If you had lot of memory, cell phones with GPS, precision compass and lidar could stitch together what the humans see. And keep it in a measured 3D and time framework. No matter the trees, or paths

https://x.com/AloneHemant/status/1852757181927698686/photo/1 Assemble kilograms or metric tons of materials with bond energies averaging 10 KeV not 10 eV. There are many such stable materials with active containment. Asking for new fuels and materials to act like old ones is limiting the search for useful things. It just has to be reliable, practical, and useful. It does

https://www.facebook.com/reel/699390982355776 My Comment: What human cultures will survive too easily homogenized global society, solar system exploration and development? In the United States, and probably in many places, perhaps a lot of people do not know how to use, or the advantages of tatami. I can appreciate your skill and dedication. But in a world with

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1412120169086103/ My Comment: Effectively eternal species colonizing galaxies Once an evolved species can make AIs to store knowledge and act, those entities are effectively eternal and can “live” long enough to colonize galactic and larger regions. So, most galaxies might each have their own civilizations held together by systems, but populated by natural species as

I do not see any open shared data. A static website, a team of two. You are hiring people, looking for students to fill your classes. Promoting your papers. Nothing deep or serious shared about what you are doing, how it is pursued in the world, how it changes anything real. Being outstanding at the

Use the muscles that people have. With sensors and controls that need not be bulky or take a lot of power. My dream since my brother broke his neck 37 years ago. He was completely paralyzed and on a respirator, but none of his muscles changed. Just no way to stimulate them, take feedback and

@SETIInstitute Do you have your raw data archive in open format on the Internet? Not just your interpretation and software and methods. But the raw signals you felt would be worth listening to? I see some of your things on the Internet but where is the data stored? And do you have it in a

I am looking at Solar Dynamics Observatory images. During the year does the earth (and earth based telescopes) move above and below the ecliptic? Does the sub earth point of the visible center of the sun change in solar latitude during the year? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Yes, the Earth does move slightly above and below

I work on gravitational wave detection and imaging for fun. I studied physics and astrophysics at several universities, but then worked in international development and computer systems for organizations to make a living. I studied statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at UT Austin in the 1970s when Ilya Prigogine and Bryce DeWitt and Madame DeWitt were

“Papers and grants” at global Internet scale is not a fair and open system. It is not a fair and open marketplace. There is no fair review process. There is no oversight. There is no recourse when big bullies beat up little people. You are asking the wrong question and glorifying competition, when the really
