The Fallacy Of Bell Curves

The distribution of kinetic energy in a media is said to be in the form of a bell curve where the molecules have a range of kinetic energy with a peak at the temperature and gradually changing deviations around the peak. This is not the case.

When a medium not gaining energy, the energy (v^2) will quickly be distribute among all the mass by collisions between the molecules, but the masses of objects will remain the same.

In a medium where the masses of molecules are all the same all the molecules will have identical kinetic energy (1/2mv^2).

In a medium containing matter with different masses, like the atmosphere, the gas molecules will have the same velocity (law of conservation of momentum) but different kinetic energy.

Nitrogen molecules will have kinetic energy of 14v^2, oxygen molecules 16v^2, and argon 20v^2.

Since the distribution of the molecules is uniform throughout the air mass, when no energy is added, the temperature reading will be the result of three different units of kinetic energy transferring energy to the thermometer.

This is not a bell curve.

When energy is added, by radiation, the different types of matter, absorbs different wavelengths of energy which results in different kinetic energy for different molecules. The nitrogen and oxygen molecules absorb ultraviolet energy from the sun gaining enough kinetic energy to permeate the atmosphere.

Argon, being a single atom absorbs shorter wavelengths is the x-ray and gamma ray spectrum. Because an argon atom is not much bigger than nitrogen or oxygen atoms, these wavelengths are almost completely absorbed by these elements in the upper atmosphere.

The result is even though argon starts with greater kinetic energy it cannot gain enough energy to get to the higher altitudes and is restricted to the troposphere.

In water where the molecules are all the same, it would be expected that the bell curve would consist of a single line and the wavelength of energy absorbed would only consist of three narrow wavelengths, similar to CO2 with its three atoms.

This is not the case.

Water absorbs a broad range of infrared wavelengths and the explanation for this is that the structure of water changes as it absorbs energy, creating different molecule types of structures that are able to absorb other wavelengths.

It requires 720 calories of energy to convert a gram of 0 C solid water into a gram of 100 C water gas.

Of these 720 calories only 100 appear as increased temperature so if the bell curve of water centered on a temperature of 373 K were accurate, the energy of the upper limit molecules converting to a gas would be equivalent to a temperature of 913 K.

At the other end of the bell curve the temperature of those water molecules would be equivalent to a temperature of -167 K.

There is no negative energy so there is no bell curve.

    That is in direct contradiction to the Molecular Kinetic Theory, the Equipartition Theorem and the Virial Theorem. Perhaps if you stopped fleshing out your odd hobby theory with what sounds intuitive, but which is unphysical, and instead buckled down and cracked a book to study, you’d be able to understand the concept, Herb.

    In point of fact, at the same kinetic temperature, lighter atoms or molecules will have higher velocity; and heavier atoms or molecules will have lower velocity, but at any given kinetic temperature (note that kinetic temperature is different than the layperson ‘temperature’ usually referred to), all atoms and molecules will have the same kinetic energy regardless of their mass.

    The root mean square of the distribution of kinetic temperatures make up the layperson ‘temperature’ usually referred to.

    The Equipartition Theorem equation:
    KE_avg = 3/2 kT

    Now, I’m going to blow all of your blather out of the water yet again, Herb. LOL

    ALL INVARIANT-MASS OBJECTS (regardless of their mass) of a higher kinetic temperature will have higher kinetic energy than objects of a lower kinetic temperature (regardless of their mass)… because that’s how energy works, regardless of the form of the energy.

    I’m sure you can do the calculations now to figure out the kinetic energy of two different atoms or molecules at the same kinetic temperature, to prove to yourself that they’ll have the same kinetic energy regardless of their mass, yes? The only thing that changes between atoms or molecules of differing mass is the velocity of the atom or molecule at any given kinetic temperature, not the kinetic energy, regardless of the mass of the atom or molecule.

    Or, to put it another way:
    All atoms or molecules of the same kinetic temperature will have the same kinetic energy, regardless of mass Lighter atoms or molecules will have higher velocity, heavier atoms or molecules will have lower velocity, but at any given kinetic temperature, they will all have the same kinetic energy.

      Hi LOL@KKK,
      No pun intended, I just like brevity… 😉
      While your interpretation of the theorems may be sound, your displays of calculations are rather silly. Why would you claim the results of any computation, involving a few numbers to be of a “greater accuracy” than the least accurate involved?

        All one is doing when using fewer decimal points is zeroing out trailing digits. That’s not more precise.

        That said, I’ve had kooks in the past declare that if the end result or any of the intermediate calculation steps are rounded by even the slightest, the end result is wrong and therefore they crow that they are right and CAGW stands unmolested. So I use the highest precision numbers I can find for input values and I use the precision of my calculator.

        That has allowed me to arrive at a precision of 3.8 parts per 100 trillion between the stripped-down Stefan-Boltzmann equation:

        Radiant Exitance = (ε c (e_h – e_c)) / 4

        … which shows that the S-B equation is supposed to be properly used by subtracting the energy density of the cooler object from the energy density of the warmer object, the EM field energy density gradient between the two objects determining the radiant exitance of the warmer object…

        … to the full S-B equation:

        = ε σ (T^4_h – T^4_c) A_h

        … which the climastrologists use by subtracting a wholly fictive ‘cooler to warmer’ energy flow from the real (but too high because it was calculated for emission to 0 K) ‘warmer to cooler’ energy flow.

        That’s where their ‘backradiation’ came from, from a misuse of the S-B equation. It’s a mathematical artifact due to misuse of the S-B equation, it doesn’t exist.

        “But they’ve measured it!”, some may cry. Yeah, no.

        https://claesjohnson.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-fool-yourself-with-pyrgeometer.html

        Herb Rose (and you) now try to claim that using higher precision somehow makes it ‘wrong’. It’s not wrong, it’s as precise as the inputs and the calculator allow.

          In fact, we can analogize thermodynamics to electrodynamics… the equations for each are two forms of the same thing, just for different forms of energy.

          Both sets of equations can be derived from the same foundation of classical electromagnetism, showcasing that they are essentially two different forms of energy descriptions, just in different contexts and at different scales.

          So if you have someone who cannot think in terms of energy density, radiation pressure, EM field energy density gradient, radiant exitance, etc., perhaps they might more easily be able to think in terms of voltage, amperage, resistance, etc.

          The circuit simulator:
          https://tinyurl.com/yzo8hak9

          Images of the circuit simulator:
          https://i.imgur.com/JCjwntp.png

          https://i.imgur.com/0n69gYG.png

          You’ll note that the top two circuits in the circuit simulator are how the climate alarmists calculate radiant exitance… (ie: they put each object into its own separate system that doesn’t interact with other objects via the EM field, and they essentially claim all objects emit to 0 K, equivalent in electrical terms to discharging to ground… sometimes with a resistance (the analogy of emissivity) but often not… the Kiehl-Trenberth ‘Earth Energy Balance’ graphic assumes the planet’s surface is emitting to 0 K and has ε = 1… the definition of an idealized blackbody object, which is the only way they could have possibly attained 390 W m-2 surface radiant exitance at 288 K).

          The bottom circuit in the circuit simulator is how reality works… objects interact via the EM field. That interaction through radiation pressure, that radiation energy density gradient, determines radiant exitance of the warmer object.

          So while the climate alarmists claim that there’s no way a photon could possibly ‘know’ the temperature of an object within the photon’s path, it absolutely does ‘know’ because that photon must pass through the EM field (the photon being nothing but a quantum of EM energy; per QFT, a persistent perturbation of the EM field above the average field energy density) between objects, and thus the radiation energy density gradient between objects… and if the EM field energy density gradient is such that the chemical potential of the EM field due to that radiation energy density gradient becomes higher than the chemical potential of the photon from a cooler object, that photon likely won’t even be emitted by the cooler object, and if a photon which is emitted by a cooler object happens to be in the path of a moving, warmer object, it won’t even reach the warmer object… it will be subsumed into the background EM field (there is no law of conservation for photon number).

          https://i.imgur.com/5AUJUKN.png

          So the climastrologists are essentially claiming, in their claim that a cooler atmosphere can warm an already-warmer surface (via radiation emitted by that surface, no less) something analogous to a claim that a capacitor at 1.5 V, electrically connected (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) to a capacitor at 12 V, will do work upon that 12 V capacitor… the 1.5 V capacitor originally being charged to 1.5 V by that 12 V capacitor.

          Common sense and reality says that’s bunkum. LOL

            if the EM field energy density gradient is such that the chemical potential of the EM field due to that radiation energy density gradient becomes higher than the chemical potential of the photon from a cooler object, that photon likely won’t even be emitted by the cooler object,
            JMcG:
            You are confused. Cooler objects do continue to emit photons toward warmer objects and these warmer objects will continue to absorb photons that have been emitted by cooler objects. All the LOTs are saying is that the RATE of warming of the warmer object from the photons of the cooler object will not (cannot possibly be) higher than the rate of cooling that the warmer object is already experiencing. So the cooler object is heating the warmer object. However the cooler object cannot heat the warmer object at a rate that is greater than the rate of cooling that the warmer object is already experiencing.
            Kkook:
            and if a photon which is emitted by a cooler object happens to be in the path of a moving, warmer object, it won’t even reach the warmer object…
            JMcG:
            You are confused. There is no such thing as sentient photons. Photons from cooler objects are absorbed by warmer objects. As I explained above, it’s just that the rate of cooling of the warmer object will be greater than the rate of warming it receives from the cooler object so the warmer object will continue to cool however the rate of it’s cooling will be reduced due to the warming effect from the cooler object.
            So, sorry to burst your bubble, but the lOT’s are not the magic wand that yourself and Postma want them to be.

            And what is temperature a measure of, Jimbo?

            Here’s a hint:
            T = 4^√(e/a)

            Oh, poor ol’ dumb Jimbo, the guy who has to go around telling people he’s a ‘geeneeus’ (because to look at what he writes, he’s got to be profoundly retarded or severely mentally disturbed or both) will never figure it out. LOL

            So in your ‘fantasy fizix’ world, you can just say whatever you want and it’s true; you avoid comprehensively answering questions with mathematical corroboration instead preferring handwavium non-explanations you pull straight from your sun-don’t-shine; and you deny wide swaths of long-established science in favor of demented frothings from the voices in your head… and then you’re genuinely surprised that everyone considers you to be a mental defective.

            Got it. LOL

            You’re the butt of a bad joke, Jimbo… and you’re the only one too dense to realize it. LOL

            “It’s plainly irrational to suggest entropy is a process that can be turned on or off.”

            Ok, you’re claiming that entropy cannot be “turned off” (your words)… so if, as you claim, energy is flowing even at thermodynamic equilibrium, then entropy must be changing at thermodynamic equilibrium, yes?

            ΔS = ΔQ / T, right?

            So you deny 2LoT in the Clausius Statement sense, then. You claim energy can flow without regard to the energy density gradient… did I mention that you’ve already contradicted yourself? LOL

            And you deny the definition of thermodynamic equilibrium as the system reaching a state of quiescence.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equilibrium
            “In thermodynamic equilibrium, there are no net macroscopic flows of matter nor of energy within a system or between systems.”

            Note the wording, Jimbo… “no net macroscopic flows of matter” and NO flow of energy.

            “A collection of matter may be entirely isolated from its surroundings. If it has been left undisturbed for an indefinitely long time, classical thermodynamics postulates that it is in a state in which no changes occur within it, and there are no flows within it.”

            Likewise for a system consisting of more than a single object:
            “A system in a relation of contact equilibrium with another system may thus also be regarded as being in its own state of internal thermodynamic equilibrium.”

            So in order for you to make these claims, you must also claim that radiative energy transfer is an idealized reversible process, Jimbo… except we know it isn’t.

            That’s what trips up the warmists, who use the same exact arguments as you’re using. Whose side are you on, again, Jimbo?

            So you’re just denying everything, contradicting yourself and in the process embarrassing yourself.

            I’ll tell you the same as I told Herb Rose, Jimbo:

            “STFU, buckle down, crack a book and study.”

            You’ve embarrassed yourself online for more than a decade. Don’t you think that’s enough? LOL

            Remember me telling you that the absorption spectra of ice, liquid water and atmospheric water vapor were different because liquid water has quenched rotational mode quantum states, Jimbo, as means of disproving your contention that only liquid water could exist in the atmosphere, your claim that gaseous water could not exist in the atmosphere?

            https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Water_infrared_absorption_coefficient_large.gif
            “Absorption spectrum (attenuation coefficient vs. wavelength) of liquid water (red), atmospheric water vapor (green) and ice (blue line) between 667 nm and 200 μm.”

            That’s why there are three empirically-measured absorption spectra, Jimbo… one for ice, one for liquid water, one for atmospheric water vapor.

            You’re just wrong, Jimbo. On everything. And you attempt the pathetic tactic of denying rotational mode quantum states as some sort of weak ‘defense’ of your indefensible position.

            Entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system, which means it depends on the amount of matter that is present. In equations, the symbol for entropy is the letter S. It has SI units of joules per kelvin (J⋅K−1) or kg⋅m2⋅s−2⋅K−1.

            “There is little translational motion for the water molecules within the interior of the liquid unless they escape from the liquid phase.”

            Poor ol’ dumb Jimbo McGinn not only can’t comprehend what he reads, but he can’t do comparative analysis!

            Let’s see:
            liquid phase – little translational motion
            gaseous phase – moving at hundreds of feet per second

            See the comparison there, Dunce? “Little” is a comparison, so one must ask “to what is it being compared?”.

            Had you any reading comprehension, you would have realize it was being compared to gaseous phase. It’s right there in the sentence, FFS.

            Alas, you’re simply not very bright, so that simple sentence tripped you up. LOL

    In fact, Herb, I’ll just go ahead and do those calculations, to spare you the embarrassment of arguing against reality again. LOL

    At any given kinetic temperature, regardless of atomic or molecular weight, all atoms or molecules will have the same kinetic energy.

    CO2: mass = 44.0095 amu, 7.306961098775001e-26 kg
    40Ar: mass = 39.962383123824 amu, 6.63590925530233e-26 kg

    Assume:
    3 DOF
    T = 287.64 K
    k_B = Boltzmann Constant (1.380649e−23 J·K−1)

    v = √((T DOF k_B) / m)

    CO2: √ 287.64 K * 3 * 1.380649e−23 J·K−1 / 7.306961098775001e-26 kg = 403.7927445130133423714348056539 m/s

    40Ar: √ 287.64 K * 3 * 1.380649e−23 J·K−1 / 6.63590925530233e-26 kg = 423.7177812540082999576147403721 m/s

    KE = 1/2 m v^2

    CO2: 1/2 * 7.306961098775001e-26 kg * 403.7927445130133423714348056539 m/s * 403.7927445130133423714348056539 m/s = 5.9569481753999999999999999999999e-21 J

    40Ar: 1/2 * 6.63590925530233e-26 kg * 423.7177812540082999576147403721 m/s * 423.7177812540082999576147403721 m/s = 5.9569481753999999999999999999999e-21 J

      Hi LOL,
      So what your sayings that the law of conservation of momentum is wrong and when objets with different masses but the same velocity collide the object with morass will transfer mass to the other object to have their kinetic energy be equal. There are no elastic collisions so when an oxygen molecule and a nitrogen molecule with the same velocity the molecular weight of the Nitrogen molecule will increase by 2 and the molecular weight of the oxygen molecule will decreases by two. I assume this transfer of mass is done by an exchange of neutrons between the nucleuses of the atoms. Wouldn’t this produce radioactive air?

      Hi LOL,
      Here’s a hint for you. In reality there are no atoms with the average molecular weight. Every atom (not radioactive) is an integer multiple of the mass of a neutron, so your use of the average molecular weight in any calculations is disconnected from reality.

        I didn’t use the “average molecular weight”, I used the Atomic Mass Unit, which is the exact (to the best precision possible) measure of that particular isotope’s mass. Had you even a scintilla of knowledge on this topic, you’d know that “amu” means Atomic Mass Unit, you’d know what that meant, and you’d not have embarrassed yourself yet again. LOL

          Hi LOL,
          I believe in fission but not fusion or “binding energy”.
          Binding energy is what holds the nucleus of a atom together and when it is too weak the atoms decays. In beta decay an electron and gamma ray are expelled from the nucleus. The gamma ray as well as the expulsion of the electron represents an expenditure (loss) of energy by the binding force. The loss of an electron from the nucleus is also a reduction of something holding the protons together. After the expenditure of things holding the nucleus together a new stable nucleus is formed contains a greater repelling force held together with less energy. You studied long and hard to believe in nonsense.

            Hi LOL,
            You continue to try to make evidence conform to your theories. As more discoveries are made as technology advances your efforts to preserve the orthodoxy is doomed.
            Here’s one you can use your math skills on. Didymos and Dimorphos are binary asteroids where they recently did the. DART experiment trying to deflect an asteroid. By using the speed of Dimorphos and its distance from Didymos you can use Newton’s formula to determine the mass of Didymos (just as the mass of planets were determined). Knowing the speed and mass of the satellite crashed into Dimorphs and its change of speed you can then calculate the mass of Dimorphs and then use that speed and the combined mass of Dimorphos plus the mass of the satellite to determine how much mass Didymos lost due to the addition of the satellite’s mass to Dimorphos.
            Despite what Newton and Einstein say, gravity is not a function of mass.

            Hi LOL,
            The electrons are in the neutron which is in the nucleus.
            According to physics a neutron star radiates energy produced when the electrons and protons of atoms combine to form neutrons. If a neutron is not in a nucleus it will quickly decay into an electron and a proton producing energy as a gamma ray. I guess this means the first law of thermodynamics is incorrect and energy is created as neutrons are created and destroyed. That makes fusion possible where you can split a helium nucleus producing two deuterium nuclei and use the released binding energy to fuse two deuterium nuclei into a helium nucleus, releasing more energy.

            No. That’s a lay simplification. Again, you’re debating someone who’s been formally trained in this field.

            An unstable nucleal configuration will expel a single or multiple neutrons (which each beta decay to a proton and a W – boson (which decays to an electron and an electron antineutrino) in 879.6 ± 0.8 seconds).

            You’re coming awfully close to endorsing the Cyclon Theory “neutron as proton and electron egg” crackpottery. Next you’ll be claiming the neutron can change form between neutron and proton (changing size and mass by orders of magnitude) randomly and without impetus, and that there’s only one particle which makes up all invariant-mass matter in the universe. That’s Ken Wheeler crackpottery (which he stole verbatim without attribution, natch). LOL

            If you like, I can provide the electron capture decay chain from Osmium (the most-dense element) all the way up the Periodic Table to Hydrogen (I can go further down the Periodic Table, but I’ve already got it all written down from Osmium)… but you’d likely not understand it, nor would you grok why electron capture decay causes nuclear transmutation up the Period Table, nor how to force that electron capture decay even for meta-stable atoms (all atoms which are non-fissionable are meta-stable, but no one would expect you to understand why that would be).

            Herb Rose wrote:
            “Despite what Newton and Einstein say, gravity is not a function of mass.”

            Gravity is literally invariant-mass matter expanding the geodesics of space-time, decreasing energy density in that region surround the invariant-mass matter, causing an energy density gradient which is what gravity literally is… an energy density gradient (which provides the impetus for objects to move in that gravitational field… all motion (all work) requiring an impetus). Of course it is a function of mass (or energy, energy and mass being equivalent via E^2 = m^2 c^4 + p^2 c^2)… energy and mass are two forms of the same thing.

            You’re denying an awful lot of empirical science… and providing handwavium explanations that are intended for laypersons, sans mathematical corroboration, while twisting those explanations to fit your odd hobby theory. Don’t do that… everyone who’s tried has only ended up embarrassing themselves. LOL

            Hi LOL,
            When you say you have studied and been trained you are confessing that you’ve been brainwashed into believing in nonsense. When I say I don’t believe in something then use it, it is to point out the the absurdity and contradiction of what you believe.
            A neutron is a subatomic molecule just as a alpha particle is a subatomic particle. It is made from a combination of an electron and a proton (Quarks with their flavors are a result of quacks trying to make things complicated.) and it has both a negative charge and a positive charge that are equal, making it neutral overall. When this dual charged molecule moves through an energy/magntic field it represents two equal currents flowing in opposite directions. This creates a shearing force that splits the molecule creating a hydrogen atom containing both matter and energy while producing a disturbance in the energy field (gamma ray).
            Energy is attracted to positive matter and having a stronger force than the electrical force of matter it is able to split matter. When there are no exposed electrons energy will form a compression force that holds a nucleus together (no binding force), If there are too many electrons and one is exposed the compression force will destroy the nucleus. If there are too few electrons in the nucleus there will not be enough glue within the nucleus to resist the compression of the energy and it will again be destroyed.
            It is simple. There are two distinct components that make up the universe: matter with its electrical force snd energy with its gravity/magnetic force. The two are not the same and behave in opposite manners. When opposite charges come together the size and strength of the radiated force degreases (neutron). When opposite poles come together the size and strength of he radiated force increases (Stronger magnet, greater gravity.). When similar charges come together the size and strength of the radiated electric force increases. When similar poles come together the size and strength of the radiated field decreases.
            Energy and matter are not the same and the make believe reality you believe in is a fantasy with no connection to reality.

            When a gas molecule collides with a thermometer it does not add mass to it, only energy. Therefore it is only measuring the energy of the gas molecule not its kinetic energy.
            You have absolutely no ability to think, just repeat what you’ve been told are the right answers. I’m sure you do well in school but you are no scientist.

            I didn’t just ‘insist’, I proved it.

            And what would that energy be classified as, Herb? Hmmm?

            E_total = E_electronic + E_vibrational + E_rotational + E_translational

            Which is it, Herb?

            It can only be E_translational, which is kinetic energy.

            Just to rub some salt in those gaping wounds in your savaged psyche over your embarrassing yourself so badly in your insistence that translational mode energy isn’t kinetic energy, Herb:

            Calculate the temperature of a 40Ar atom (mass = 6.63590925530233e-26 kg, 39.962383123824 amu) moving at 50 m/s in a single translational mode DOF, and in 3 translational mode DOF.

            k_B = 1.380649e-23 J K−1

            v = √(v_x^2 + v_y^2 + v_z^2)
            Therefore, if v_x = 50 m/s and v_y = 0 and v_z = 0; v = 50 m/s

            1) Calculate the kinetic energy of the atom:

            KE = (1/2) m v^2
            KE = (1/2) (6.63590925530233e-26 kg) (50 m/s)^2

            KE = 8.2948865691279125e-23 J

            2a)
            KE = (DOF / 2) k_B T
            T = (2 KE) / (DOF k_B)

            (2 * 8.2948865691279125e-23 J) / (1 DOF * 1.380649e-23 J K−1) = 12.015923770817800179480809387469 K for a 40Ar atom moving in only one DOF.

            (2 * 8.2948865691279125e-23 J) / (3 DOF * 1.380649e-23 J K−1) = 4.0053079236059333931602697958231 K for a 40Ar atom moving in three DOF.

            Sandia National Laboratories uses this method of calculating temperature.

            2b)
            T = m v^2 / DOF k_B

            6.63590925530233e-26 kg * 2500 / 3 DOF * 1.380649e-23 J K−1 = 4.0053079236059333931602697958231 K

            6.63590925530233e-26 kg * 2500 / 1 DOF * 1.380649e-23 J K−1 = 12.015923770817800179480809387469 K for a 40Ar atom moving in only one DOF.

            See what I did there, Herb? I used the kinetic energy of the atom to derive the temperature of that atom… then I corroborated that (checked my math) via another mathematical route.

            I also happened to prove that it is the kinetic energy that is imparted to a temperature measurement device, not your unnamed “energy of the gas molecule” and certainly not your previously-claimed “momentum”.

            And in so doing, I also happened to prove you wrong yet again. LOL

            Now, Herb, can you tell us what scientific principle states that an atom’s or molecule’s temperature will increase (for the same given kinetic energy) if it is constrained in fewer than 3 DOF? Can you tell us what the name of that form of ‘temperature’ would be in that instance? I bet not. LOL

            Anytime I see a value with a precision of 17 decimal places I know it’s bullshit.
            You need to switch careers to statistician or accountant where they ask, What answer do you want? We will provide the math for it
            Kepler’s law, dv^2 = C, .states that the energy (v^2) decreases with distance from the source. Does this mean that all satellites at the same altitude have the same kinetic energy?

            The last kook I debated (read: squashed like a bug) over on CFACT (the kook going by the moniker ‘evenminded’) insisted that if it wasn’t precise to the last decimal place, it was wrong. So I use the decimal places to the precision of my calculator.

            Now you’re claiming that too many decimal places means it’s wrong.

            You kooks can’t have it both ways. LOL

            There you go, folks. Herb Rose, in a desperate attempt at ‘proving’ himself ‘not wrong’ attempts to conflate satellites with air atoms and molecules.

            I’m sure the more astute readers can ascertain the glaring problem with that (which Herb either was too scientifically illiterate to catch, or disingenuously ignored to push his conflation)… the fact that air molecules collide and thereby attempt to equipartition their kinetic energy, whereas satellites do not.

            Now, let’s all wait with bated breath to see what new non sequitur conflation Herb will desperately pull from his dark-n-dirty to defend his kooky unscientific views. LOL

            I have the wrong formula for calculating kinetic energy. I use 1/2mV^2 but you tell me this is wrong. Since the satellites have different masses I get different kinetic energy for them but I got the same results when I multiply the masses of gasses times the same velocity squared and you tell me this is wrong. What is the correct formula?

            As I’ve stated repeatedly that when objects have elastic collisions the object with the greater velocity adds velocity to the object with less velocity regardless of mass. Get yourself one of those swinging ball desk ornaments and learn about the conservation of momentum.

            You have a 1000 ton concrete block moving toward you at 1 MPH. Your car is going 150 MPH toward the concrete block.

            Do you know what an elastic collision or velocity is?
            Velocity has direction so the car is traveling at 150 mph while the concrete block is traveling at -1 mph.
            When the car hits the block its velocity will increase and be greater than -1 mph. In an elastic collision there is no lose of energy by heat, crumpling metal, or other means. All the kinetic energy is preserved as motion and distributed between the two masses, changing the kinetic energy of the masses but not the total kinetic energy.
            Again you are adjusting the data to give the answer you believe. What kind of charge does a fraction of an electron have? Only idiots would believe that when a proton and electron combine to form a neutron (with a mass equal to the mass of a proton plus the mass of an electron) and when that neutron decays into a proton, electron and gamma ray (no mass) that the neutron is not made from a proton and an electron.
            You are an egomaniac unwilling to consider the possibility that you could be wrong and when evidence is shown that disputes your infallibility you will change the evidence or ignore it.
            Use your math skills to prove that something that is a function of a variable is equal to something that is an inverse function of the same variable. Einstein did it by dividing by zero. What trick are you going to use?

            Yes, folks, Herb Rose actually believes that an electron is not a fundamental particle (ie: he believes the electron can be split further). LOL

            Why don’t you just admit that you’ve constructed a fantasy fyzics world for some odd reason, you’re desperately attempting to defend it, you keep getting blasted out of the water via mathematical proof whereas you keep issuing vague hand-wavey ‘explanations’ that make no sense, because you have some block that prevents you from actually learning how the universe works, Herb. LOL

            Yes, I know what an elastic collision is, Herb. For the purposes of the vehicle / cement block discussion, it should have been obvious that we were assuming an elastic collision.

            And the car will not increase the cement block’s velocity, it’ll barely even slow it down as the car’s direction is reversed:

            https://i.imgur.com/JsGp7d3.png

            Object #1 (cement block):
            Mass: 90718474 kg
            Initial Velocity: 1.609344 km/h
            Final Velocity: 1.1238 km/h

            Object #2 (car):
            Mass: 907.18474 kg
            Initial Velocity: -241.4016 km/h
            Final Velocity: 67.82 km/h

            You’ll note the vector of the car changed sign… that means the car slowed from 241.4016 km/h, was stopped completely, then was thrown at 67.82 km/h in the opposite direction… all while the cement block only slowed down by only 0.485544 km/h.

            Diametrically opposite to what you claimed: “the object with the greater velocity adds velocity to the object with less velocity regardless of mass”… in point of fact, the object with the greater velocity reduced the velocity of the object with lesser velocity, whereas the vector of velocity for the faster object was completely reversed.

            But kooks are often diametrically opposite to reality, Herb… it’s a hallmark of your kookery and the easiest means of spotting a kook. LOL

            You’ve got to stop listening to kooks, Herb… they’re misleading you. How about you crack a book and actually study, rather than blustering out your lack of knowledge?

            Einstein in his 1917 research paper proposed a model of a Static Universe but arrived at a Cosmological Constant that he had trouble getting rid of (his mathematics was correct, he just didn’t believe that the universe was expanding, as the Cosmological Constant implies).

            Einstein attempted to fudge that Cosmological Constant out via a common mathematical maneuver to arrive at a static universe, a static universe being widely believed at the time.

            Five years later, Alexander Freidman, a Russian cosmologist found that under certain conditions Einstein’s equation involved division by zero, which is not permissible.

            Einstein acquiesced to the data, adopted the view of an expanding universe, withdrew that paper and referred to his attempt at negating the Cosmological Constant as the biggest blunder of his life… when his only blunder was that his mathematics was correct, but he didn’t like the implications of the maths, and he attempted to correct it to show what everyone believed at the time, that the universe was static.

            That’s a 0.00000158502 μm photon = 0.00158502 nm photon = 0.0158502 Å photon.

            That’s a gamma ray photon, Herb. LOL

            Trivial, but you won’t understand a bit of this, Herb.

            https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/541978/can-the-inverse-of-a-function-be-the-same-as-the-original-function

            Let “f” be a function with domain “A” and range “B”.

            Define the inverse function “f^-1” as the function that has range “A” and domain “B”, and such that “f^-1(f(x)) = x” for all “x” in “A”.

            Prove that “f(f^-1(x)) = x” for all “x” in “B”.

            PROOF #1 (comprehensive):
            Consider the function “f(x) = 2x”, which has domain “A” = (-∞, ∞) and range “B” = (-∞, ∞).

            The inverse function “f^-1(x)” can be found by solving the equation “f(x) = 2x” for “x”. This results in “x = 2^-1(f(x))” or “x = f^-1(2x)”.

            Since “f(x) = 2x”, we can rewrite the equation as “x = f^-1(2x)”.

            Next, we need to prove “f(f^-1(x)) = x” for all “x” in “B”.

            Since “f(x) = 2x” and “f^-1(x) = x/2”, we can calculate “f(f^-1(x)) = f(x/2) = 2(x/2) = x”. Thus, “f(f^-1(x)) = x” for all “x” in “B”.

            As a result, we can conclude that the function “f(x) = 2x” is equal to its inverse function “f^-1(x) = x/2”, since their composition is equal to the identity function.

            PROOF #2 (simple):
            Graph the function y=x, you’ll see that for any given value, both the function and its inverse are identical, giving a 45° diagonal line. When you graph a function, and it mirrors itself across the x=y line, that function is an inverse of itself by definition.

            In fact, Herb, I’ll even provide you a real-world example of a function being equal to its inverse function…

            Given that the gradient and its derivative are dual (transpose) to (of) each other, and given that tensor rank is invariant under transposition, that means that tensor rank escalates for each gradient thusly:

            ……../ gradient (rank 8) [ᵀ] (rank 8) 8th derivative := drop
            ……./ gradient (rank 7) [ᵀ] (rank 7) 7th derivative := lock
            ……/ gradient (rank 6) [ᵀ] (rank 6) 6th derivative := pop
            …../ gradient (rank 5) [ᵀ] (rank 5) 5th derivative := crackle
            …./ gradient (rank 4) [ᵀ] (rank 4) 4th derivative := snap
            …/ gradient (rank 3) [ᵀ] (rank 3) 3rd derivative := jerk
            ../ gradient (rank 2) [ᵀ] (rank 2) 2nd derivative := acceleration
            ./ gradient (rank 1) [ᵀ] (rank 1) 1st derivative := velocity
            / scalar (rank 0) (affine space position)

            The gradient builds upon the tensor quantity which it is operating upon to produce the next higher-rank tensor quantity, which is the derivative. The gradient and its derivative are dual (transpose) to (of) each other, and tensor rank is invariant under transposition, so the tensor rank of the gradient is the same as the tensor rank of its transpose (its derivative) and vice versa. Given that taking the dot product of a transpose is equivalent to taking the outer product, and taking the outer product escalates resultant tensor rank, that means that for a tensor of rank k, the gradient will be rank k+1, and thus so will the resultant derivative. That in no way implies that the gradient and its associated derivative have the same physical dimensionality.

            A transposition of a matrix is an involution on the set of matrices, and an involution is exactly what you were talking about (although you didn’t know it).

            In other words, Herb…

            If a tensor has a magnitude and no vector field (i.e., rank 0 tensor), then it is called a scalar and has 1 component in 3-D space and in 4-D space-time.

            If a tensor has a magnitude and one vector field (i.e., rank 1 tensor), then it is called a vector and has 3 components in 3-D space and 4 components in 4-D space-time.

            If a tensor has a magnitude and two vector fields (i.e., rank 2 tensor), then it is called a dyad and has 9 components in 3-D space and 16 components in 4-D space-time.

            If a tensor has a magnitude and three vector fields (i.e.: rank 3 tensor), then it is called a triad and has 27 components in 3-D space and 64 components in 4-D space-time.

            If a tensor has a magnitude and four vector fields (ie: rank 4 tensor), then it is called a tetrad and has 81 components in 3-D space and 256 components in 4-D space-time.

            … so on and so forth. You start with scalar position, you increase tensor rank when you add displacement (velocity), and that gradient of affine space position is one tensor rank higher, and given that tensor rank is invariant under transposition (and velocity is a transposition of the gradient of affine space position), velocity is a Rank 1 tensor.

            Then if you accelerate (increase or decrease velocity or change direction), you add another gradient (the change in velocity), and thus acceleration is a Rank 2 tensor.

            So on and so forth all the way up from affine space position, to velocity, to acceleration, to jerk, to snap, to crackle, to pop, to lock, to drop. All transpositions, therefore all involutions… the original function is the inverse of its transpose function, the gradient and its derivative are dual (transpose) to (of) each other.

      Hi Sunset Englishman,
      I think it would be the best to let LOL@KKK and Herb have their email addresses and then just report the outcome instead of cluttering this website.

        I believe we have a duty to expose scientific charlatans and question their motives for promulgating verifiably false ‘science’… it’s something an enemy attempting to discredit the climate-skeptical community would do (and has done in the past… I personally perturbed BeyondSmartLady over at CFACT to such an extent that she cracked and started spewing her true (liberal) beliefs. Edward Grant Foster (aka Tamino) was caught several times using pseudonyms and dispensing junk science so he could crow on his website about the conservative rubes believing it. ‘Evenminded’ has hijacked dozens of pseudonyms and real-life names of prominent conservative climate skeptics across dozens of sites and spews utter hogwash in an attempt to discredit our side.).

        So one must ask: “Why is Herb Rose so adamant about continuing to spew unscientific bafflegab in light of mathematical proof that he is wrong? Why does he use the same non-sequituring, goalpost-moving tactics that the liberals use? Whose side is he on?”

        Is it to protect ‘revenue’ from the three books he wrote (back in 2015 and 2017… very few sold and there aren’t even any reviews of any of the books)? Likely not, given the dismal sales. So what’s he protecting by continuing to spew his tripe and mislead people?

        “What are you protecting?”, you may ask. Well, I’ve not written any for-sale books (I give away all of my writings for free and with the encouragement to use it in any way one wishes, in whole or in part, either with or (preferably) without attribution.

        What am I protecting? I’m attempting to destroy CAGW before it destroys our way of life… using bog-standard science straight of the textbooks.

        In a world that wasn’t full of ineducable sheeple, the three posts below would do the job all on their own:

          Final comment.
          I also believe in exposing falsities, which includes physics as well as GHGT.
          In your example of the car and concrete block you use speed instead of velocity. Velocity has direction so since the two are moving in opposite directions one has a negative velocity. If we say the concrete block has a negative velocity and the car has a positive velocity then after the collision the concrete block has had its velocity increased (slowed) and the velocity of the car has decreased (becoming negative). Since energy is v^2 the block has gained energy the car has lost energy. The car, with less kinetic energy has added energy to the concrete block, violating the 2nd law. If this law is wrong what consequences does it have on theories that use it as a premise (Planck’s work)?

            FFS, Herb. You do understand that velocity was used, yes? Velocity being a vector (a magnitude and a direction) whereas speed is a scalar (only a magnitude), yes?

            That’s why the vector of the car changed sign, Herb… the vector of the car changed direction 180 degrees. Inherently a vector was used.

            https://i.imgur.com/JsGp7d3.png

            Object #1 (cement block):
            Mass: 90718474 kg
            Initial Velocity: 1.609344 km/h
            Final Velocity: 1.1238 km/h

            Object #2 (car):
            Mass: 907.18474 kg
            Initial Velocity: -241.4016 km/h
            Final Velocity: 67.82 km/h

            The negative Initial Velocity for the car denotes that it is moving to the left. The positive Final Velocity for the car denoted that it is moving to the right.

            You’re just wrong, Herb. On everything. And when you’re called on it, you goalpost-move, nitpick, non sequitur and attempt to topic-shift… all the same tactics used by those attempting to discredit the climate-skeptical side by promulgating idiocy under guise of posing as one of us.

            Stop it. You’re not ‘proving’ yourself ‘not wrong’, you are wrong and it’s pretty obvious to anyone with even an iota of proper schooling that you’re showing the shallowness of your knowledge.

            That you continue makes me lean more and more toward believing that you’re a Judas goat. Stop it. Buckle down. Crack a book. Study.

            The car and concrete block are moving in the same direction when the car hits the concrete block. Does the velocity of the car increase as it gains energy from the block or does it slow down as it transfers energy to the block?
            Your belief in your infallibility makes any suggestion that you are wrong inconceivable.

            You don’t even have the depth of knowledge necessary to understand what a scalar or vector is, you don’t even have the depth of knowledge necessary to understand that the car and the block start out going toward each other, Herb.

            Let us not forget Herb Rose’s initial claim:
            “the object with the greater velocity adds velocity to the object with less velocity regardless of mass”

            https://i.imgur.com/JsGp7d3.png

            Object #1 (cement block):
            Mass: 90718474 kg
            Initial Velocity: 1.609344 km/h
            Final Velocity: 1.1238 km/h
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            HEAVIER OBJECT WITH LOWER VELOCITY; VELOCITY DECREASED

            Object #2 (car):
            Mass: 907.18474 kg
            Initial Velocity: -241.4016 km/h
            Final Velocity: 67.82 km/h

            You’ll note the vector of the car changed sign… that means the car slowed from 241.4016 km/h, was stopped completely, then was thrown at 67.82 km/h in the opposite direction… all while the cement block only slowed down by only 0.485544 km/h.

            Diametrically opposite to what Herb Rose claimed: “the object with the greater velocity adds velocity to the object with less velocity regardless of mass”… in point of fact, the object with the greater velocity reduced the velocity of the object with lesser velocity, whereas the vector of velocity for the faster object was completely reversed.

            And yet, Herb Rose continues arguing, continues spewing confidently-stated unphysicalities. Why? What is his agenda? Why is he purposefully misleading people with verifiably incorrect statements? Why does he continue doing damage to the climate-skeptical side, painting us as scientifically-illiterate by posing as one of us? Whose side is he on?

            In your analysis both objects lose energy.
            I was trying to simplify the scenario so you could comprehend it, instead you try to confuse things.
            In the simplified scenario both the car and the block are moving in the same direction giving them both positive velocity. The car hits the block. Do both the car and block slow down or does the car slow down and the speed of the block increase? Is the car (with less kinetic energy) adding energy to the block (more kinetic energy) or not?
            Are you deliberately playing stupid or just being an ass?

            And now Herb Rose is attempting to change the initial conditions to ‘prove’ himself ‘not wrong’… you specifically stated that:

            “the object with the greater velocity adds velocity to the object with less velocity regardless of mass

            … if that were true, it would be true in all circumstances, Herb. Obviously, the disproof is proof that you’re spewing utter garbage. Your attempt at changing the initial conditions is a rather pitiful attempt at resurrecting your now-ravaged reputation as a purveyor of scientific truth… you’ve been exposed as a scientific charlatan… there is very little in your ‘article’ above which is actually true, and PSI should be extraordinarily cautious in ever allowing you to publish on their platform in future… because you’ve yet to explicate your agenda, why you continue to use the same exact tactics as the leftists… non sequituring, goalpost shifting, changing initial conditions, spewing confidently-stated unphysicalities as gospel truth, etc.

            Remember, folks, this is Herb Rose’s “final, final, final” comment… he’s obviously got an agenda if he can’t just admit he’s wrong and go crack a book to study… instead he continues pushing whatever agenda he’s got by spewing scientific falsehoods, while attempting ad hominems (attacking the messenger rather than the message).

            I know no one likes being told they’re wrong, Herb… but you’ve been wrong on practically everything, because your depth of knowledge is simply too shallow to even cogently converse on these topics.

            Your goalpost-shifting, initial-condition-changing, ad-hominem attacking, non sequituring, topic-changing tactics aren’t going to change that, Herb.

            You cracking a book and studying might. Why don’t you try that, Herb?…

            … unless promulgating scientific truth isn’t your ultimate purpose. LOL

            Why don’t you answer the questions, Herb?

            And here we have a perfect example of Herb Rose confidently stating a scientific falsehood. Where did the energy go in this elastic collision in a closed system, Herb?

            Knowing that it is an elastic collision, were you lying when you stated that both objects lost energy, as means of bolstering your as-yet explicated agenda?

            Or do you just not believe in 1LoT, not even in a closed system during an elastic collision such as was this example? LOL

            Why don’t you put that to mathematics to prove your contention, Herb?

            Oh, that’s right, because you can’t. LOL

            In this frictionless example of a cement block and a vehicle, it requires an energy expenditure to decelerate just as it requires an energy expenditure to accelerate. The energy of the faster object worked to decelerate the slower object (diametrically opposite to what you claimed… you claimed it would “add velocity” (your words) to the slower object.

            You’ll find that the system (which is comprised of both objects) has the same exact level of momentum in the Final Condition as it had in the Initial Condition.

            It is, after all, an elastic collision. And in a closed system, no less. Or do you not know what an elastic collision is, Herb? LOL

            Mheh, Omni Calculator glitched, giving the incorrect Final Velocity for the second object. I discovered this as I was doing the calculations by hand just to be sure.
