Now I've posted this a week ago in alt.philosophy.debate, but no one seems
to care enough to react. Could someone please confirm my "theory"? Thank
you.
(start of post)
Instead of postulating some brand new verbal particles here, like the
spaton, which, analogous to the graviton, is associated with the phenomening
of space, as related to ALL force field types, which, of course, would be
ridiculous, let's do something difficult like global warming.
Global warming is expected to be up to 7 degrees centigrade, they say. This
will cause oceans to evaporate and fish to become extinct and what more
besides the second coming. Meanwhile, we would be looking for more energy
resources to do what, of all things, heat up the technical living room?
All sorts of calculations proof our planet to be plunging into an eon of
disaster with the concept of life itself being seriously at risk. Well, my
calculations seem to prove a number of other things that could be worth
contemplating when further sucking into the solar/global energy supplies
that are, still, available to us, and we to them.
We seem to be particularly satisfied with new "clean" energy resources that
are provided by wind and water, like for instance the ocean tides, and since
the beginning of these developments I have been wondering what source(s) of
energy these "generation" methods are eventually actually addressing. And
I've come up with the quite extroadinary finding that it would be the
earth's rotation.
Since the forming of the earth it has been significantly slowing down in
turning with a current rate of about 10 hours per day per billion years,
which means that in 1 billion years from now the day will last 34 hours. Now
the earth's rotation is an energy resource that is contained in the
earth/moon system, and some of this energy is contained in solid material,
which is 99% found in the moon, since 99% of the earth is either fluid of
gaseous.
Now the trouble with fluids and gasses in a rotating system is that they
store part of the rotation energy in a fly-wheel like manner, and that their
movements that, at the micro level, that is our level, seem to be completely
random are, in fact, at the macro level, part of the rotation system as a
whole, and that it is eventually impossible to determine which part of their
movements, that is, their kinetic energy, are actually random and which are
part of the rotation system.
So when you drain energy from the movements in the outer layers of the
earth, which are first liquid and than gasseous, you would in fact be
inadvertantly tapping into the earth's rotation energy, which means the
earth's rotation would slow down at an accelerated rate, which would be
measurable by monitoring the length of the siderial day which, if the
calculations would prove correct, would then become longer faster than
before.
Is this a problem? Well, in the earth's history it seems to have survived a
number of extinction waves related with temperature changes of 15 degrees
and more pretty well. On the other hand, the earth's magnetic field, which
is closely related to its rate of rotation, and which is. putting it mildly,
a very unstable phenomenon, that changes polarity from time to time and is
in clear and present danger of disappearing alltogether, we only have to
look at our planetary neighbour to see what would happen if it actually did
disappear.
On Mars, due to the disappearance of its magnetic field several billions of
years ago, all oceans have evaporated and the historical existence life on
it can only be theoretically assumed on the nanometer level.
So my advise would be to use up all fossil fuel to make the world as warm as
possible while we still have the control of it, so that we have as little
use as possible for fuel to heat our homes, which is the primary purpose of
energy to man, not least since we have just come from surviving two million
years of excessive cold in the northern hemisphere, due to the joining of
North and South America two million years ago, and a rise in global
temperature of, let's say, 7 degrees centigrade could well prove to be a
welcome and pleasant change in the geologically recent metereological
predicamet we have been facing, blue-eyed or not. |
