Thanks Maui and ZZ. Maui, if the human mind is to participate, at which level (reception, analysis or response)? ZZ, isn't there only one system from one singularity?

If everything came from the same singularity prior to the Big Bang, are we still entangled? If yes could we retrieve information of the whole Universe from one single particle? If not when and how were we de-entangled?

Thanks, for ionized gas I guess it is only the charge being transferred between molecules, and it is not necessary at all for the molecules to move from one plate to another. As for vacuum, I don't understand what slows the electrons down, I suppose a current flows through a wire at near the...

Dear colleagues, If an arc or a spark traveling in vacuum is actually the electrons jumping across vacuum, do they travel at near light speed? From another point of view, devices like thyratrons use ionized gas molecules to conduct electricity, at what speed are those ionized molecules...

thanks cgk, can we indirectly check this by comparing the null point energies in relation to gravitational field strengths?

Just a crazy thought, does a massive body actually reduce baseline quantum fluctuations nearby (compared with the outer space which has much more baseline fluctuations), thus mimicking Casimir effect on a much larger scale and draws things towards a region having a reduced quantum fluctuations...

you need A LOT of photons to generate matter/mass, and in turn you need A LOT of mass to produce measurable gravity. On the other hand I doubt if "something" needs to have the ability to generate gravity before it can be affected by gravity.

thanks Cosmo Novice!

thanks phinds, that is very useful. I always feel uneasy when I hear scientists say "the farther Universe expands faster"----this seemed to commit the same mistake we made centuries ago----placing the Earth at the centre of the Universe. Cheers!

thanks Vorde!

I have two questions about the expansion of the Universe. 1. Why is there no local expansion around us, is local gravitational field strong enough to prevent this? How does the vector of gravity act to prevent expansion in multi-directions? 2. When scientists observe the expanding Universe, and...

thanks gentlemen, when a light photon travels through a distorted spacetime/space, does it "see" the spacetime/space as straight lines? If it does it will curve at ease. If it does not it is probably jumping across spacetime/space lines and insists on its own "straight" path according to its own...

Thank you Passionflower!

If gravity does not act directly on objects, rather it distorts nearby spacetime, objects falling towards a massive object are just following the geometry of the distorted spacetime. Why is light ray not-so-readily following this distorted spacetime? The "straight line" light ray travels should...
