim about the center.

Relativity?

I get to reading about the light cone, and how the events would be in event
simultaneity planes skew to various observers. Then, I consider the three
observer system, and how as the relative velocities of the two observers
going in opposite directions approached light speed, that their simultaneity
plane as ellipse would become a hyperbola, just as any cross section of a
right cone is an ellipse or hyperbola, or angle-interior.
As well, where A is stationary and L and R go off to the left and right at
(near) c, the intersection of their simultaneity planes is A's entire
worldline. Thus, time stops for L and R.
About the Linear <-> Rotational, it's like trying to get a plane out of a
line, which is almost as bad as getting a line from a point. Then, you get
into infinital geometry mutations, and then the damn epistemological.
There's a straight line from nothing.
This is gonna be fun.

Hey I'm still wondering if you would hire me as your research
assistant. I don't have a criminal record, I have a driver's license
and am insurable. My only traffic accident in the last five years was
a blown out tire doing 85. In Montana they don't have speeding
tickets, I don't yet have any speeding tickets. Oh wait, that's wrong,
the donut blew out 300 miles later, longer than its expected life. Now
I carry a full-size spare instead, the other ancient and revered Toyo,
my bowling ball clocks an average 21.5, I think it's a 14 pound ball.
I still owe some guy for scratching his car. I remember your tire
advice, but don't care, I'm riding Seiberling and Big-O. Seiberling
was the first tire manufacturer to cut grooves in the tire treads,
almost a hundred years ago, and after Einstein's seminal QED paper. I
speak English and am legally employable in the United States, being a
United States citizen. I'm familiar with auto mechanics. I'm more
familiar with pre-95 than post-95 automobile systems. I have some of
my own tools, basically I don't have a dwell meter or eeprom burner.
I'm familiar with library systems. I only need 1200 calories a day,
that being 1.2 * 10^6 calories, but I can handle much more, and coffee,
with sometimes nicotine. I get good coffee, the doughnut people like
me.
If I was your research assistant, _then_ you could tell me what to do.
If I didn't like it I'd quit. (Don't get me wrong, I think I would
enjoy being your research assistant.)
So anyways, you cantankerous old bastard, spill it. With your tad,
skosh, smidgen, fudge factor, random statistical noise, shim, red or
blonde pubic hair, well, now you've got me distracted, play, etcetera,
what exactly are you talking about when you say, "oh, there's just this
minor unexplained phenomenon, please don't push that large red plunger
there", and then, "please read and decipher the instructions for the
use of that large red plunger". (Klaxons.)
I would think that the gyro would gain as much mass as was equivalent
energy put into it that otherwise in a quite linear fashion as torque
axially accelerates the gyro spin past c. It's not accelerable to c,
that one of the tenets of the science that we use to explain the nature
of physical reality.
So, I would state that, and now you're telling me that's not the case.
I tell you what, nothing's wrong, nature doesn't give a care. That's
not to say physicists can't care up nature pretty bad.
Reality Correcting the Hypothesis, or any of those other spontaneous
acronyms, now here I have deleted paragraphs I have written about the
redhead vagina, and its biological connection to the generative organs
with direct links to the bearer's brain. Royal College Hysterium,
that's pretty good.
Obviously enough, in context, I and other readers can decipher the
meaning of some of your less technically superspecific expert and
practiced explanations of primarily chemistry and also other fields.
Also, Al, as I am writing this directly to you, I hope to educate
others that your opinions of your own non-scientific opinions vary.
Also, people should know you're almost always right about scientific
things.
Hey, do you ever play that StarCraft - Brood War video game like old
Koreans? Here are some replays, I play solitaire against the computer.
It gives me a chance. If you put them in the StarCraft replays folder
the game can play them. I play against the computer, those kids who
play StarCraft online would just destroy me. They would definitely
destroy you. I use the same snow skis as Team USA, 185 cm. I like 'em
short.
http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~raf/starcraft/
While you're there, here, you can see what I think of these other
fields, or rather, my perspective seven years ago:

Exception mode on:
No, your box don't fly anywhere.. it's *hermetically* sealed.
Not you.. the box is hermetically sealed.
The helicopter ain't going anywhere dumass... the box is hermetically sealed.
Exception mode off.
What he obviously means is that the helicopter hovers inside the box,
therefore not contributing to the weight of the box. Dumbass.
And how pray tell does a helicopter fly with no air?
H e r m e t i c a l l y s e a l e d .
If you look it up on the internet, you'll discover that helicopters need air to
fly or even hover.
It's hermetically sealed. So the helicopter can't move it's rotors inside the
raspberry jelllo filling it.
The box is hermetically sealed. Helicopter rotors don't work very well trying
to move chicken soup around.
Mati Meron | "When you argue with a fool,

Or, put another way, if there is a hovering helicopter inside of
the air-filled hermetically sealed box, it is lifting itself by
pushing down on the air. [*] The air has to push down on something
else, namely the inside of the box.
About all one will get out of this exercise is a slightly
warmer hermetically sealed box.

But the box is hermetically sealed!
.................................................................
This is getting slightly silly, but there are seals and there are seals.
[1] Impervious to escaping gas. This is the usual meaning, but would
not preclude electromagnetic activity. For example, a plastic
box full of air, a battery, and an electromagnet which can
lift itself up off the weight -- assuming that there's something
above it that is magnetic in nature (e.g., a block of iron)
that could help in that regard, which there probably isn't.
[2] Faraday cage. If the box is solid-copper-clad, it is very resistant
to electric and magnetic fields, and also to any electromagnetic
waves larger than a few hundred picometers in wavelength.
If one uses a fine copper mesh, electromagnetic waves larger than
the mesh can't slip through and the resistance is weaker --
and of course air molecules aren't all that big.
I'll admit to some curiosity here, but there is a minor lift problem
as Bernoulli is usually taught.
high-speed, low-pressure path
--------------
-- ------
*-------------------------------trailing edge
low-speed, high-pressure path
It's actually rather impressive, considering the density of the medium,
that a wing can lift a plane at all, but lift it does, and the
plane travels through the air faster than an equivalent vehicle
on the ground. However, at the trailing edge of the wing, the
air streams merge, and, since the top air is going faster, it
will most likely tend to push the slower-moving stream downward.
However, I'm not all that up on my fluid mechanics, and the
upper air stream does have slightly reduced density.
There's also the vortex at the edge of the wing, which presumably
saps some of the energy as well (and can leave a nasty whorl for
a following plane to get mixed up in). How that affects the
analysis, I don't know.
A helicopter is basically a rotating wing, which presumably pushes
through the air using Bernoulli's Principle to generate lift;
however, AFAICT it also *twists* the air, generating a mild
cyclone-like effect. (The milder, the better.) The wing
vortices probably won't do much either way in this case.
My guess is that the hermetically sealed box will heat a bit,
as the helicopter inside is lifting itself off the bottom of
its box. It will also make noises. It won't reduce the
weight (force of the box bottom on whatever it's sitting on).
Of course there is the question as to the motive force of the
helicopter; if it uses standard gasoline/diesel/avaition fuel
it will quickly exhaust the oxygen supply within the box and
come crashing down as its engine dies. A battery-powered
affair might fare slightly better but it too will eventually
run out of energy.
The best way to reduce the weight is to interfere with the
scale mechanism. :-)

This is where I posit the box contains a pair or set of gyroscope
arrays of increasing mass. The first gyroscope spins at such a high
rate of speed that its apparent mass has increased. By using some of
its energy to spin a massier gyroscope, the mass of the first gyroscope
decreases as its velocity decreases, and the velocity of the massier
gyroscope increases, as does presumably its mass to not violate special
relativity or rather the interpretation of the notion that light speed
is constant in all reference frames.
http://flux.aps.org/meetings/YR97/BAPSAPR97/abs/S370.html#SC11.008
I've seen there are a variety of reasons why the gyroscope can not spin
near light speed because it would contract. Another notion is that the
two gyroscopes in opposite directions to form the array would have
their "sides" spinning in opposite directions, thus that when the array
reached half c in its own little reference frame, then compared to a
particle on the other gyro it would be going 1c.
-> .5c
O
<-
.5c <-
O
->
So the gyroscope can not spin to .5c, in the presence of another gyro
going the opposite direction.
If you have four gyroscopes in the balanced array
-> <-
O O
O O
-> <-
Then it begins to look like the "Spacetime Wheel."

Anyways, I hope you would clarify what is the RCH there. Would it
allow the light gyroscope to spin down and de-mass the box? I'm not
expecting your answer to be affirmative.

The statement "fucking with sam" has no meaning here since 1, sam doesn't care
about what tj does, says, or thinks, and 2, tj isn't equal with sam in any way,
shape, or form, so tj thinking he is having an equal dialogue with someone WITH
brains is about as funny as an ant thinking it is equal to a thinking person.
lots of stuff, thinking he is on an equal level with those here who have brains.
When you say left-right symmetry, is that just for chirality?
The geodesics as paths in the curved space-time Cl(3,1) (or Cl(1, 3))
seem to be complicated for non-point masses.

In the case of the paper you reference, there are two pulsars in a
double-neutron-star (DNS) binary system, J0737-3039A and J0737-3039B, at
23 milliseconds and 2.8 seconds, where that measure for pulsars is how
often they rotate.
So the fast pulsar of the binary, 3039A, is spinning every 23
milliseconds, and presumably that is quite a fast angular velocity of 1/
2.3 * 10^3 * 2pi radians/sec, where given the radius r of the pulsar
the velocity of the outside of the pulsar at the equator would be the
angular velocity times r.
http://news.space-explorers.com/display.asp?v=1&i=8&a=4
The above article says that for some reason the pulsar only attains half
of the otherwise maximum speed. Who knew?
So anyways in that system there as the pulsars have a different period
they will be slightly affecting each other gravitationally, via
Coriolis. As their rotations equilibriate, then the faster pulsar is
going to lose some mass as its speed is decreased. While the system can
probably be considered far enough away from other systems that there is
no input energy, the system is emitting energy. In taking that into
account, there might be enough precision in the instrument data to
determine if mass leaves the system as the pulsar rotations equalize, or
rather equilibriate.
This is presuming that the faster pulsar has lighter mass. Otherwise,
we'd (or rather I'd) expect the lighter pulsar, or system, to gain mass,
as it leisurely proceeds towards the pulsar collision in 85000000 years.
Humor: http://www.sciscoop.com/story/2004/4/1/81449/27584
So, there is the pulsar system as gyroscope array: a free laboratory,
with no regulations, except light speed is constant.
"Try not to hate."
Warm regards,
Ross F.

There must be some communication between the remote control and the

This doesn't rule out an electromagnet, except it would somehow have

spring constant).

Tomasso.
B & B have something along the lines of what they "parallel transport."
For some reason that seems ridiculous. It's not, it just seems that way.
The Turyshev paper thesis is that the weakness of relativism and relativity
is gravity, and there are described several experiments to gain further
precision in testing relativistic effects of basically the second
dierviative of light bending, where they can get the first derivative here
on Earth. They should be able to get the second derivative on Earth as
well instead of installing "a 100 meter panel on the International Space
Station."
Schucker's paper discusses Connes geometry and something about even
spectral triplets, that have five components, variously commutative and
anti-commutative, with unitary reflections, in an unruly manner.
I scanned through part of Schwartz's paper, that's Al here, Schwartz is on
some kind of bender about the "weak equivalence principle" of gravity and
thus as well the "strong equivalency principle." Crammed in three or four
pages are introductory material, then experiment description progresses,
with a few log plots showing straight lines, and then some discussion.
Appendix A says "Hund's Paradox". A paradox to me is like a red flag to a
matador. Hund's Paradox is that there be chiral molecules displaying
empirical R- or S- configurations but not superposed opposite parity
states. What the hell is that? Appendix B discusses the Green's function
and considerations of Newtonian actions in the large.
The Dual Neutron Star data is probably sitting there for the asking. It
might only take ten or so years of data to verify that conservation of mass
at relativistic speeds.
Dude, HEP.
