9. Well... the problem is... you don't understand the evidence...

If you did... you would inquire about the Hamiltonian and not engage with this nonsensical hyperbole. If you are curious how this works, I can explain it with math and science. However, this is Pseudoscience so you aren't required to know anything about real physics. I am presenting it here as just an abstract idea. You can research it yourself or ask me a real question... do whatever you like... it's all up to you. This is Pseudoscience. It can't be real.

But ask Bing about the Lewis Ratchet... LOL. It can explain it better than I! (Just not right Now)

I asked Bing to do it for you but well... Bing Sucks but it did ok...

Assume all variables and construct the hamiltonian for the lewis ratchet

Let's break it down. We need to model the Lewis Ratchet’s dynamics in terms of its generalized coordinates and momenta.

Step 1: Identify the Variables:

Let q be the generalized coordinate representing the position of the mass.

Let p be the conjugate momentum.

Step 2: Write the Kinetic Energy (T): The kinetic energy for a mass m is:
T=p2m
Step 3: Define the Potential Energy (V): Assume there is a potential energy function V(q) governing the system. This potential energy could arise from interactions within the system, such as restoring forces or external fields.
Step 4: Construct the Hamiltonian (H): The Hamiltonian is the total energy of the system, which is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies:

H=T+V=p2 m+V(q)
If we were to consider an idealized version of the Lewis Ratchet where the potential energy has a specific form, such as a harmonic oscillator or any other, it could help in visualizing the concept better. Here’s an example assuming a simple harmonic oscillator potential:

V(q)=12kq2
Then, the Hamiltonian becomes:
H=p2m+12kq2
This represents a system with kinetic and potential energies contributing to the overall energy, allowing us to analyze the dynamics and evolution of the Lewis Ratchet.

Bing has no idea what it's talking about... LOL but please read my blog and you can figure this out, it's very simple.

It's just throwing rocks on a raft. As crazy as that sounds, that's the idea
