Tony, I have been finishing up some projects. July 23, 2024 was the 26th Anniversary of the Internet Foundation. I did a quick read of this last paper, and your earlier ones. You are arguing theories, when I think you ought to be studying the technologies, instruments, sensors and data. I recommend “gravitational engineering” not

After Café: Strategies for Better Cross-Sectional Imaging – Edge Cleaving or FIB? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjifh7J4Wos Bangzhi Liu, Thank you for sharing these examples. It seems that human manual methods – cleaving with tweezers, pressing and heating, might have reached their limit. The results become more complex to evaluate, and corrections almost not possible at all. I

Launch Pad Astronomy: Neutron Stars, Pulsars and Magnetars at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWsWcWAcK2U For the Internet Foundation, I had to add KiloTesla and MegaTesla to “commonly used units”. Yours is an early example of GigaTeslas, so there will be more. Gravitational energy density, magnetic energy density and many other kinds of energy density can all be interconverted now.

Adiabatic Flame Temperature at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwgQvi1Y24o I would pre-heat the oxygen and fuel molecules electromagnetically. Then record the 3D volumetric temperature distribution, tracking flow of reactants. To start. And find the temperature dependent heat capacities data or models. To start. Calibrate and optimized the linked models. Track spectroscopic IR, VIS, thermal, UV, whatever is available. Share

ElectoBoom: Making a Water Railgun at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy81O7LrB84 1 cubic centimeter of water is 1 gram = 1E-3 Kg. Add 1 Watt Second = 1 Joule of energy. (1/2) * m * v^2 = Joules Velocity_meterspersecond^2 = 2*Joules/Kilograms Velocity_MetersPerSecond = sqrt(2*Joules/Kilograms) sqrt(2*(1 Joule)/1E-3 kilogram) = sqrt(2000 Joules/kg) = 44.7213595 (m/s) = 100.0388320956 Miles per Hour Note:

Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett Stress propagation in active solids induces spontaneous actuation of floppy modes without exciting vibrational modes Letter: https://go.aps.org/4aViIjP Focus: https://go.aps.org/3XdD2K1 https://pic.x.com/ypc3kwl43d Replying to @PhysRevLett Frequencies and directions and timings can be precisely modeled. Whether in solids, liquids, gases or plasmas. I am not sure why you treat it as something unusual. You

Julian Stirling @stirling_julian I’m delighted to still be publishing papers almost 2 years after leaving academia to become freelance. This article is more of a “rant with references”, I try to tackle the problem of perverse incentives that prevent open science from flourishing. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2023.0215 Replying to @stirling_julian There are fundamental experiments that can examine fundamental

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, If I were going to look at the Galactic Plane now, I would look for evidence of civilizations of two types. The human species is going to produce intelligent machines. Their size and shapes and abilities are open. But in terms of human knowledge one very likely outcome is that human

Humans can colonize Milky Way Galaxy with intelligent devices, and search for gravity signals. — Galactic civilizations using intelligent devices can live billions of years. So the most likely “species” for human devices to meet would be intelligent devices. Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might look for intelligent messages in the galactic plane. And space

Put the data from your devices on the Internet and share it live 24/7 with everyone in the world, so it is “all humans” not just “us”, then I will start to believe your words. Archive the noise so it can be studied. You can get to where your systems are sensitive gravimeters, and
