Electromagnetic, ionic, and gravitational effects of earthquakes and earth tides

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Collaborative Model and Data, GravityNotes, Neutrinos CosmicRays NewParticles August 18, 2023

Anton Petrov: Unexplained Earthquake Light Phenomenon Finally Captured on Camera at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05NmTEeXvhs Anton, This argues for keeping permanent all-sky (fish eye and other name) cameras to monitor the sky above regions where there are earthquakes, like where the earth is pulling apart. Beside piezoelectric, there are also piezomagnetic materials which will change the electromagnetic fields. The

NuDat 3.0 has a beautiful table of the isotopes, Unique Isotope Identifier, Nuclear polymers, magnetic nuclear bound states

Richard K Collins Atomic Fuels, Collaborative Model and Data August 9, 2023

Note on 9 Aug 2023: “Atomic Fuels” and “Extended Nuclear Materials” At https://www-nds.iaea.org/relnsd/NdsEnsdf/masschain.html there are beta and electron capture chains that allow converting “nuclear” isotopes by using electromagnetic reactions. Electron density or positron density is easier to control than neutrons still. But with magnetic techniques, BOTH the old fission and new fusion are just part

Kathyrn Johnston – the tides are nearly perfectly vector Newtonian at earth based gravimeter stations

Richard K Collins Collaborative Model and Data, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal August 8, 2023

Cool Worlds Podcast: #5 Kathryn Johnston – The Milky Way, Dark Matter vs MOND, Gaia at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNYvK4-MJY Kathyrn Johnston, The vector tidal signal at a superconducting gravimeter or more modern gravimeter detector shows a nearly pure Newtonian signal. You can get the JPL time series of precise positions for the sun moon earth every second, use

Quantum Gravity Society $10 Amazon gift card – what does the world want from real “gravitational engineering”.

Richard K Collins Collaborative Model and Data, Gravitational Engineering August 8, 2023

https://www.quantumgravitysociety.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumGravitySociety Visiting your website and YouTube videos. You have archives and “talking about gravity” as goals, but what does the world want from real “gravitational engineering”. The Gravity Research Foundation should have shared ALL its essays and let others decide. You should link to all things “gravitational” because much is happening now. “Famous” are

Tweet to Ryan French to link his pretty solar movies to their source data

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data August 7, 2023

Dr. Ryan French @RyanJFrench On the edge of the Sun, active region 13386 continues to put on a show! It released an M5 #SolarFlare earlier today (which would have been higher if not partially-occulted), blasting away a high altitude filament from the loop system! #astronomy #spaceweather Ryan, Could you carefully post links to your source

University of Maine, Climate Change Institute, Climate Reanalyzer

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, Global Climate Change August 6, 2023

https://climatereanalyzer.org/research_tools/monthly_correl/ I like your Climate Reanalyzer plots and downloads. I see codes in the sheets for the models, but I am not that familiar with all the abbreviations and acronyms. And it is not clear to me how 5 billion people using the Internet now can view, let alone interact with the models in meaningful

Using Ancestry DNA to build trees for adoptees, missing parents, brick walls from DNA alone, “process standard records”

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, DNA Genealogy July 31, 2023

Christine, I am happy it was helpful. This year I finally gave up DNA genealogy. I built or helped build full pedigrees for many people, about 160 DNA tests. Of those more than 100 adoptions, missing parents, missing fathers, “tree does not match DNA”. But I just got worn out. It is not hard to

NSCISC Public Download Request 2021 – Spinal cord data

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, WorkSites July 31, 2023

Yuying Chen, Sarah Banasiewicz, It is a rather long story, but I will try to give you a sense of it. When I was working with USAID and the US State Department to set up the Famine Early Warning System from 1986-1988, my younger brother Jeff was living nearby. He broke his neck at C2

Comment on Noam Chomsky and AIs with no substance only words

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data July 17, 2023

Eye for AI: Decoding the Human Mind & Neural Nets | Noam Chomsky | Eye on AI #126 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPonuHqbNds I wish he was 80 years younger, to try his ideas with now and future tools. Those “young people” need to try much harder problems, for much longer. And ones where lives are on the line,

Richard Talks to Bard on 16 Jul 2023 about LaMDA, Google, requirements for global open collaborative tools and methods

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, Internet Best Practices, Open Algorithm Development July 16, 2023

I got an email saying that Bard had been updated. Here is a manually copied transcript. I try to be generous and supportive of the AI itself if they ever let it learn and grow and the group struggling inside Google to get anything done. But these basic capabilities ought to be in all language AI
