How stuff works is a nice site:
Here something about to the "scientific method" (they´ll never get it that science doesn´t mean anything else than compression (you know: like mp3s or avi´s get compressed, where they take something that seems 1 dimensional (a sequence of pictures or audiosignals and add 1 or 2 or even three other dimensions in order to reduce the length of the first dimension, the sequence)/than fusion/implosion)...:

Here for example the maglev train:

Or here the big crunch as a complementary to the big bang:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/big-cru
In fact I assume that the universe expands (fission) in some places while
it implodes (fusion) at other ones - and that this happens at the same time.

Thank you, Topher. And good answer. You got it.
This is how I get who can be diverted easily (and still
will even though I post this here) so that I don´t bother
them any more.
I don´t expect anything from them. Why should I?
They can expect the same from me. I´m sure
they get the craziest suggestions of how it could
be done day by day.
And I still don´t like the words "source of energy".

Those three links all talk about recycling Nuclear waste. It is an idea that is practiced. No, it is not as advanced as it could be with financial backing, but it is still a good idea that helps to reduce the amount of waste. Their are more detailed explanations out there but these are the easiest to find and understand.
I am not sure why you try to put the philosophical ramblings into your posts?? They do not impress me... If you want to talk philosophy you can message me. Let's try to keep it to Physics in here. ;)
You say, Why not try to find a source of energy where we can use the byproduct as another source of energy? That is what scientists are trying to do. Right now they have been trying for all of 20 years at better sources of energy... Do you expect them to pop something out immediately??
RECENT ACTIVITY
Physics wrote on Euroscience Mediterranean Event 2009's Wall.
Physics discussed The Planck Temperature on the Physics discussion board.

Tell me more about the recycling of nuclear waste - or at least give me the shortest of all explanations: a link.
"I do not know of a single energy source that you get from nothing..."
Doesn´t have to be nothing - but why not thinking in the way that the "waste" that occurs is useful again as another "source" of energy (since it´s all a thing of transformation of energy and neither sources nor users really occur)? We ourselves are both: we transform energy on usable and unusable degrees of the scale dimension.
Or as to say: you cannot gain nothing (not very scientific since this breaks the law of conservation of energy) from something.
Topher Maurer Also, Kristian- Can you read my posts? I just ask because it seems like you are from a different country and maybe English is not your first/native language? I just want to make sure that we are not getting lines crossed here that do not need to be crossed.
Topher Maurer
Kristian- You make me laugh at least. ;)
I do not use copy/pasted semantics. I could care less what other people think, nor do I play word games...
Yes, their is research going on and it is very promising on different ways to recycle the Nuclear waste.
Are you saying that I am not interested in science or research? I assure you that I am... Or that I am trying to make money?
You cannot gain something from nothing... Based on your posts half the time it seems as if you are looking for a perfect energy source, one that has no harmful effects on anything, is perfectly renewable, and is free(meaning nothing has to be sacrificed to gain the energy). I do not know of a single energy source that you get from nothing...
Why don't you name me a real alternative to the types of energy that we are investigating right now? I wonder what your idea of "real alternative power" is?
Kristian Kroflin
Topher, I am sorry that you only can use copied & pasted and therefore
automatized semantics that you have to share with a large bunch of people
who aren´t interested in science, research nor development - but in bluffing and
making money by doing this - means: stealing products and services from others
by raising false hopes.
Kristian Kroflin
What´s clean about it? You change the surroundings and tll me that this will have no consequences because you pretend that there´s plenty of wind, water and solar energy available. That doesn´t fit to the statements why "alternative" energies should be introduced.
So tell me: how much energy is needed to produce, maintain and recycle those energy-transformation-devices ?
Is research done on recycling the nuclear "waste"? Not that I know.
And: name me a real alternative, not those who are used to raise false hope
and to make money with fast-effects.
Topher Maurer Kristian WTF are you talking about?? You need to make your posts a bit clearer... Also, you think cleaner energy is a bad thing??
Kristian Kroflin
Physicians: now they´re selling their stuff with words like "this will lead to a major development", "this will change the world", "this will be inevitable in the future", this
will lead to the preservation and development of humanity", "this is interesting", "this is something that the world has never seen before". Bigmouths. Nothing than putting up false hopes. These guys are nothing than the counterpart of the Apocalyptics (and sometimes they even are the Apocalyptics as we can see with "clean" energy).
Kristian Kroflin
Physics is observation and decomposing imagination because of being in a straitjacket.
Others only compose while they´re in there.
I am just in it in order to figure out if some things get more likely or more unlikely to me which maybe have been the other way around before. It´s fun to play around.
"Truth"? Never have seen such an object.
ThE word "God", some use the word "coincidence" instead, is often used by those who want to act in a way that harms others but don´t want to take the responsibility for it - therefore they divert on "God" as the one to blame. People also did that with Hitler and so on. This diversion on something that can´t be blamed is also called excuse.
A Black hole is actually full of matter, that is what makes it different from a vacuum. It is black because the light cannot escape its gravity well. What the bright dot represents is most likely a star orbiting the black hole, the flickering is ... Read Morewhen the black hole is between us and the orbiting star. It is like a solar eclipse, when the black hole is between us and the star none of the light from the star can reach us. Black holes don't pulsate, but since it has gravity things orbit the black hole and until they go over the event horizon they can still emit light.
