At the heart of matter... is glue, or rather gluons binding the quarks that make up protons and neutrons which make up all physical matter. The glue of the gluons is called the strong nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe and the strongest of them all. The weakest is the force of gravitation, which is a great glue that connects and binds all the physical objects of the universe, orchestrating the grand symphony of the galaxies. Glue is everywhere, without glue we are nowhere. Glue is that substance which keeps things from falling apart, and as such becomes the ultimate metaphor for God, that supreme force which ever upholds the integrity of existence.

This blog is a little homage to the God of glue, who is simply a metaphor for the endless creativity of our wonderful, adhesive and cohesive universe, which is simply a manifestation of the infinite wisdom of the Godhead, which is simply the head of God's being — this being being none other than this infinitely wonderful universe, which nonetheless could simply be a dream in the mind of God! A slightly sticky situation there! Got glue?


Faraday’s Force Fields

 

Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel

— Michio Kaku—

(Chapter 1: Force Fields)

 

 

 

 

In science fiction, a force field is deceptively simple: a thin, invisible yet impenetrable barrier able to deflect lasers and rockets alike.

 

 

 

In the same way that Edison's lightbulb revolutionized modern civilization, a force field could profoundly affect every aspect of our lives.

 

 

 

Bridges, superhighways, and roads could in theory be built by simply pressing a button. Entire cities could sprout instantly in the desert, with skyscrapers made entirely of force fields.

 

 

 

The concept of force fields originates from the work of the great nineteenth-century British scientist Michael Faraday.         

 

 

 

 

The young Faraday was fascinated by the enormous breakthroughs in uncovering the mysterious properties of two new forces: electricity and magnetism.

 

 

 

 

Faraday made a series of stunning breakthroughs that led to the creation of generators that would energize entire cities and change the course of world civilization — the key to Faraday's greatest discoveries was his "force fields."

 

 

 

 

If one places iron filings over a magnet, one finds that the iron filings create a spiderweb-like pattern that fills up all space. These are Faraday's lines of force, which graphically describe how the force fields of electricity and magnetism permeate space.

 

 

 

 

Empty space, to Faraday, was not empty at all, but was filled with lines of force that could make distant objects move.

 

 

 

 

One day in 1831, Faraday made the key breakthrough when he was moving a child's magnet over a coil of wire, without ever touching it. This meant that a magnet's invisible field could push electrons in a wire across empty space, creating a current.

 

 

 

 

Faraday's "force fields" which were previously thought to be useless, idle doodlings, were real, material forces that could move objects and generate power.

 

 

 

 

Force fields of Michael Faraday are the forces that drive modern civilization, from electric bulldozers to today's computers, Internet, and iPods.

 

 

 

 

Faraday's force fields have been an inspiration for physicists for a century and a half. Einstein was so inspired by them that he wrote his theory of gravity in terms of force fields.

  1. Hi friends i just want to use this opportunity to thank this great loan officer Mr Ben Lee who helped me with a loan i was very in need of $7,000,000.00 USD so i was introduce to Mr Ben Lee a loan officer so i contacted his email and i got the loan amount of $7,000,000.00 USD  i will advice anyone who is in need of a loan to contact email: 247officedept@gmail.com Or you can whatsapp his via  +1-989-394-3740.
