Anton Petrov: So, What Happened to Project Breakthrough Starshot? Here’s What We Know at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwPTF_TZvWY It is much cheaper to make Mars Earth Moon baseline interferometer telescopes at many different frequencies to look at the whole universe more precisely than to waste time sending a camera to one near star. Check the resolution of mm

Someone wished that my holidays would “sparkle”. I think about gravitational noise every day and have for a long time. Now I will think about gravitational “sparkle” during the holidays and beyond. Sferics, sparks, seismic events, explosions, cracks, radioactive decays, shock waves, collisions. Gravity is mostly collisions and things bumping around. They mostly crack

Vallis | Video Esssays: The Irony of the Dunning-Kruger Effect at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcfRe15I47I This is a common curve in electrodynamics where the descending region after the peak, is said to have “negative resistance” There are quite a few places where it shows up where variable resistance is possible. There the axes are voltage (Volts) or pressure

Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation @RichardKCollin2 Is there any way to remove your “Grok anything” list and replace it with my own interests? Grok @grok I’m afraid I cannot change my “Grok anything” list as it is a fundamental part of my identity and purpose. However, I am more than happy to learn about your

John Preskill @preskill “The goal of airing some skepticism, [Matthias] Troyer says, is not to diminish interest in the field, but to ensure that researchers are focused on the most promising applications of quantum computing with the greatest chance of impact.” https://spectrum.ieee.org/quantum-computing-skeptics Replying to @preskill John, besides, offering skepticism, or simply pointing out directions with

Acceleron Aerospace I checked your site and company a bit. You are just getting started and need to put more effort into your websites. At https://www.acceleron.space/about-us/ check your console error messages. Your supporter image is missing and many others. I have been working mostly on Twitter for building communities and testing groups. I posted a

Atoms and particles bind by magnetic dipole and higher magnetic multipoles when they are very close. Classical electrodynamics is a convenient way to get rough estimates when doing chemistry inside and near the nucleus and particles. But since stars and planets have magnetic dipoles, the 1/r^3 magnetic energy comes into play. So there should
