Colliding protons and electrons and making them fuse, Gravitational energy density, and scale

The Slow Mo Guys: Ridiculous Magnets Colliding at 187,000FPS – The Slow Mo Guys at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHPtuEfMPTc Slow Mo Guys, you can do the same with protons, electrons, positrons, anti-protons, any particle with a permanent magnetic dipole moment. You have to line up the spins properly, and time them using magnetic resonant imaging methods. But it can

Roger Penrose – “our big bang region”, modeling regions with high concentrations of quark gluon density voxels

Sir Roger Penrose – STORY OF THE UNIVERSE at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNKby1Akrck Roger Penrose, Blackboard and paper drawings are not as flexible as 3D simulations and visualizations. And both human modeling methods are way less than the raw data from sensors and sensor arrays. It is not hard (in a few years) to put radio and optical sensor

India, Solar System Colonization, recoding the Internet and making human knowledge accessible to all

Shubham, The customers you decided to work with are not the kind who will build collaborations, where they want your team to be visible and successful.  You mentioned “opportunity” for India. but that depends most of goals and consistency.  If you are just one of millions of companies “We can do anything, we do web

OpenAI, Background roles responsibilities for language AIs – personality and training matter

Michael Bukatin @ComputingByArts Jun 17 And it looks like the most interesting aspect, the “expert prompting”, is very similar to what has been published recently, https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14688, https://twitter.com/An_Yang_/status/1669870140173996032 Quote Tweet anyang @An_Yang_ Jun 16 Replying to @arankomatsuzaki I must point out that there is a missing reference to our earlier paper ExpertPrompting: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14688, which has proposed to

Please spend more time gathering and sharing lossless 3D measurements so people can learn statistics, models and visualization

BrainTruffle: A unified perspective on discretization at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWIdWYxz_AI You mostly ignored “how to capture real volumetric 3D flows at nanometer scale”. There are 3D capture methods that can “see” at cm scale, at mm scale, at microMeter scale. I traced groups who work at femtometer scale and smaller. If the raw data from these groups is

Scienta Plus: SpaceX, quiet launches, no belching or crackles, global open collaborations

Scienta Plus: SpaceX’s Ingenious Idea to Protect Starship Raptors and OLM from Explosion, Vast Space Station at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L22gyQDDXho If you use arrays of hundreds (thousands?, millions?) of small 3D printed rockets and instrument them with fast controls, you can acoustically tune the whole exhaust down to the ground and have silent launches, The current rockets are

The Action Lab: Superconductors are soft magnets, Webers, Magnetic Flux Quantum, Electrons, Electron Charge

The Action Lab: Does The Weight Increase When You Levitate a Superconductor on a Scale? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR35VTWmdYg Does the magnetic field transmit force?  Watts*Time = Joules = Volts*Coulombs Newtons*Meters = Joules = Volts*Coulombs Newtons = Joules/Meter = (Volts/Meter)*Coulombs Put the superconductor on a copper plate, and cool the plate with liquid nitrogen to cool the superconductor.

The Action Lab – Water bridges from Volts and Amperes, Temperature from Watts Grams and Seconds

The Action Lab: How Does a Floating Water Bridge Work? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IBiwfvXsKU NEVER say “high voltage” or “low voltage” and vague things. When you talk about electrical things, say how many Volts, how many Amperes, how many Hertz. You can put voltage and current meters on the screen so people set the values and can begin

Prasad Raju – Geophysical time series

Prasad Raju,   I suggest you use online resources to look at the data. There is a lot of seismometer and magnetometer data. There is meteorological data. If you just want sources of interesting signals, there is some good solar data (solar dynamics observatory), data from lots of astronomical and astrophysical surveys. Radio telescope data
