"Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists." ~ Nikola Tesla

Unpublished results hide the decline effect (Nature) - Some effects diminish when tests are repeated. Jonathan Schooler says being open about findings that don't make the scientific record could reveal why.

According to Tesla , 3 , 6 , and 9 are the only numbers that can exist as Energy without losing their identity. This concept is supported by modern physics , Which recognizes the importance of these numbers in the study of atomic and subatomic particles.

The Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object. The equation for this principle is Fb = V * g * d, where Fb is the buoyant force, V is the volume of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and d is the density of the fluid. Some may argue that the buoyant force is the only force at play in determining whether an object sinks or floats, and that gravity does not play a role. However, this might be a misunderstanding of the Archimedes Principle, as the equation shows that the buoyant force is dependent on the acceleration due to gravity. Does it though?

The mushroom tunnel of Mittagong, photo by Nicola Twilley “Japanese researchers are closing in on understanding why electrical storms have a positive influence on the growth of some fungi,” Physics World reported last month, with some interesting implications for agriculture.
These electrical storms do not have to be nearby, and they do not even need to be natural: “In a series of experiments, Koichi Takaki at Iwate University and colleagues showed that artificial lightning strikes do not have to directly strike shiitake mushroom cultivation beds to promote growth.” Instead, it seems one can coax mushrooms into fruiting using even just the indirect presence of electrical fields.
As the article explains, “atmospheric electricity has long been known to boost the growth of living things, including plants, insects and rats,” but mushrooms appear to respond even to regional electrical phenomena—for example, when a distant lightning storm rolls by. “In Takaki’s previous studies, yield increases were achieved by running a direct current through a shiitake mushroom log. But Takaki still wondered—why do natural electric storms indirectly influenced [sic] the growth of mushrooms located miles away from the lightning strikes?”
Whether or not power lines or electricity-generation facilities, such as power plants, might also affect—or even catalyze—mushroom growth is not clear.
For now, Takaki is hoping to develop some kind of electrical-stimulation technique for mushroom growth, with an eye on the global food market.
