Re: On thought and telepathy
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.

Re: On thought and telepathy
Yes, you're absolutely right. How does "potential energy" work for everyone? Couldn't stored, unspent energy be considered raw energy?
Nope sorry.
Potential energy has already been taken too, in two versions no less.... (that I can think of)
Chemical potential energy such as the battery mentioned by Wounded King and good old plain Potential energy which is most often used to describe the potential for an object to fall toward a center of gravity. i.e. holding a bowling ball up in the air
I still like "raw" energy best. It just sounds soooo ... RAW and powerful doesn't it.
PS I knew there was a reason I don't like boats
And to think, I work in a Nuclear reactor too.....
