well

2019-10-11 03:37:42 UTC  

What is Snell's law

2019-10-11 03:37:47 UTC  

i dont think sunrazor is making up theories on the spot

2019-10-11 03:37:49 UTC  

he's referencing them

2019-10-11 03:37:53 UTC  

And why does it sound so much like snails law

2019-10-11 03:37:57 UTC  

he makes it clear when he is speculating

2019-10-11 03:38:07 UTC  

The singularity then is where the permittivity approaches inifity (unbounded)

2019-10-11 03:38:32 UTC  

Snell's Law: sin(t1)/sin(t2) = v1/v2

2019-10-11 03:38:34 UTC  

Oh yeah are you just making this up are you fr ing rn

2019-10-11 03:38:35 UTC  

where v is the speed of light

2019-10-11 03:38:49 UTC  

Well yeah. He’s referencing other theories so I h ave a better idea of what he’s talking about

2019-10-11 03:38:53 UTC  

and t is the incident angle

2019-10-11 03:39:05 UTC  

Snell's law

a law stating that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction of a wave are constant when it passes between two given media.

2019-10-11 03:39:06 UTC  

But he has his own

2019-10-11 03:39:20 UTC  

everyone has their own ideas and biases

2019-10-11 03:39:30 UTC  

Yea...

2019-10-11 03:39:51 UTC  

there's always something that we don't know about...curiosity will drive us to make our own conclusions about what those unknown things are

2019-10-11 03:40:03 UTC  

Perhaps

2019-10-11 03:40:11 UTC  

Ok lol

2019-10-11 03:40:37 UTC  

the second most passive aggressive message you can send

2019-10-11 03:40:40 UTC  

second to 'k'

2019-10-11 03:40:46 UTC  

@SunRazor your theory still needs some work ❤

2019-10-11 03:40:53 UTC  

I totally agree

2019-10-11 03:40:54 UTC  

k

2019-10-11 03:41:40 UTC  

It's been in ``needs some work`` status for the last 10 years, or whenever I first started putting these together

2019-10-11 03:42:26 UTC  

Why that particular idea?

2019-10-11 03:42:40 UTC  

it kind of evolved that way

2019-10-11 03:42:46 UTC  

That’s a lot of work for something that untestable

2019-10-11 03:43:40 UTC  

it all started with curiosity of what would happen if I placed an open-dielectric parallel-plate capacitor at the surface of water (assuming the water is not conductive)

2019-10-11 03:44:08 UTC  

I was interested in how the presence of water between the plates would affect the stored energy of the capacitor

2019-10-11 03:44:34 UTC  

if the charge is kept constant

2019-10-11 03:44:38 UTC  

wait what's your theory here?

2019-10-11 03:44:59 UTC  

space is flat, gravity is a gradient in the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum

2019-10-11 03:45:10 UTC  

that's the theory

2019-10-11 03:45:24 UTC  

I mean that's the claim

2019-10-11 03:45:45 UTC  

gravity being a gradient? that's...interesting

2019-10-11 03:45:48 UTC  

water has a dielectric constant of about 81

2019-10-11 03:46:08 UTC  

so if you kept the charge on the plates constant, and filled the space with water

2019-10-11 03:46:13 UTC  

do you know what happens to the energy?

2019-10-11 03:46:24 UTC  

it goes down

2019-10-11 03:46:31 UTC  

there is a loss of potential energy
