For anyone who's knowledgeable about electrical energy, wants to do some research, or would like to bs with me, what is the cause of an electromagnetic field's strength — Enrique
What is the effect of a strong electromagnetic field on the form of matter? — Enrique
Does an electromagnetic field induce the blending of matter waves that would be distinct somehow in its absence? I'm thinking of this topic in the context of voltage potentials across a neuron's membrane, but any application will do. — Enrique
For anyone who's knowledgeable about electrical energy, wants to do some research, or would like to bs with me, what is the cause of an electromagnetic field's strength? Is it density of charged particles, the rate of their motion, voltage as the energy differentials that drive this motion? What is the effect of a strong electromagnetic field on the form of matter?

Electric pulses in the brain are spikey electric potentials caused by positive ions traveling rapidly to and from in ion channels.These autonomously traveling pulses *not caused by an external potential) are the base of thought and emotion. — GraveItty
It has been suggested in experiments that ion channels are receptive to the electromagnetic field of the brain, with firing in neural networks amplified by saturating EM fields so that patterns of ion flow become phase locked across denser swaths of tissue, much more synchronous then they would be via purely chemical effects. Some models propose that specific features of neurons are specialized for receptivity to EM fields. — Enrique
Consider photons as pure potential energy, capable of giving pure kinetic energy to the massive matter particles. — GraveItty
How can a photon be pure potential energy if it moves and exerts force? Wait, I think you already explained this, but some more depth could be good perhaps.
Can you clarify the distinction between real photons of EM radiation and virtual photons of the electric field? — Enrique
Can you describe how each of the quantities in that equation, voltage, amps and ohms, relates in a physical sense to charged particle behavior and electromagnetic fields? — Enrique
If you think of electrons in a conductor as being like water in a pipe, voltage is the pressure it takes to move the electrons. — frank
Then there is no current and you have made a breakthrough in material science.
That's not what I meant though. I mean, voltage can exist without current or resistance. — GraveItty
This was actually one of my introductions to philosophy. I happened to be reading Fear and Trembling while it was on my mind. That book is about potentiality, so my mind was blown — frank
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
