The Internet Foundation Internet policies, global issues, global open lossless data, global open collaboration

University of Maine, Climate Change Institute, Climate Reanalyzer

https://climatereanalyzer.org/research_tools/monthly_correl/ I like your Climate Reanalyzer plots and downloads. I see codes in the sheets for the models, but I am not that familiar with all the abbreviations and acronyms. And it is not clear to me how 5 billion people using the Internet now can view, let alone interact with the models in meaningful

Richard Chats with OpenAI GPT4 about Wikipedia, democratization, global open internet policies, cookies

I am talking with OpenAI ChatGPT Plus 4.0 about  Wikipedia, all human knowledge, fairness, random surveys, Google, human based systems that are not open and verifiable, “democratization”, Internet policies, the role of AIs in human society and our future. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: I am doing a random survey of pages on Wikipedia.

Richard Chats with OpenAI GPT 4.0 about permanent synchronous stations over the sun, creating new challenges

I want observing stations near the sun to monitor it closely and continuously. Sunlight so close, might as well gather some into “atomic fuel”. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: The earth has a specific distance and velocity for “geosynchronous” satellites. What is the radius and velocity of a solar synchronous orbit for a satellite

Note to Joshua Patin about magnetic binding energy, the real “cold fusion”, and the gravitational potential

Experimental Cross Sections for Reactions of Heavy Ions and 208Pb, 209Bi, 238U, and 248Cm Targets, 2002 by Joshua Barnes Patin at University of California, Berkeley, Professor Darleane C. Hoffman https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joshua-Patin Joshua, I was looking for people working on fusion reactions using Scandium through Zinc, and found your dissertation, then some related people and groups. Your

Gravity images of the sun below the photosphere, Cameras and Memory Chips as gravitational detectors

Hi Athiray, I was just going to write you. I am reading about soft x-ray camera noise. “Performance characterization of UV science cameras developed for the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter” And now reading “Modeling charge transport in Swept Charge Devices for X-ray spectroscopy” I have been tracking the solar imaging groups for several years, and slowly

Comment on the solar “Streamer Belt”, NASA, MHD Simulations, MHDWeb in mostly inaccessible forms

“Global MHD Simulations of the Time-Dependent Corona” at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371786836_Global_MHD_Simulations_of_the_Time-Dependent_Corona Robert, I am reading “Global MHD Simulations of the Time-Dependent Corona” that you, Roberto Lionello, and Viacheslav Titov wrote. The links you have at the top “NASA Grant NNX14AH71G” and “Streamer Belt” go to a ResearchGate page that says projects are no longer supported. I managed

Comment to Dean Pesnell, Solar Dynamics Observatory about open lossless accessible data for global comparisons

Subject: Exactly how are the 4096_211193171 images made from AIA 211 193 and 171? 48 hour movies Dean, I am looking at these blended images, and they are helpful  But I would like to be sure I know exactly what goes into them and also be able to change the composition. https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/ https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2023/06/28/20230628_045709_4096_211193171n.jpg I asked

Richard Answers a question about zero gravitational acceleration, nanogravity, synthetic acceleration fields

Is there any space with zero gravity in the Universe? by Chinnaraji Annamalai, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_there_any_space_with_zero_gravity_in_the_Universe Richard: The gravitational potential fills all of space. The earth, sun, moon, planets all have their own potential that adds to this. The total potential from all masses in the universe adds to roughly c^2 =
