NSF.gov has good stuff but it has not been curated and organized

https://touchpoints.app.cloud.gov/touchpoints/f0b5f6ee/submit I spent time today working with GPT 4 to map the organizations on the Internet working with “3D printing and replications”. NSF came up as a funding organization, but I realized that NSF has people who are deliberately trying to catalyze growth in specific directions, for specific purposes. I searched ( site:nsf.gov “3D”) to

Famine, Malnutrition, Hunger – “food poor” hunger days

Anna Bjerde @bjerde_anna Shocking to hear that 9 in every 100 people were hungry worldwide in 2021. Knowing where we stand today, and realizing the sense of urgency, is essential as we work towards our common goals for the people we serve. #SDGAtlas  http://wrld.bg/WKR150OVbGA https://pic.twitter.com/i5KmUFLmwB Replying to @bjerde_anna Don’t animate. Use high contrast colors. Make

NanoGrav Collaboration, Pulsar timing images of the Universe that is much larger than the “big bang region”

National Science Foundation News: ANNOUNCEMENT: New Discovery in Gravitational Waves at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydSZVt8iucA National Science Foundation News, NanoGrav Collaboration: A few links to the project, the individuals, the data algorithms and results would be more useful. It says 9:41:45 and only talking heads and waving hands. You need to publish the Pickle binary format so the data

Neil Turok Canadian Quantum Research Center – Grand unification

Canadian Quantum Research Center: A new theory of the universe-Neil Turok at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMVJjCsIEzc Neil Turok, Great summary, but it needs to be a model that people can work with, not just look at. Looking at your summary at 17:00 makes me wonder if we could just move “gravity” onto a collective effect of forces and right

Baron Martin Rees – Quantum Gravity Society, Grand unification means “all human knowledge”

Quantum Gravity Society: Baron Martin Rees, Story of the Universe at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5YTaRPq6HI Baron Martin Rees,  If the “big bang” was an explosion from some tiny region expanding into a much larger region, then it can be common on a scale many times larger. But not just 100. I agree that always bothered me “How could the

Richard Behiel – on linear regression for 3D gravitational calibration, and 3D gravitational imaging

Richard Behiel: The Beauty of Linear Regression (How to Fit a Line to your Data) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my3lsV-VQjs Richard Behiel, The vector tidal gravity signal from the sun moon and earth at a superconducting gravimeter station is simple Newtonian GM/r^2. The suns vector acceleration on the station, minus the suns acceleration on the center of the earth.

Richard Behiel: The nature of the Earth’s gravitational potential and acceleration fields

Richard Behiel: The Nature of Gravity, Part 1: Earth’s Potential and Acceleration Fields at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjBo58RxYQ8 Richard Behiel,  I like your animations, they are a help for visualizing. You might want to consider all the mass from the sun, cosmic rays, solar wind, meteorites, dust and things that collide and interact with the earth over billions of

Radio Astronomy Data sharing on the Internet

Andrea Corvillon, PHT, https://asa.alma.cl/UserRegistration/newAccount.jsp I was looking at your data sharing page at https://almascience.nrao.edu/aq/?result_view=observations On the registration page, it failed because “The Internet Foundation” was not in your list.  That would also seem to restrict anyone from most of the Internet not in your list from registering.  There are roughly 5 billion humans with some

Twitter – space and earth based time of flight correlation imaging arrays

Physical Review D @PhysRevD Jun 23 The space-based detector LISA @LISACommunity will search for gravitational waves using Time Delay Interferometry variables. A new Suggestion shows that different variable choices than are commonly studied can perform better in non-ideal conditions. #EdSugg https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.123531 Replying to @PhysRevD and @LISACommunity Please also look inside the sun, inside the earth,
