Comment to Astronomical League

I had to try several times to get the LONG captcha code right.  My eyes are really tired and it makes no sense.  Finally realized they were using case sensitive.  It failed because it was more than 1024 characters. Did they tell me there was a limit?  No.  Did they warn me that I went

Gravity Research Foundation Campaign, Gravitational Engineering, Simulating Gravity

Samir, Glad you noticed it.  Most of my messages never get answered or noticed.  I guess they mostly get treated as spam.  I try to not let it bother me. Your paper is online now.  I guess I was in a hurry to read it.  It has a really ugly URL.  It really needs to

Or crushing and dry separation, to get the fine enough particles that have the properties you want or need. And usually a degree of experimentation and learning to find the right sizes and properties that give different ultimate results. And some luck and

Comment on BriTheMathGuy This Sum Amazes Me Every Time – Covid, Internet, Math on the Internet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGcZDq2bmxM I turn off the sound, turn on the captions, set the speed to one quarter, and don’t look at you gesturing. Plenty of time and fewer distractions. Highly recommend using screen videos. Work out your presentation on the computer, record as you go. Explain the steps and move the pieces around yourself in real

Solar structure and evolution, some notes on a global model of the sun, open and universally accessible on the Internet

Joergen Christensen-Dalsgaard, You have described some of the pieces relevant for study of solar structure and evolution in words, pictures and pictures of equations.  The equations in the PDF are not in portable symbolic mathematical form.  The data from all the steps in the calibration of the model and its variations is not readily available.
