Energy of Photon

A photon is characterized by either a wavelength, denoted by λ or equivalently an energy, denoted by E. There is an inverse relationship between the energy of a photon (E) and the wavelength of the light (λ) given by the equation:

Planck Units

Planck units are largely based upon three fundamental units, h, G, and c.

The gravitational constant is given the symbol "G".   It is a measured value used in the force equation for gravity (see below). F = Gm1m2 / r2 The m units are masses of two bodies which are separated by a distance r.   By rearranging the equation, we have G (see below). G = Fr2 / m1m2 The gravitational force, F, was measured between two masses to arrive at G.   At various times, the laboratory equipment and methods were improved to arrive at more accurate values for G.   The physics texts were not usually updated for the new values because (1) the changes were not great enough to justify the added expense to the texts, and (2) the changes were happening frequently enough to make each text obsolete before it arrived in the hands of students.   Consequently, there are numerous variations of G to be found, but the differences between them are slight. There are many systems of weights and measures used in physics.   Fundamental constants such as G often have two values according to the measuring system used.   When two such units are mixed to arrive at subsidiary units such as the planck length, the result is a completely erroneous value along with units of measure which do not apply.   Consequently, it is important to convert the various units of the fundamental constants used to the same system of units.   In may instances of late, this has not been done. Finally, there is human error involved in copying from an old text to create a new next.   This means that it is wise to check various texts to see if they all agree (they usually don't), and decide what is correct and what is not correct.   For G, the following was discovered.

 In three hundred years mankind is consuming the fossil fuel energy that took nature three billion years to produce.

Water is a polar molecule which means that one side of the molecule is more positively charged while the other side is more negatively charged. The result of this charge differential is an attraction between molecules making water a much more complex substance than mainstream science (Quantum Physics, etc.) has ever given it credit for! It is this attractive force between water molecules which causes water to form droplets rather than a molecular mist. These attractive forces also result in clusters of water molecules in nature which are very sensitive to environmental conditions. In nature, if we observe water closely we see (as it does flowing down a drain) it move in circular paths in order to maintain a high energy or frequency state. Molecular spin is an important factor when considering the polar attraction between water molecules; it makes common sense that faster molecular spin will decrease this molecular attraction and consistent or resonant molecular spin may have an ordering or structuring effect. Municipal water systems utilize straight pipes which carry water long distances under high pressures dampening the molecular spin of water causing much larger clusters of molecules locking up the hydration power of water! This can be measured as surface tension. Natural spring water is considered "living water" due to the high frequency molecular spin and the vibrancy of nature.

Regulatory Changes by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

FERC Orders 888 and 889

On April 24, 1996, FERC issued Orders 888 and 889, which encourage wholesale competition.  The primary objective of these orders is the elimination of monopoly power over the transmission of electricity.  To achieve this objective, FERC requires all public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for transmitting electric energy in interstate commerce to: file open access nondiscriminatory transmission tariffs containing minimum terms and conditions, take transmission service (including ancillary services) for their own new wholesale sales and purchases of electricity under open access tariffs, develop and maintain a same-time information system that will give existing and potential  users the same access to transmission information that the public utility enjoys, and separate the transmission from generating and marketing functions and communications.

Magnetic pressure

Magnetic pressure is an energy density associated with the magnetic field.

Interplay between magnetic pressure and ordinary gas pressure is important to both the fields of magnetohydrodynamics and plasma physics. Any magnetic field has an associated pressure that is contained by the boundary conditions on the field, and a gradient in field strength causes a force due to the magnetic pressure gradient; this force is called the magnetic pressure force.

Gravitational waves are generated by accelerating masses. So, our planet, which is constantly accelerating towards the sun, is sending out a constant stream of gravitational waves. Just really small ones. Likewise, colliding neutron stars will emit a strong burst of gravitational waves. How strong? Well, if the stars were on the other side of our galaxy, a one meter bar on Earth would elongate by about 0.1am (attometer = 10-18m).

In a light field, the amplitude (a measure of the brightness of the light) and the phase (which controls how to combine light fields) can't both be measured with absolute accuracy—even if you had the perfect measuring device. You can picture the problem as bunches of photons popping into and out of existence, causing the phase and amplitude of the of the light to jitter around. This doesn't add or subtract energy, but it does continuously redistributes the energy along the light beam.

Physicists confirm surprisingly small proton radius

In the experiment described in the newly published Science article, the energy shift was determined for another transition. This leads to a new measurement of the electric charge radius of the proton. Its value of 0.84087(39) femtometres (1 fm = 0.000 000 000 000 001 metre) is in good agreement with the one published in 2010, but 1.7 times as precise.

GE’s Brand New 100W Equivalent LED Bulb Illuminates the Future of Lighting May 7, 2012 Engineers at GE’s NELA Park in East Cleveland, Ohio, have spent a century building better light bulbs. When NELA opened in 1911, it became the world’s first industrial park, a distinction that earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places. But now a new kind of history is taking place at NELA, the kind that will soon dispatch the incandescent light bulb down the same road traveled by the LP and the VCR. “This is an evolution,” says Glenn Kuenzler, a lighting engineer at NELA. He and his team of researchers are making sure that the GE bulb, whose legacy stretches back to Edison, is fit to survive.

Throughout the universe more than 99 percent of matter looks nothing like what's on Earth.

This material that pervades the universe, making up the stars and our sun, and also – far less densely, of course – the vast interstellar spaces in between, is called plasma. Plasmas are similar to gases, and indeed are made of familiar stuff such as hydrogen, helium, and even heavier elements like iron, but each particle carries electrical charge and the particles tend to move together as they do in a fluid.

"Which particles are moving, what is the source of energy for the motion, how does a moving wave interact with the particles themselves, do the wave fields rotate to the right or to the left – all of these get classified," says Lynn Wilson who is a space plasma physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
