Twitter simulation of fluids stirred by pointed paddles

Physics Magazine @PhysicsMagazine 8h Simulation videos illustrate how changing different parameters of the system alters how well two fluids mix together when stirred. (For the stirrers, tadpole and teeth shapes are best).

Nanofocused x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy – Data link broken thru DOI.org

Nanofocused x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy – Data link broken thru DOI.org https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.L032012 Fivos Perakis, I was reading your article and wanted to look at the data, but the link is broken.  And the DOI system form to report the error is also broken.  The DOI form appears but accepts no input. In the PDF: “The

Comment on Planck Temperature Video

The Planck Temperature – Absolute Hot: What is the hottest temperature possible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofzlBP6_5iw If you had a $Thank button, I would have sent you a donation to encourage you to keep going and work harder. You have the right kind of curiosity, but you need to keep digging and read harder papers. Tone down “strange”

Facebook has no “share” or “tweet”

Lisa Sykes Wallace There seems to be no way to Tweet (share posts with link and short note) on Facebook that I can see. But I found Pichurro’s Mexican Grill on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Pichurros-Mexican-Grill-100116482254910 Maybe you can post your picture on their Facebook page and write a short story to share with others who go

Twitter to @InnovationPhysics

https://twitter.com/InnovationPhys https://t.co/OFNXFJh4oi @InnovationPhys You are too focused on topics suitable for single person dissertations and individual performance. Need to coordinate and encourage solutions to global issues and opportunities. Answer “Where does this apply?” and encourage open global sharing of models and data.

Comment on MegaAmpere to MegaGauss- Using laser fluctuations to measure gravitational potential turbulence

‪This intro added 10 Jul 2022 in update to “Solar System Gravimetry and Gravitational Engineering ” Comment on “MegaAmpere to MegaGauss” – Using laser fluctuations to measure gravitational potential turbulence To generate intense fields to control the motion of matter. To emulate gravitational acceleration so precisely there is almost no error in position or other

Note on my Facebook page about gravitational energy density

For more than 50 years I have been trying to understand the gravitational potential. I used it for orbit determinations when I worked at my first job at the CIA, then later worked on a NASA project to determine the geopotential itself using satellite orbits and measurements to solve for the shape and properties of
