Nuclear and Atomic Data, effect of order of magnitude increase in precision on opportunities in global machine learning

Donnie Mason, I was just enjoying the graphs and data at NuDat 3.0.  I have been reading and using table of isotopes for over 50 years.  It is finally getting to where it is easy to use. I was looking at Q beta-, Q beta+ and Q EC for all the isotopes and the CSVs

Note to Bard about electromagnetic launch facilities using 3D field methods

I design an electromagnetic field launch facility that lift the Starship second stage to its mission height and velocity on the planned time schedule ( a few minutes). It completely eliminates or replaces the booster. More importantly it also can catch and gently set the returning craft back in its cradle. So the overall size

Twitter to European Space Agency Do not waste money on brick and mortar

ArianeGroup @ArianeGroup  Jul 21 Here’s how we think a museum celebrating all Ariane 5’s successes would look like. What would you like to see in it? #OneLastAriane5 #ArianeGroup #Ariane5 @Arianespace @CNES @esa @EuropeSpacePort https://pic.twitter.com/pvZlOXSDFv Replying to @ArianeGroup @Arianespace and 3 others Do not waste money on a brick and mortar museum few can visit. Rather

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

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

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”.

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

Global solar research models and data must be open, verifiable, and quickly accessible.

Halo CME @halocme  These supra-arcade downflows (SAD) (including tadpoles) tend to follow a very big eruption as we see them here. twitter.com/TrestanSimon/s… Quote Tweet Trestan Simon @TrestanSimon The eruption associated with today’s X-class solar flare was also associated with supra-arcade downflows, dark tadpole-shaped features that sometimes appear descending above flare arcades.

Ben about the gravitational potential, gravitational energy density, global collaborations

Subject: Found the derivation of the gravitational energy density in a workable form Ben, Most humans live in little bubbles and are only vaguely aware of the whole.  So global policies, issues and opportunities are made up by many billions of people acting independently.  Or for “smaller” policies, issues and opportunities – millions, hundreds of

China should create permanent stations in Moon orbit now and StarLink for the Moon, “First city ready for humans”

DongFang Hour:  China’s Plan for a CREWED Lunar Landing in 2029 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-KrMfIkDdg I would be much more impressed if they would send a permanent station to Moon orbit now, have some crew stay in rotations of a few months. Send rovers and instruments down to the surface operated by crew in orbit. Get Elon Musk
