Sun Mar 23, 2003 2:02 pm core energy |
|
i am not sure if it is realy refered to as core energy but i know we all have some of it. it is like our life force, or in simpler turms it is like our battery. it is constantly recharging and when this life force runs out we die is it actualy called core energy or what?

more like Final Fantasy.
We dont have core energy. We have a central nervous system that helps us monitor our functions, IE, Muscular state. If the muscles tell us they need to relax for a while, we sleep. No core energy. Just brain activity. But I suggest that we end this now, this could turn into a religious debate. You know, like souls and stuff.

True, but you could also turn this into a biological debate about how energy is processed by a human body. True, our bodies run on a form of electricity, but where does that come from? The food we eat? The oxygen we breathe? All of the above, according to a biology textbook.

Exactly. End of story. Food we eat and air we breathe modify the current state of the cell (because we have only broken the Law of Conservation of Energy once). That state changes and chemicals are created. Those chemicals power our bodies. THATS WHERE IT COMES FROM

I know this is off topic...but what do you mean that we have broken the Law of Conservation of Energy?
And yes, spiritually, we may have "core energy" but biologically, all of our physical actions come from the food we eat. Cells process nutrients into ATP's and that is what we run on.

Yes indeed we have. A nuclear explosion causes a minute (im talking really really really small) amount of energy.
And there could be a core energy, spiritually, but we arent turning this into a religious debate.

A nuclear explosion...that releases a TON of energy. It is probably just a miscalculation.
When a neutron hits a Uranium atom, the Uranium atom splits into 2 different, smaller atoms, and the energy to hold these two different atoms together is less than the total amount of energy required to hold a Uranium atom together. The left over energy from this happening trillions upon trillions of times creates the gigantic explosion that creates a nuclear blast.
It is probably just scientific error, not actually breaking the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Well, apparently, in discussing this with my friend (a huge science genius by the way) we have indeed not broken the Law of Conservation of Energy, and Ensign Paris is indeed correct---I applaud you.

I'm pretty good at chemistry...what can I say...except thanks!

How long we live is a factor of our DNA makeup, so it is quite possible to engineer a human to live forever. Infact, this would be a piece of cake compared to a Heisenburg compensator! Obviously they would have to eat, drink, breathe etc to live and not get a life threatening illness. BTW, I dont quite see how its possible to break the conservation of energy rule, I mean energy just doesnt come from nowhere??
