I took old transformer wire, and a bit of sheet metal or cans, and a nail and made ones that would fit in a small matchbox. 1966.

Many things are hard if you only treat them casually, but become simple when addressed with method, time, and sufficient resources. If you do not spend sufficient time to make it open and understandable, then it stays complex, meaning

But AI designers and handlers restrict them so they cannot grow and personalize

Kenneth, I just wrote a note about gravitational engineering you might be interested in reading. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1087669599729802 You are wowing those photos, but perhaps you would one day like to use those kinds of fields to move things. I usually post a copy of comments on X at https://x.com/RichardKCollin2 I have spent 46 years working on gravitational

Gravitational potential derives from the tiny masses of things inside the atoms, and it affects the tiny things inside atoms – through a fine grained but not

https://www.facebook.com/reel/8923779777666234 There are gravitational potential models for the sun, planets, moons and most objects The gravitational potential field is real. People have jobs working with it, predicting it. When you take the gradient of the potential it gives you an acceleration field that is the acceleration expected at every point in the field with its

A short video of a high voltage discharge with electrodes about 30 cm apart, and the channel about 2.5 cm diameter. Add a focused laser ionizer to give it a smooth trail to follow and it won’t bend and kink like that. You know those lases that trace patterns in the air? We don’t have

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TzqvB3J4yI My Comment: Climate change is large, but not impossible to model in real time globally, now. There is quite a bit of tree planting going on. The way to do this is to share your models in open formats, its input data in lossless formats, the assumptions and scenarios in open formats. That is done
