Small experiments with outstanding noise – shared globally for learning and development

Richard K Collins All knowledge, All Languages, Experimenting, Global Open Resources, Gravitational Engineering June 5, 2024

Julian Stirling @stirling_julian I’m delighted to still be publishing papers almost 2 years after leaving academia to become freelance. This article is more of a “rant with references”, I try to tackle the problem of perverse incentives that prevent open science from flourishing. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2023.0215 Replying to @stirling_julian There are fundamental experiments that can examine fundamental

Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Plane Survey – Gravitation signals from many alien civilizations

Richard K Collins All knowledge, Atomic Fuels, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering May 14, 2024

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope,  If I were going to look at the Galactic Plane now, I would look for evidence of civilizations of two types.  The human species is going to produce intelligent machines. Their size and shapes and abilities are open. But in terms of human knowledge one very likely outcome is that human

Humans can colonize Milky Way Galaxy through intelligent devices, and search for gravity signals

Richard K Collins All knowledge, All Sky Cameras, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, Solar System Colonization May 4, 2024

Humans can colonize Milky Way Galaxy with intelligent devices, and search for gravity signals. — Galactic civilizations using intelligent devices can live billions of years. So the most likely “species” for human devices to meet would be intelligent devices. Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might look for intelligent messages in the galactic plane. And space

Eventually all the vacuum, quantum, noise and gravitational engineering groups will work together

Richard K Collins All knowledge, All Languages, Collaborative Model and Data, Gravitational Engineering May 4, 2024

Put the data from your devices on the Internet and share it live 24/7 with everyone in the world, so it is “all humans” not just “us”, then I will start to believe your words.   Archive the noise so it can be studied. You can get to where your systems are sensitive gravimeters, and

All “exact” models have to live in the real world, even Rapunzel had supplies and an early form of Internet

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Gravitational Engineering April 17, 2024

Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett An exact full set of matrix product states of highly degenerate tricritical Lifshitz points in the quantum spin model with anisotropic interactions has been discovered https://go.aps.org/3Q3Pxna https://pic.twitter.com/w22Em2B3EZ Replying to @PhysRevLett It only looks simple because you use simple potentials with no real world inputs. In the real world, every tiny cubic

Sub nanosecond flash 3D video sampling allows gravitational imaging, “imaging accelerometry”

Richard K Collins Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering March 28, 2024

I am interested in your “double exposure”. 200 ns would be 5 Mfps. Can you say which specific cameras from Imperix or elsewhere can support that? I am also interested in LWIR “thermal” camera for passive radiometry. Do you have anyone interested in camera interface standards? There are many cameras, and the cost of storing

Add diamagnetic gravimeter to the list of ways to make chip scale gravimeters and their imaging networks

Richard K Collins Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal March 25, 2024

Diamagnetic magnetic levitation at nanoscale is one way to make chip scale gravimeters. A “gravimeter” is an accelerometer that can track the sun and moon by their gravitational fields precisely. https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.13555   The three axis signal allows “gravitational GPS/GNSS” and “gravitational compass” in 3D. Array for imaging atmospheres, oceans, magma and interiors of things. After

Updating a link on Hackaday.io for Low Cost, Time of flight, gravitational imaging arrays

Richard K Collins Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods, Gravitational Engineering January 12, 2024

​https://hackaday.io/project/164550-low-cost-time-of-flight-gravimeter-arrays/log/208711-more-information-posted-at-researchgate-on-3-axis-gravimeters/discussion-195371 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Richard-Collins-16 ResearchGate canceled their project support last year and I managed to save some things before they erased everything. I had/have a few dozen followers and collaborators.  I have been working on many things and still many different designs and things related to gravitational imaging.  But I am not making devices, only checking components. Do you
