Building the Foundation Of Physics

Ever pondered from where do we get all the underlying concepts of different streams of sciences? Just give it a thought , you will agree that psychology is the biology of the brain, biology is just the study of biochemical reactions, biochemistry(or organic chemistry) is simply complex chemical reactions, chemistry being just molecular physics summed up into a table(The periodic table).
Now you can extrapolate molecular physics which is defined by the weak nuclear force to the fundamental forces of physics. And yes also the four fundamental forces of physics can be broken down into one Grand Unified Theory of Physics. Essentially, the world can be defined by a few basic principles.

Understanding the above I have set new rules fro defining the approaches at understanding any field of research. I would like to share them with you.

One should follow the divide and conquer approaches to solve big problems and so should be the approach for doing research in a particular domain. Like if I wish to engage myself with the research in the field of biology, I would first comprehend a significant understanding of physics. As soon as I had a firm grasp on physics I would study chemistry and then organic chemistry. Only when I had a firm understanding of these gateway sciences would I start to study Biology.

To begin with the essentials is always beneficial but the fact remains that educational programs are neglecting this important aspect of the learning process. Like a person working on a psychology degree only has to take a few courses in biology and usually no courses in chemistry or physics.

Every coin has two sides, apart from the listed advantages there do exist some flaws with this methodology, the obvious one being greater amount of time to learn everything from the ground up. Another being that many of us find it hard to grasp all of these concepts. Lastly many people don’t own that extra patience of learning by this method!

Though there are flaws with this kind of approach but I am confident that this is the right approach to any kind of learning process and it is in the best of interest for society.

Locust Plague Defense; Hanging Zap Net from Cargo Plane

For those who have sat and watched in horror as a Locust Plague came over head in a dark cloud of solid insects thundering across the landscape; they know the devastation that takes place as an entire seasons crop can be gone in a matter of minutes. As temperature increases so to will the balance between insects and their food chain, meaning more locust plagues and other insect swarming events.

What can mankind do to stop these locust plagues? Well I propose we use a hanging zap net or bug zapper from a C-130 Cargo Aircraft. If we take five C-130 aircraft and fly them in a “V” pattern with giant nets with holes in them about 4 inches wide full electrified from portable generators in the back. We can zap the locusts in the swarm as the nets pass by them. We know locust usually fly under 180 feet above the ground, so if we fly at 220 feet above the ground and lower a net 200 feet out the back then it will zap them all.

The net strands will be shaped like airfoils so the net actually flies and aligns its self at about an 80-degree angle. Surely not all bugs will get zapped but most will and thus we can reduce the swarm by 75-90% and eliminate some of the devastation. A few passes and we could perhaps shave off another 5% to 10% of the total and call it a successful mission. Think on this in 2006.
