Falaco Soliton

[soulfly2626]

Is this different from the vortex pairs studied by Kelvin in the 1800's?

[1O6C9LWOU]

@soulfly2626 You might want to try a search for "kelvin vortex pairs" on Google books.

[soulfly2626]

@1O6C9LWOU I was reading "the versitile soliton " (top hit on google books) and its decscription of the vortex pairs and the method of generating them reminded me of this video. Though the books depiction has an open thoat connecting the two vortices are they refering to the same phenomena ?

@soulfly2626 Google "Cartan's Corner".

Here again, who the fuck 'dislikes' a Real video demonstration, what you quasi science fucks just want to watch fake demos from frauds like Hutchison and Searl or the millions of fraud/hack cranks out there? Come on dummo's grab a real education and a fucking brain while you're at it and appreciate Real Science!

[1O6C9LWOU]

@logarithmic7 Thank you :)

[logarithmic7]

@1O6C9LWOU Welcome. Youtube is breeding Tards-a-Plenty and its pissing me off lately. If you wish to delete my comment because I was swearing its ok, I don't mind. I'm just glad to see there are at least some intelligence people making comments on your videos. Cheers eh!

@logarithmic7 i've never seen so many f words in the name of science..

[logarithmic7]

@sidiqmk you say that like its a bad thing? lmao the F words are directed at the quasi science fucks. I'm tired of being lil miss nice girl to people who would message me and say that I know nothing about science and should go back to the kitchen and leave the big thinking up to real men.

Maxwell, whose wave equations tied Electrostatic and Magnetic fields together, at one time believed that Matter was Vorticies in the Aether. Apparently he later abandoned this idea. However, one line of thought now is that matter is only wave functions responding to the laws of light. That Gravity is simply the Refraction of the wave function in the duality of a particle.

Hadn't seen anything like this before; very interesting, makes you wonder what goes on, that is invisible to our eyes.

[1O6C9LWOU]

Check out his paper in the description.

[tom091178]

That looks like an Attractor.

[1O6C9LWOU]

Indeed!

[CaptainSkeebins]

Water Wormholes!

[Rabenmeister]

Oooha, pretty awesome!!!

[TheHunter2008]

a nice experiment. Actually you can do it in a cup of tea either. Just circle the tea with a little spoon and stop the spoon at once and pull it out, then you'll see it! I always do it, but it only lasts for just a few seconds.

Thank you for the video ^^

I saw the pix with 3 pairs, at the Falaco85i.pdf. I wonder is there a limit to the number of pairs?

[sesisco]

nice experiment, thank you.

[Schmoinky]

That's really cool. I wonder if they were insinuating that particles are actually solitons in space-time, which is a really cool idea.

[dibbuck]

That sounds like a bonkers idea - but worthy of thought. I admire your imagination.

[marsCubed]

actually it is what science says particles are, solitons are fundamental wave forms, but in physics their description is modified because we only see them as packets of energy, mathematically they are similar.

[dibbuck]

nah - Particles are described as a linear superposition of harmonic waves - a wave packet. Solitons are a non-linear phenomenon.

[marsCubed]

Strange then that someone I know is working on sending solitons through optical fibres as individual quanta, he is a professor at a Canadian university.

He says the problem is making anti solitons on the tail end or something or else there is collapse, also I see from a quick glance at Google that there are papers proposing the soliton model for particles, I have read the same in newScientist some years ago. although be it not necessarily identical to the classical soliton.

[marsCubed]

you got one cool avatar on your channel BTW, please expand on why the models are incompatible, I might be wrong, this is not my field.

[dibbuck]

Thats interesting. Wavepackets - particles - in linear materials or free space are a linear phenomena and have nothing to do with solitions afaik. But in nonlinear optics you are correct in that these waves do form solitions. How these relate to traditional wavepackets is presently outside my knowledge.

[1O6C9LWOU]

@dibbuck Indeed, these solitons are harmonic and a non-linear phenomena in nature.

coooool...
