Good question. I recently had lunch with the head of a plasma physics lab. He told me the Russians might give the best price, as his equipment for producing z-pinch events comes from them. He says one discharge event costs about $10,000 a pop in the US. The main problem is setting up the experiment...

Unsupported yes, but proposed. Did you get a chance to view my suggested plasma/gravity experiment ? What would it cost gfellow? Good question.

At the point when the copy becomes a indistinguishable from the original, are they both not the same until proven otherwise? Nope. Two distinct 'items' that look alike does not qualify them for 'the same'. The 'same' thing can be in two places at the same moment, but that isn't what we are discussi...

Whether they be momentary or sustained, it is the surrounding space that alerts us to its presence. This is an unsupported (by evidence) hypothetical interpretation of 'appearances', with much in refutal against it. Unsupported yes, but proposed. Did you get a chance to view my suggested plasma/gra...

Hi nameless, Sorry your 'puter is giving you trouble. I hope you solve the problem before your computer turns into a brick. Hi gfellow, I predict, based on my metaphysics, that a 'true vacuum' will never be perceived/found. 'Things' are perceived; that which we perceive are called 'things'. Quite re...

In 1928 Dirac proved the Existence of Vacuum The way to "prove the existence" of a vacuum is to produce one . Nameless, I concur. Having given it some thought, there seems to be at least two ways to do this. One is an experiment easily within technological and budgetary parameters. The ot...
