Who Shot Vincent Nigel Murray?

Image
Who shot my favourite squint  Vincent   Nigel-Murray: it can't have been who we think it was, Jacob Broadsky. The scene at 2:10 minutes is impossible: glass is opaque to infrared heat radiation, making it impossible for an Infrared camera to see through it. Any squint would know that. Verify my claim yourself: watch this clip -

Tree growth acceleration explanation fractal

Image
Update 2014 10 01 I have published at academia.edu Fractal Geometry a Possible Explanation to the Accelerating Growth Rate of Trees Original entry: ".. most species mass growth rate increases continuously with tree size.": Nature.com A recent podcast interview on Radio New Zealand 'Nights' (see below) between host Bryan Crump and Ecologist Professor Mark Harmon on the topic of trees' accelerating growth rate caught my attention. At the moment, I am writing a publication on expansion and the fractal (fractspansion), and I have used trees as an analogy and example in my paper to explain what I believe to be the dark energy in the accelerating expansion of the observable universe. Even if I could not find proof of my finding that tree growth also accelerated, I stuck with trees, and now I hear this – wow, supporting evidence! It is no coincidence that both trees and the universe expand exponentially - all things fractal do. I just have to prove the universe ...

The Gassy Messenger: the magic of IR thermopiles

Image
I have now published my updated theory of the atmosphere.  Augmenting 19th Century Thermoelectric Greenhouse Theory with 20th Century Quantum Mechanics Raman Spectroscopy: Towards a Coherent Radiation Theory of the Atmosphere Update: 22,04,2015 I have recently (and finally) published: Reinterpreting and Augmenting John Tyndall’s 1859 Greenhouse Gas Experiment with Thermoelectric Theory and Raman Spectroscopy  at: academia.edu/  and http://vixra.org/abs/1504.0165  . Here is a youtube presentation of my findings: Abstract Climate science's fundamental premise – assumed by all parties in the great climate debate – says the greenhouse gases – constituting less than 2% of Earth’s atmosphere, first derived by John Tyndall in his 1859 thermopile experiment and demonstrated graphically today by infrared IR spectroscopy – are special because of their IR (heat) absorbing property. From this, it is – paradoxically – assumed the (remaining 98%) ...

The gassy messenger: N2 and O2 are also greenhouse gases

Update May 2015 I have recently (and finally) published my findings: Reinterpreting and Augmenting John Tyndall’s 1859 Greenhouse Gas Experiment with Thermoelectric Theory and Raman Spectroscopy  at:  academia.edu/   and  http://vixra.org/abs/1504.0165   . Abstract Climate science's fundamental premise – assumed by all parties in the great climate debate – says the greenhouse gases – constituting less than 2% of Earth’s atmosphere, first derived by John Tyndall in his 1859 thermopile experiment and demonstrated graphically today by infrared spectroscopy – are unique because of their IR (heat) absorbing property. From this, it is – paradoxically – assumed the (remaining 98%) non-greenhouse gases N 2  nitrogen and O 2  oxygen are non-heat absorbent. This paper reveals, by elementary physics, the (deceptive) role thermopiles play in this paradox . It was found that for a speci...

The 'Dark' Climate and its 'Dark' Gases

There is a climate paradox: modern greenhouse climate theory states or infers that 98% of gases (nitrogen and oxygen) have no thermal role in the atmosphere. All thermal activity is due to the 2% greenhouse gases. I have termed this paradox the Dark Climate or the Dark Gases. I have continued this entry at: http://www.fractalnomics.com/2013/12/the-gassy-messenger-magic-of-ir.html   See you there.

The Denomination Standard: regularity in money through time and place

Image
The Denomination Standard (as opposed to the 'gold standard'): regularity in currency through time and place. A unit of gold is said to (give and take a little) buy the same good through time - hence the gold standard. My hypothesis is: does the denomination 'size' of fiat money (currency) buy the same goods (as opposed to the nominal size, which will differ from time to time, place to place).  How many of the lowest paper notes does it take to buy 'x' good - my case a big mac. In the developed world, it generally costs around 2 of the lowest denomination notes for a McDonald's Big Mac (2012). Of course, the amount grows the less developed the country - Sri Lanka 29. A 'standard note' (thank you to my student Paul) may stand like a 'standing wave' over time and place; nominal prices will flow (rise) through it. Difficult to find a standard good, and there are lag times, of course, as notes stay in circulation for some time in stable e...
