Military Affairs: US Tests Its Monstrously Powerful Laser Carrier To Beat Hypersonic Missiles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmN23S8GmWk For SpaceX type earth to orbit and orbit to earth field generators, many modular 2 GigaWatt units only have to store and deliver for a few minutes, so they can be small and if some fail, sufficient backup is available.

Dear SETI, Looking at the whole Internet, and the potential of true AIs to allow systems to essentially live forever, I realized that exploration and development of galaxies is likely the norm, not the exception in the universe. An evolved natural lifeform might well develop systems that record all knowledge and process it. The system

Faraday Paradox Solved! He was correct – the field does not rotate with a rotating magnet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl0-sKbZsKM It was hard to follow you. But I liked your emphasis on the D orbitals. Generally, there is a large range of “magnetic quantum numbers” and many situations where orbitals have unpaired electrons. The D and F orbitals

Fusion for SpaceX levitation, industrial and space needs. Global open tokens and global open resources I was reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitated_Dipole_Experiment today and encouraged. While the economics of bulk electricity production are not particularly favorable, there are many new transportation, industrial and space applications where GigaWatt and larger power modules are needed. For instance to

I randomly sample things on the Internet and often trace out business processes to see what companies are doing. Just now I was watching an Australian 60 Minutes about plastic recycling (lack of recycling) and at 6:39 it showed a dirty package of Skittles. I thought, “How hard would it be to send Mars Wrigley

Andrew Millison: How Farmers Reshaped a Region and Solved Drought at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79VUAFq2rbg Beautiful planning and vision. I hope you might help Bangladesh and India manage their floods with interconnected plans that look at water management, not borders. All the deserts of the world can be recovered and carefully monitored. But you will have to protect
