So getting out into the vacuum ...We have a magnetic field sitting in space tapping into boundless energy surrounding it.
Insert energized coil...
Tie this coil to ground and the induced current will flow towards the center of the Earth aka Ground ...place an opposing coil to induce another field and there's your captured energy ....in essence the same principles employed by a simple transformer.
Fact is, thermodynamics is the hard and ugly reality. The beginning of the universe and the origin of space and time is pure speculation. How can you assume that the universe came from nothing when there is no way to observe what has been before space and time came into existence.
I'm saying that thermodynamics is wrong about the fact that energy can't from nothing. The entire Universe came from nothing
Yes you are free to believe whatever you want.
I strongly believe vacuum energy ...
I see. You pick the things you like and ignore the rest. Fortunately science doesn't work this way.
I honestly don't care what thermodynamics has to say about it.
Uh huh. Obviously you haven't looked at the extraordinary amount of evidence which supports the fact that all the energy in the Universe exploded (exploded isn't really the right term but that's not relevant) from a single point.
The beginning of the universe and the origin of space and time is pure speculation.
You didn't even copy the whole sentence. Are you now trying to imply that vacuum energy doesn't exist even after you yourself explained that it was related to Hawking Radiation?Yes you are free to believe whatever you want.

You are choosing to believe in the all mighty theory of thermodynamics yet you are ignoring one the most important theories of all time, the Big Bang Theory. To say all this energy has simply been here all along is a bit like saying God has simply been here all along, without offering any sort of explanation. It's absurd logic.I see. You pick the things you like and ignore the rest. Fortunately science doesn't work this way.

The key to everything is understanding what happened before the Big Bang. Some scientists believe there may have been a countless amount of Big Bangs before this one. It's extremely important to understand where the energy actually comes from in the first place, and Hawking is starting to get there with his negative-matter theory imo (I explained it at the bottom of the last page). It seems to me like they don't want us to think about anything before the singularity because the next obvious questions are what caused the Big Bang and what supplied the energy.
Before it happened, nothing existed but the singularity. Whats important is what came directly after.

You should look up memes and temes. Simply put, you can't suppress it. never in human history has technology been suppressed easily, and all attempts simply lead to backlash that kills the suppressor in due time. Temes want to replicate, and memes want to use them to replicate. They WILL replicate. No act of man will change this fact. It's like trying to hold cells in your hand, thinking you can stop them from reproducing. All they will do is replicate in your hand and live on in the given volume.
For prison, that's not the point. The point is you make friends in prison, and work well to spread your ideas. If these prison folk knew how to do it, they would tell another, who told another, and eventually the teme would replicate somehow via meme.
It's not a question of if you are or are not trying to suppress something. It's a question of how hard you want to fall when it replicates.
It hasn't replicated yet, because it doesn't exist.edit on 18-11-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)
That's simply speculation, and I will explain why I think you are a 'little bit' wrong about that in a moment.
I disagree. The laws of the universe were completely different now than before the big bang, making it knowing what came before pointless and unnecissary for our current understanding of the universe.
I didn't exist, but before I was born my mom was pushing me out. Before my mom was pregnant she was having sex. Babies were born before me and they will be born after I go.
Its like asking "what was i before i was born"?
Actually I don't think that is correct, scientists now believe that space-time is generally flat throughout the entire Universe, and they speculate that space-time could in fact go on forever in all directions. We can only see a certain amount of the Universe, known as the observable Universe.
Well one thing scientists do seem to agree upon is that space did not exist until the big bang and the rapid expansion that occured directly after.
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has confirmed that the universe is flat with only a 0.5% margin of error.[1] Within the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model, the presently most popular shape of the Universe found to fit observational data according to cosmologists is the infinite flat model,[2] while other FLRW models that fit the data include the Poincaré dodecahedral space[3][4] and the Picard horn.[5]
Shape of the Universe
according to one current Inflation model, it was the creation of energy within the initial, already-infinite but empty, universe that caused inflation/expansion to begin with. Basically, in Quantum Mechanics, a vacuum can contain "unseen" energy. If this energy is spontaneously released, it would result in an anti-gravitational force pushing out on every point in space. This is, theoretically, what caused the initial period of inflation.
-
The universe began as an infinite empty space.
Then, the initial quantum vacuum (which existed throughout the entire infinite universe) collapsed, releasing a vast amount of energy and causing that infinite space to suddenly and rapidly expand (the so-called Inflationary Epic).
As the universe expanded and cooled, the energy condensed and formed matter.

that's where Tesla comes in. He was delivering it and the a holes in power back then squashed him. Imagine where we'd be by now if people had supported Tesla instead of disabling him. It truly is a shame and in my opinion where technology went wrong. We still haven't recovered.
I am not challenging the Big Bang theory, but your interpretation of it! According to the Big Bang theory, the Universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state which expanded rapidly. Big Bang theory doesn't deal with what has been before or what caused it. If I am wrong please cite a scientific source.
extraordinary amount of evidence which supports the fact that all the energy in the Universe exploded (exploded isn't really the right term but that's not relevant) from a single point
You stated that you believe. Science is not about what you or anyone else believes!
You didn't even copy the whole sentence.
Nope.
Are you now trying to imply that vacuum energy doesn't exist ..
First of all, I am not choosing to believe into thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is a very basic observable phenomenon at all scales. Second, I am not ignoring the Big Bang theory(see above).
You are choosing to believe in the all mighty theory of thermodynamics yet you are ignoring one the most important theories of all time, the Big Bang Theory.
What? Are we getting into religion now???

Thats all well and good, and Tesla certainly did get screwed over by Edison and more, but to say that he would have solved all our worldly power needs is a bit much, and certainly speculation. I find it hard to believe that with all the brilliant minds out there, no one has been able to put together this free energy machine. We can talk all we want about how they are killed off, silenced or jailed, but in the day of instant information, someone surely would have put out detailed plans onto the internet annoymously.
Hell, why doesnt anonymous or wikileaks find and release this information? Simple. It doesnt exist, and if it did, our current technology may make it prohibitably expensive.

If you guys would just get organized and get some engineers who actually want to try building stuff, and actually test out some of the technologies that already exist, you would have your proof by now....
