Hi there. I was very surprised and happy about the success of my introduceyourself post https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@claudiop63/portrait-of-an-innovation-addict-my-journey-from-quantum-chromodynamics-to-cryptos-going-through-cern-and-lots-of-other-places
People who read my post expressed an interest to hear more about a number of topics:
- Life and work at CERN,
- Physics stuff: I love to try and make complex concepts understandable,
- Technology transfer examples: from science to the real world,
- Advanced tools, such as ontologies, in the context of technology transfer and business intelligence.
Since to some extent I regard blogging on Steemit as a service to the community, I'd like to know which topic is hottest among those where I have something to say :-)
Thanks for your feedback.
Do you know of any research on the human brain's ability to affect external objects, likely at the very small scale? A large part of the brain is unknown and it seems possible that the complex connections in the brain would allow it to receive signals beyond the standard sight and sound, but if we assume this is possible, what about the reverse?
Can the human brain emit some sort of signal or create some sort of field that affects the outside world? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoencephalography indicates that it is indeed happening. But maybe it is possible with training for a lot more than 50,000 neurons to fire under conscious control?
I think that charisma might be something that could be measured
I am not a brain expert, but the human brain is a very complex and specialized system which emits a weak but measurable electromagnetic field. Patterns of brain waves can be measured and correlated to mental activity. The bottomline is that, yes, you can remote control some external objects through your brain waves :-) This IBM-backed project is just one example: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ba-muse-toycar-app/index.html
at first it seems like some hoax, but it does really spin under conscious control. My feeling is that the brain is changing the entropy (or something) in a very localized area and affecting the brownian motion of the air molecules, but I didnt have any equipment to directly measure whatever energy/force was being generated. If the air around the wheel is changed to carbon dioxide, the wheel stops spinning. I did go to a university biomedical lab, which eliminated electromagnetic effect as a possible source. the researcher was baffled. hope someone with quantum physics knowledge can take a serious look at such things as it seems beyond current science to explain it, yet it existsI was thinking more along the lines of an egely wheel http://egelywheel.net/en
I have quantum physics knowledge :-) But before using any knowledge to explain a phenomenon, physicsts need to be convinced that a GENUINE PHENOMENON is taking place...
The "phenomenon", i.e. the result of an experiment, whatever it is, needs to observable at will by ANYBODY who follows a certain experimental protocol, possibly using devices which can be examined by any independent expert upon request...
Example: measuring the motion of an apple falling from a tree at fixed height. This is an experiment demonstrating a phenomenon, as anybody measuring speed, etc, will obtain the same results (within experimental errors), at any time, anywhere on earth.
the egely wheel has variable results for different people. even for the same person at different times. I have found the majority of people are able to spin the wheel at least at a slow rate and once they are convinced they are actually doing it, it speeds up.
belief affecting the phenomenon
It is similar to the observer affecting (instantiating?) the event
I dont think there has been any rigorous scientific study of the egely wheel. Probably due to expense, which is too bad, it appears to be an almost universal "impossible" ability latent in people.
Coming from a science background, it always bothered me that I could never find a proper physics to explain the egely wheel, but there must be an explanation
about your apple experiment, isnt there detectable variance depending on ambient conditions, altitude, distance from center of earth (it is lopsided), etc? So a true model becomes far more complicated if it needs to be precisely duplicatable
Hi! the follow button really should be working soon. anyway, I am really interested n technology transfer, applications and business intelligence. Maybe case studies or particular story that you can share. :-)
I will start soon. .
Aaaaaah! I'm so jealous! I can't believe you work at CERN! I've literally DREAMED about working there since I was a kid, and I love Switzerland as a country! You absolutely have to post about life in Switzerland and working at CERN. I'd love to read about it!
Actually, I no longer work at CERN. But I worked 6 years there and held interesting positions.
I'd like to hear what its like to work at CERN sure. Would be interesting to me, but thats because I could compare it to where I work.
Definitely keep up the content about technical topics coming. I have been publishing some of my past work, and I want to see more technical minds publishing content here. I'm no whale, but you'll have my upvote on any technical things you write about here.
Hi. Basically, the topics I listed. If you want to know in more detail, check my main introduceyourself post (Link above).
