The article mentions they're difficult to detect. 8 hours ago, Alchopwn said: I can see how you might have misinterpreted what I put down as being more woo than it was intended. All I wanted to imply is that we have some tentative science regarding the ideas of wormholes, and this sort of phenomenon might be relevant to it if wormholes actually exist. The article has nothing to do with wormholes, it's difficult to even call them portals as all they are is magnetic fields connecting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they’re magnetic, a simple compass would detect them. Alternatively, due to thermal transfer depending on wether or not the connected locale is colder or warmer than where you are “now” you’d be able to detect the temperature differential. Also, every man and their dog now possess devices to take photos that are location and time stamped (location and time defined by connection to orbital satellites). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AKA "Big Rip") Thats if your understanding of spacetime is complete. 'tear' assumes spacetime is like a fabric and a tear would make a 'hole' in it which would keep on going - like a ladder in a stocking. That is a rather simplistic view of what I suspect is quite a complex subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost hunters often report a drop in temperature in an area they consider a 'ghost' to be. So, could this be a portal which is being used by the ghost to manifest perhaps?

Alchopwn Posted February 24, 2020 #59 Share Posted February 24, 2020 12 hours ago, Tuco's Gas said: The hypothesis of "connective magnetic pathways" between earth and sun, used to enable ET spacecraft travel is bad science. If such a conduit existed (it doesn't) then the craft's own magnetic field would repel the ions in the magnetic path, thus denigrating and not enhancing propulsion. And if the skin of the craft was a non-conductive material, then any alleged magnetic aid would not be available anyway. (Sorry if I sound nitpicky, I'm an electricity/electrodynamics nerd.) Just my dos centavos. Fair enough. 4 hours ago, Rlyeh said: The article has nothing to do with wormholes, it's difficult to even call them portals as all they are is magnetic fields connecting. I agree, the article doesn't refer to wormholes by name, but research has been done on creating magnetic wormholes that seemed to bear fruit. While we have, as yet, no evidence of this happening in nature, we as a species are only taking our first tentative steps in this area of science. Just because we can't put it in a bell jar, doesn't mean it's impossible. I don't seriously think that the Solar magnetic pathways from the original article constitute a portal, but it does indicate a naturally occurring phenomenon that is a bit like a wormhole, in that it is subatomic and creates an assisted pathway for rapid transfer of energy across considerable distances. I was only making a claim for a similarity of process, though in retrospect I didn't properly explain my position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would suggest such portals are opened by harmonic frequencies that an active dryer matches just enough to open a small portal, not big enough to snag something like a pair of a Reg Grundy’s but roughly sock sized. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted February 25, 2020 #72 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Suppose these portals exist. An object entering them has a velocity and momentum and mass. If the portal connects two different latitudes then there is a problem. The Earth at the equator turns at 1000mph. At the poles the Earth turns at 0. Starting to see the problem? If nothing but air passed through then there would be winds of say 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 mph. Birds and whatever would be shredded by these winds. Has a plane been inexplicably blasted to pieces by such a portal event? Has the sound of this wind ever been heard? Has doppler radar ever caught such an event? Has any astronomer ever noticed that the image that was collected contained the wrong stars seen through the portal? People want to have BF or whatever stepping through a portal. Why should a portal take an entire object? Why doesn't the portal close up and leave half a person, half a plane, half a BF, etc. behind. This idea of portals is ridiculous. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
