It's just a phase you are going through

Pioneering discoveries about electricity flowing through dusty plasma provide the foundation for Electric Universe theory.
Irving Langmuir's scientific contributions were originally electromechanical when he invented a pump capable of drawing a high vacuum, eventually leading to an efficient vacuum tube (or "valve"). Later, along with Lewi Tonks, he realized that tungsten filaments inside lightbulbs would last much longer if he filled the glass with an inert gas, a crucial step in lightbulb development.

The thermal emissions from hot filaments led Langmuir to the consideration of charged particles moving through various gases. He was the first to coin the term "plasma" when referring to such ionized gas. Since charged regions in the gas tended to isolate themselves from the environment, as well as act in ways not governed by mechanical theories of gas behavior, he thought they appeared similar to the organic plasma component of cells.

Langmuir's most important contribution to plasma physics might be the Langmuir probe, a device that measures temperature and density within a plasma by using an electrostatic tip with a voltage bias. In 1999, the ill-fated Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) spacecraft NOZOMI (PLANET-B) was fitted with a Langmuir probe in order to obtain the first set of measurements between Mars and the solar wind. There were several mission problems, however, and NOZOMI never made it into Mars orbit.

Although his contributions to many scientific fields, including plasma physics, were extensive, Langmuir's Nobel Prize was awarded in 1932 "for his discoveries and investigations in surface chemistry."

1. Hi, HD.

This morning we had two HIV/AIDS denialists, a thread about faith healing curing spinal cord injuries, the on-going corexit hoax thread, and two threads about about vaccines causing autism.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

2. Full moon?

Mercury in retrograde?

:rofl:

3. Well at least you've learnt to laugh without all the sniping... or not.

Anyhoo, yes the full moon will do the trick, as will divergent viewpoints that don't require dark energy, dark matter, mysterious black holes or "tired light".

4. I see all my other screen names are working, good on that, as

well as my 3 other personalities.
