Do Black Holes really Exist?

[sooey]

Of course they would, that's what happens in an earthquake. They spread out all over the floor, with you under them.

Thats correct- its what allows X rays, microwaves etc to pass through seemingly solid objects, as they wavelength of the "ray" or wave is so small they dont hit anything on the way through.

I'll have to do something about the atoms in our internal wall. I keep losing connection to our wireless router! Do you think if I gave them a bit of a shake they'd spread out a bit?

No, you have to locate a miniature black hole in your wall, it might just be 1 atom thick! it is this that is swallowing all your electromagnetic waves from your wireless router reaching your pc, fill it up with some polyfilla! Then you will get a stronger signal. (This is what I call a Real DIYnot )

I am sure you can't go on gobbling everything that comes your way, talking about black holes, how much matter can it carry on gobbling, there must come an end to all things in life as it does, so surely one day a black hole would explode with a mighty bang that we would see it first and feel its ripping force many months or even years later we all go with a bang same as we all came here with a bang!

A couple of very helpful suggestions there.

I'll order a black hole detector from Maplin and, whilst I'm waiting for delivery, I'll bash the wall a bit with a sledge hammer.

Many thanks. I'm sure that will sort it.

well believe it or not, electromagnetic waves somehow interact not only with ferrous and non-ferrous materials, but also appear to bounce off buildings made of sand and cement, bricks, and iron used in buildings. so what have you got in your walls that attenuates the signal strength?

Not only that, in the old days we had to rely on satosphere to help bounce short wave radio waves to be able to transmit signals around the globe, perhaps your antenna is pointing in the wrong direction.

A small helpful tip, on the antenna of your router, wrap a few turns (like say between 5 to 10 turns of insulated single core wire, or any wire for that matter, and have it suspended in the room and possibly across, this should radiate a little more power than before and hopefully your black spot will vanish and you might get better signal.

My sentiments eggsaktly!! I've been saying all along that we don't need a god!!

Thanks Vymer, very interesting man, I always respect those who can do software programing, I am into electronics and I am hardware engineer and my weakness has always been software as you would know old folks like me who went into electronics when things spun around 7400 and cmos logic gates, things have moved on so much and now I do nothing but curse all appliances which now use microprocessors.

Take an example yesterday a friend's Renault people carrier had one of its wipers failed to swipe the screen so he asked me if I could shed some light on it, it uses two separate wiper motors each swiping the screen with its own motor, now, there are no links and the system runs such that there is no mechanical reciprocating mechanism between the two wiper arms, or even inside each of the motor/gearboxes, so that means, each motor must move or swipe the wiper arms in unison, so that arms don't get tangled with one another, so they have a wire synchronisation, as well each motor/gearbox wheel turns a few degrees and hits mechanical stop, such that motor must start to reverse its spinning direction, hence it is controlled by a microprocessor!

I just can't think why why why people need to make things so complicated and sophisticated that their reliability is zilch!

Now that motor/gearbox I took apart only to find out it has a fairly large PCB with about 5 smt chips with hundreds of pins! totally crazy really, I could have done that electrical synchronization using TTL or CMOS chips, and it would have been far more reliable as you would never get the programme corrupted, so basically the motor is not burnt but it is not responding to commands any more!

Yes there are some devices that uses a lot of CMPS chip count that can be cut down to a few, this is where software engineering comes into its own, like all modern Fire alarm and burglar alarms are software driven that cuts down on installation wiring, as the main panels communicates with each device through a serial id, and you only ever need to run each device on just two wire throughout!

So may be one day who knows you could write me a small software programme to control some model devices That i have in mind.

As I was saying on Sombreo's post.

This is far to long.

Hands up if you have actually read this lot.

Sorry MfL

Yes, of course. A hypothesis comes first, then you formulate a theory to attempt to explain it. Then you seek to prove it.

Nearly, but you can't prove a theory, but you can disprove it!! PITA this science marlarky.

My sentiments eggsaktly!! I've been saying all along that we don't need a god!!

I see your point, it has often been my point, but I am not ready yet to shed God, I have my doubts about him, and then I have my doubts about my doubts, then I think it is beyond not just mine but even the best of the scientist's comprehension, I mean we don't even know much about our own self and we still can't fight cancer and HIV, and baldness! and we managed to invent a pretty unimportant medicine called Viagra ! oh I just recalled it was discovered accidently, it was meant as a blood pressure control drug and it ended up giving guinea pigs erection!

Well certainly parts of the electromagnetic spectrum bounce off buildings. Visible light, for example. Seriously, though, my walls are made of all of the above, except iron, but also some plaster, a bit of wallpaper and a hint of paint.

Not only that, in the old days we had to rely on satosphere to help bounce short wave radio waves to be able to transmit signals around the globe, perhaps your antenna is pointing in the wrong direction.

I think some people still do, despite these trendy modern satellite things. As for my antenna, I haven't a clue as it's inside the router and I'm not allowed to take it to bits to have a look. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it doesn't transmit short wave so no point in trying to bounce the waves anywhere.

A small helpful tip, on the antenna of your router, wrap a few turns (like say between 5 to 10 turns of insulated single core wire, or any wire for that matter, and have it suspended in the room and possibly across, this should radiate a little more power than before and hopefully your black spot will vanish and you might get better signal.

Again, I'd be willing to try this if I knew where the antenna was. My wife, however, might use any wire thus suspended to suspend me by the neck.

Thanks for the advice, though.

Interestingly, I did try a metallic 'reflector' (I seem to remember it was cooking foil) behind my previous router which did have an external aerial. It didn't make any difference!

here is a good reason why you can't see God or Black holes, simply because when they realise you are trying to see them, they behave differently and disappear. yup, just like that, oh ya but they do sure exist.

Watch this quantum video right till the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc That Dr Quantum reminds me of sooey.

Hello, Mike.

That has been contently solved with the probability factor, not to mention complex physics explaining interaction and observation effects on surroundings.

It's a fun element of science.
