Re: Radiating Power
Sep 23, 2003, 13:53
Not getting into semantics at all, but I do have trouble when scientists say they can only recognise the existence of energy that they can measure or quantify. How would an archaeologist have measured the decay of carbon 14 a century ago? It was still there though, slowly ticking away. I don't know if stones radiate energy, but perhaps one day it will be measurable. Is granite not radioactive and a health hazard in parts of Cornwall? Is radiation not energy? Perhaps sensitive human beings can detect low energy emissions for which we do not yet have appropriate scientific measuring devices and so that may be the ONLY reason why we cannot "measure or quantify"
