Author | Topic: Laws of Conservation? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Hmmm, not really Whatever you read about virtual particles has a good chance of simply being wrong - scientists will often make up any old crap if it helps "explain" a hard concept - believe me Agreed. Just my undergrad take on what is clearly outside the scope of my current knowledge. However, I've just been trying to bump that point. Notice in one of my previous posts I used the word appears; it appears to break the laws of consevation. I was hoping someone would jump on that and clear it up better for me. So, how 'bout a quick explanation of what happens to the energy in particle/anti particle annihilation. Which will surely require more of an explanation. If you don't want to bother, cool.

Straggler writes: If by "lost" you mean dissappears altogether then yes that would break the law of the conservation of energy. Which is what happens to virtual particles. It is my understanding that rather than a loss virtual particles popping into existence imply a temporary gain. It is also my understanding that virtual particles fully adhere to conservation laws because they exist for times less than the Planck time. However I am talking off the top of my head and, like you, I have probably exceeded the limits of knowing what I am talking about so I could be talking out of my virtual arse and be temporarily violating the conservation of nonsense. Maybe Cavediver can explain? Or I suppose we could try and look some stuff up for ourselves.

Cavediver,
What if a isolated system exploded? Would that scenario break the law of conservation of energy? Edited by Black, : edit

If you don't want to bother, cool. Oh, believe me, I ALWAYS want to bother - in just about every thread here at EvC - it's just time is so limited when you run your own company. It's nearly 1am so I'll get back to this after some much needed sleep

What if a isolated system exploded? I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. Any conventional explosion simply widely distributes the energy content of a volume. For all the talk of a nuclear explosion causing a loss in mass, if you summed up all the constituent elements of the explosion, never mind how far flung, no mass nor energy would be lost.

cavediver,
So, effectively, every isolated system is a isolated subsystem? what are the theories related to that phenomena? seems like a creator is required to be able to have a system of such in existence.

So, effectively, every isolated system is a isolated subsystem? No. To be a subsystem it would necessarily have a relationship to another system. I'd think it goes without saying that two systems communicating their existence to each the other are not isolated from each other.
[qs][S]eems like a creator is required to be able to have a system of such in existence.[/qs] In what way does it seem so? Are you saying imaginary constructs must have a creator? An ultimate imagineer? I'd be prone to agree. Genesis 2 17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shinniest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness. 18 And we all live happily ever after.

Universe = isolated system is the space outside of the universe a system?

It's very nice that you have a word and that you spelled it correctly. Now how about a period at the end of the word, to make it a sentence?
Actually, how about more words, strung together to form larger sentences? Then you can group those sentences into paragraphs.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon. There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot. Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

sorry it is just that your post was pointless and rude and also as such hypocrtical in the sense that I wasted a post but so did you.

inflation Enjoy your suspension, incidentally. However inflation is about the inflation of space itself. Why does this make one confident that there is space outside the universe? Are you saying that space is inflating into space? That doesn't seem to make sense. If you (or anyone else) actually want to discuss this particular issue, maybe you could do so at What is the universe expanding into? or maybe expanding universe or a whole new topic perhaps.
