"Tomorrow", like Bogie suggested, is the preferred answer since it refers to a specific day of the week, whereas "24 hours" or such don't—and also wouldn't be true on 2 certain days of the year that don't have 24 hours in them.
Answers: 1. October (one of its days, the day we set out clocks back, has 25 hours). 2. Right where you left him. 3. ‘w’ can be left out and denoted by two ‘u’s. 4. The lion. 5. Throw it up in the air. 6. They are alive. One walked and carried the other to the edge of the cliff, then the other walked backwards away from the cliff carrying the first walker. 7. 12 (the second of each month). 8. You. 9. Tomorrow. 10. They were two skunks on the ark that Noah couldn’t take the smell of. 11. It is on Mars. 12. A walk. 13. “I do.” You may get twenty years to life. 14. Two, one on each side. 15. None, Noah had the ark, not Moses.
Lloyd, I said I would look into low-temp experiments more and came across the following I thought might interest you. I'm thinking that superconductivity is universal at near-zero temperatures and wondered if you would support that, if all materials can be considered ferrimagnetic.
--------------------------------------------
Argyris proposed that the hypothesised gravity particle, the graviton, might have mass, rather than being massless as traditional theories of quantum gravity had assumed.
Argyris's idea piqued de Matos and Tajmar's interest because of the parallel with the normally massless photon, which inside a superconductor develops a mass when the temperature drops below the critical temperature and the substance becomes superconducting. Tajmar and de Matos wondered what would happen if the gravitons inside a superconductor behaved like photons and gained mass as well.
Their calculations showed that the more massive the graviton becomes in a superconductor, the stronger the gravitomagnetic field becomes when the material's rotation speeds up. In turn, that should increase the magnetic field by altering the movement of the Cooper pairs. Could that explain Tate's measurement? To fit her findings, de Matos and Tajmar found they had to set the graviton mass to be 10-54 kilograms (Physica C, vol 432, p 167). By comparison, an electron's mass is about 10-30 kilograms. Although that makes the graviton sound like a lightweight, it would give superconductors a gravitomagnetic force 17 orders of magnitude greater than that produced by normal matter.
At that level, they realised, it should be possible to measure the field in a laboratory. So they designed an experiment to test the idea, and built it with funding from the US air force and the European Space Agency. Last year Tajmar's team began to look for evidence of their extraordinary prediction - not really expecting to find it. They set a ring of superconducting niobium spinning, and positioned accelerometers around the ring. Any gravitomagnetic field produced by the spinning superconductor should tug on these sensors.
Initially, they ran tests at room temperature, where niobium is not superconducting, and saw no anomalous readings. That was expected, consistent with the immeasurably tiny field predicted by general relativity. Then as they dropped the temperature, Cooper pairs formed in the niobium and it lost its electrical resistance. Suddenly the accelerometers produced a signal. It was exactly as they hoped: as soon as the niobium became superconducting, the instruments appeared to feel a strong gravitomagnetic field pulling on them (www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0603033).
It seemed too good to be true. Tajmar's team knew how heretical such a large gravitomagnetic field would seem to other physicists (see "The attraction of gravity"). So they began running their experiment time and time again, looking for any hint of instrumental problems that might be fooling them. Next, they swapped the niobium for other superconducting materials, making predictions about the gravitomagnetic field they expected from each. They included extra sensors to improve the accuracy of their results and added two laser gyroscopes to their set-up to best measure the twist (www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0610015). Every time, the experiment gave them the right answers.
After 250 runs, they began to believe that perhaps the signals were real after all. It seemed they had found a way to generate a large gravitomagnetic field unanticipated by Einstein or anyone else. They have submitted a paper to the journal Physica C and have been attending conferences to talk about their work - and met a sceptical response. James Overduin, a theorist from Stanford University is doubtful about the claims. He points to the remarkable strength of the supposed gravitomagnetic field. "Seventeen orders of magnitude is not to be sniffed at." At that strength, says Overduin, we would expect to see gravitomagnetic effects throughout the cosmos. To make the graviton massive would limit the distance it can travel, and since all astronomical observations suggest that gravity travels the entire breadth of the universe, there is a big conflict to resolve.
I was driving all night through Pennsylvania while listening to all ten hours of my songs playing as mp3s and thinking of being, for I had been working on a “Being” pyramid of Matter-Space, Past & Future.
I saw no one on the road for hours and sped up to 85-90 just to see and pass someone. I was alone, but not lonely, for I had my thoughts. Coleman barks was speaking a translation of Rumi called “This we have now”, in which some inanimate things all “wanted” some of “this” and I thought I could use it to start a “Being” video to celebrate life and (human) being.
Perhaps consciousness is like the screen upon which our living film plays out as being—all that we have become after 13.7 billions years, some sit-com people excepted. Well, it sure took a long time for us to arrive (“Nessum Dorma”—They are sleeping) and Meat Loaf agreed in “We should have been home by now”. Well, the dinosaurs came and went and so we finally had an opening to arrive (due to the asteroids? What luck!) just as Cirque du Soleil sang about the spark of life in “Allegria”.
We evolved from almost nothing, just some tiny bits of matter in motion from the “fundamental” forces. We often see past what should be most familiar to us—our consciousness and being therein—sometimes not even noting the sea in which we see.
So, I made some new footage and stitched in some other stuff later on in which I speak about the “now”—all to celebrate “Life and (Human) Being” and to inspire the viewers:
