Define raw energy.
Kinetic energy.
Hi NJ. It's been a while since we spoke
Kinetic energy is a rather specific form of energy associated with moving objects defined by the formula 1/2 mass * velocity squared
I'm not so sure there is any such thing as "raw" energy since energy can exist in certain forms and can even be transformed from one to another.
possibly "raw" energy could be defined as "matter" if you really stretch the analogy a long way since matter can be described as solidified energy that can become any other type.
Actually on second thoughts I will stick to my original answer. I don't think 'raw' energy actually exists.
Must admit it sounds good in science fiction though
Yes, you make a very good point. I carry a radiation pager much of the day which is almost always registering some background radiation, especially onshore. And I always get a huge SMAC reading when I board vessels carrying bananas because the large quantity of potassium usually gives a false reading. If his EM wave theory stands up to scrutiny, one would think he'd be going berzerk around bananas.
That's interesting. What kind of radiation does it measure? The only thing I can imagine giving you a hit from potassium on a banana boat would be low energy gamma.
If Petro's theory of EM radiation was correct then that kind of thing wouldn't really effect it since EM is more of a magnetic field than an actual partical as you detect with radiation monitors.
