I'm seeing someone who only posts here because this is probably the only attention he gets when he speaks of these kinds of ideas. My reccommendation is to take the approach his dad did when he starts:
"Out of the way son i'm trying to watch the game" |

Ok firstly i didn't know they already tried to create tesseractile matter secondly thank you for a HELPFUL post
I wrote this late at night when the idea just came to me I thought about how in the future we may make it stable. Steven Hawkings proposed a theory that black holes too small for a photon to pass through exist in every particle. I know that was after the Columbia experiments. Do you think it in the future this principle could allow for the stabilization of a 3 dimensional shifting true four dimensional tesseractile matter? I really know little about this and I am just trying to give some off the wall ideas that I honestly don't know if they lack scientific credibility but to everyone who posted jokes or simply bashed me <i'm thinking of a four letter word> you |

Posting in a troll thread...
A tesseract is a 4-dimensional cube, not a state of matter. If you want to say tesseract, say tesseract. If you want to say 4-dimensional matter, say 4-dimensional matter. There's no such thing as tesseractile matter just like there's no such thing as cubic matter. |

Using my unfathomable powers not only have I made you raise your hand but I've wiped your memory of doing it. You puny sceptics make me laugh with your need for evidence. You are all in my power.
Or perhaps not. |

more off the wall ideas about tesseractile atomic structure creation to make tesseractile elements
I believe if you take a radioactive element atom and lower it to 0k it still exhibits radioactive decay but shows no signs of radioactivity because 0k restricts time-space to motionlessness relative to the atom. This radiation goes somewhere. It goes into the impossibly small blackholes in the atomic structure and i hope dilates the black hole enough to pass particles through and into the black hole. Combining two radioactive elements, not sure which ones, to create what seems to be a cubic radioactive atomic structure where the black holes stay dialated and allow for tesseractile formation stable in four dimensions. You may say it goes into the black hole but why does it come out. Simple black holes work on gravity, i believe and atomic structure is held together by the greater force which trumps gravity allowing atomic shifting three dimensionally to acomadate <sp> a constant shifting cubic three dimensional form. Maybe this is all false, I'm no physicist so I'm just trying to inspire you to look at is it possible we may be able to make free energy tesseractile matter in the future. I slightly take offense to comments that I'm retarded etc please stop |

jestblaze, the "thiotimoline" reference, as several people have pointed out, was from a short story by Isaac Asimov ("Thiotimoline to the Stars"). Nobody has tried to create "tesseractile matter"; there is no such thing.
I wrote this late at night when the idea just came to me I thought about how in the future we may make it stable. It doesn't exist. Steven Hawkings proposed a theory that black holes too small for a photon to pass through exist in every particle. No, he didn't, and that doesn't even make sense. It's like saying there's a very small pony in every amoeba. I know that was after the Columbia experiments. Again, there were no such experiments. That was a joke. Do you think it in the future this principle could allow for the stabilization of a 3 dimensional shifting true four dimensional tesseractile matter? That makes no sense whatsoever. There's no separate set of some other "four dimensional" or "tesseractile" matter. Arguments about string theory and extra dimensions are about the nature of all matter and how we observe and interact with it. I really know little about this and I am just trying to give some off the wall ideas that I honestly don't know if they lack scientific credibility Sorry, but nothing you said bears any resemblance to physical reality. But I commend you for your free-ranging interest. but to everyone who posted jokes or simply bashed me <i'm thinking of a four letter word> you Temper, temper. This isn't an academic environment, and frankly if you make wild claims people are going to have a little fun with it. Especially if you haven't invested enough effort to notice that the "HELPFUL" post was itself a joke. I'm not bashing you; that's just an observation. |

Not only is this silly, it is wrong. Where do you get this stuff? I highly recommend not using information from these sources again. You are the only person who used the word 'retarded' and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop doing so. You are woo and you are wrong and you really really need to learn some science. |

There is still no such thing as a "tesseractile element". Not even theoretically.
I believe if you take a radioactive element atom and lower it to 0k That is not possible. it still exhibits radioactive decay but shows no signs of radioactivity No, that makes no sense. Radioactivity has nothing to do with thermal motion. because 0k restricts time-space to motionlessness relative to the atom. No, that is gibberish. In any case, the temperature is of the atom and has nothing to do with space time in which it resides. This radiation goes somewhere. It goes into the impossibly small blackholes in the atomic structure The key word here is "impossibly". As already mentioned, there are no black holes inside atoms. and i hope dilates the black hole enough to pass particles through and into the black hole. No, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You're saying you are taking something smaller than a particle and putting a particle inside it. Not only is there no physical reality to any of this, it's not even logically coherent. Combining two radioactive elements, not sure which ones, to create what seems to be a cubic radioactive atomic structure No. When you combine two radioactive elements, you get a radioactive molecule, or a mix of radioactive elements if they don't combine chemically. It doesn't push things into different dimensions or other such nonsense. where the black holes stay dialated and allow for tesseractile formation stable in four dimensions. You may say it goes into the black hole but why does it come out. Word salad. None of this is even defined, let alone real. Simple black holes work on gravity, i believe and atomic structure is held together by the greater force which trumps gravity No, no, no. The strong atomic force has nothing to do with gravity, and doesnt' work against it anyway. allowing atomic shifting three dimensionally to acomadate <sp> a constant shifting cubic three dimensional form. "Cubic" and "three dimensional" do not mean the same thing. And what you said doesn't have any physical meaning, nor is it logically connected to your "four dimensional" notions. Maybe this is all false, I'm no physicist so I'm just trying to inspire you to look at is it possible we may be able to make free energy tesseractile matter in the future. I slightly take offense to comments that I'm retarded etc please stop You're not retarded, but you need to spend some time learning a little basic physics if you want people to really pay attention to you. I don't mean to be rude, but as the saying goes, what you're talking about is so far removed from reality that it doesn't even get to the point of being "wrong". It's just, well, word salad - i.e., sciency-sounding words that don't mean anything. |

And it's 'Hawking' not 'Hawkings."

take a sample of a radioactive element down to absolute zero or vanishingly close to that.
does it decay with its usual half-life or not? i suspect that it does, as the physical processes leading to radioactive decay are not temperature dependent. <from source> few quickly found sources: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/23530/ http://physics.aps.org/story/v10/st27 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...0182828AAQBK1W |

To everyone who feels to make a thread like this, let me explain what it is like.
Think of if a guy my size walked up to a professional MMA fighter, now i start a conversation as to exactly how i would beat him if we were in a fight. Without , at all doing anything to show that i actually can beat him in a fight. Does this not seem like it would be a bit obnoxious? It is the same thing these " Here is how my power works." threads are doing. Show that it works, then we will care about how it works. |

As far as I know, yes, that's correct; radioactive decay continues at its normal rate at very high and very low temperatures.
If you want to follow up on that, I suggest you post the question in its own thread. There are working physicists on the forum who can answer this better than my layman's knowledge. |

Isn't one of the magical technobabble devices in the 80's motion picture Masters of the Universe called a "Tesseract"? Maybe this is what he's referring to.

Kelvin Absolute Zero vs. Relative Speed of Light and Motion References
just another off the wall post but if it's impossible to reach true abolute zero kelvin shouldn't there be an equation that tells you Absolute Velocity in reference to the universe?
Maybe : Lowest achievable temperature in kelvin * a constant<maybe C> = absolute universal velocity |
