Knots threads bundles fibers fabrics and useful experience to train your mind for hard problems

Please tell her that in physics knots, fiber bundles, threads, ropes and strings are growing in popularity. The reason is there are many phenomena at the quantum, plasmonic, and nuclear levels where the behavior and properties are best remembered and described using concepts from sewing and fabrics, and working with knots and fibers. Bundles of

Information, energy, power – optical and gravitational energy storage at atomic and nuclear scale

  Information, energy, power – optical and gravitational energy storage at atomic and nuclear scale Richard Collins:  How much orbital angular momentum can an optical vortex carry? What units would be suitable to characterize the energy stored in a vortex beam? Watt*Seconds / Meter^3 ? What powers and intensities are vortex beams capable of now?

Some people might find this conversation on the sun and gravitational energy density interesting.

Some people might find this conversation on the sun and gravitational energy density interesting. If one person likes it I think it will be a good day. Gravitational engineering. Things to watch for, ways to go.   https://chatgpt.com/share/6764ea24-8894-800b-87b1-4a044e281759   I like ChatGPT because it will withhold judgement long enough to get through the introduction of

Gravitational effects are small, literally. But much more powerful that electromagnetism.

Gravitational effects are small, literally. But much more powerful that electromagnetism. Gravitational effects are small, literally. But much more powerful that electromagnetism. So if you want to make bosons (pairs of gravitons) those bonds are stronger. Pretty much you only get something when matter and energy forms change.   It seems you want to make

Ilya Prigogine was only one of many. He did write about gravity. Nico Van Kampen

reply to https://x.com/curiouswavefn/status/1866536050090447050 Ilya Prigogine was only one of many. He did write about gravity.  Nico Van Kampen When I was at UT Austin and hanging out with Prigogine’s group, there were many others around him who were as or more inciteful. I suggest you spend time and study what Nico Van Kampen was doing

A rule that “data containers” and systems must credit and bidirectionally link the original developers.

A rule that “data containers” and systems must credit and bidirectionally link the original developers. Edward Mehr, Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights. Process and control systems optimization is critical to efficient global and heliospheric industries. When the methods are not refined and shared, individual groups might benefit, but reduce the potential of

Click applies to atomic and nuclear fuels and materials — to all things, not just click chemistry

“Click” applies to atomic and nuclear fuels and materials — to all things, not just click chemistry   The conditions for assembly have precision geometric and energy constraints, but once satisfied the pieces snap together every time. The interesting ones are those where the atomic energy stored can be released later. I have been calling

A “standard” not shared completely on the Internet is not a workable tool for global collaboration

Freya Blekman @freyablekman #CMSPaper 1338 describes a precision measurement of the production rate of the quantum carriers of the weak force, the Z and W bosons. These measurements allow comparison and improvement of detailed understanding of the strong force in the standard model https://buff.ly/3ZaS4kI https://pic.x.com/593sfmughe Replying to @freyablekman A “standard” not shared completely on the

Wu’s parity violation is likely magnetic for strong (MeV) and weak (KeV) isotope reactions

Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo  The Nobel Laureate T.D. Lee died recently. @yangyang_cheng wrote about Lee’s role in lifting science in China, and in bridging China and America. These magical years of 1980s! https://npr.org/2024/09/05/nx-s1-5092630/td-lee-legacy-perspective-china-physics-yangyang-cheng Replying to @zhigangsuo and @yangyang_cheng Thanks for sharing!
