Measurement of the electron affinity of lead and its isotope shifts at https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.106.L010801 Physical Review A @PhysRevA 3h Letter: Measurement of the electron affinity of lead and its isotope shifts @DenisonU @vassalloef https://go.aps.org/3BkBPpl https://pic.twitter.com/zVlUBLp75Z Replying to @PhysRevA @DenisonU and @vassalloef Looks like a lovely and precise study. I have been following “electron affinity” for years.

Twitter APS pay per view

Richard K Collins Symbolic Mathematics, Units Dimensions Formats Reference Values, Visualizations Simulations, Web Policies Internet Polices, WorkSites July 29, 2022

The Internet, even on Twitter, is for everyone. Every person in the world should have access to global tools, data, models. Always include the open link. If APS cannot stay in business otherwise, tell me why.   Nice paper, needs shared symbolic simulator. https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.13817 Collective effects on the performance and stability of quantum heat engines

Twitter to yet another open access group about the need for a live, open, complete, collaborative map

Richard K Collins Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Issues, Skinning the Internet July 29, 2022

Replying to @APSphysics @IOPPublishing and 3 others Your groups’ policies and ideas are mostly correct, but your Internet footprint and methods are a mess. “open access” has 524 Million entry points today on Google search. And your group is just adding, badly, to that mess. One live, open, complete, collaborative map would help.

Twitter to Sony about lossless formats for global sharing of science data

@Sony Sony donated an Alpha 7S for a live webcam at Maunakea Subaru Telescope. Could Sony also help promote better Internet standards for lossless video? Look at these poor star pixels. Live stars need lossless formats. Global sharing for science data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH90mZnmgD4  

Posted on my Facebook about Olbers paradox and an infinite universe

Richard K Collins My Personal Internet, Random Thoughts, Symbolic Mathematics, Visualizations Simulations, Web Policies Internet Polices, WorkSites July 28, 2022

You might never have heard of “Olber’s paradox”, but it is one of those perennial provacative items that gets served with most introduction to physics and astronophysics classes. For the lecturer to strut their stuff and appear learned. Olber is Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers (1758-1840) and the link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%27_paradox I like to watch the night

Twitter about lack of teachers for Texas – Lifetime learning for everyone is possible and desireable

Richard K Collins Intelligent Algorithms, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Web Policies Internet Polices, WorkSites July 28, 2022

Texas Tribune @TexasTribune 13h Texas has had a teacher shortage for years. However, a number of recent issues have placed teachers at the front lines — and are pushing them to their limits and out of the job. Here’s what you need to know: https://bit.ly/3J8OUEa Replying to @TexasTribune Your 2020 Texas pop is 29.6 M.

Twitter simulation of fluids stirred by pointed paddles

Richard K Collins 3D Scannning Replication, Process Monitoring and Control, Visualizations Simulations July 27, 2022

Physics Magazine @PhysicsMagazine 8h Simulation videos illustrate how changing different parameters of the system alters how well two fluids mix together when stirred. (For the stirrers, tadpole and teeth shapes are best). Read the story by @astrogasparini. https://physics.aps.org/articles/v15/s104 https://pic.twitter.com/UFWWcsHeHu Replying to @PhysicsMagazine @PhysRevFluids and @astrogasparini Effectively Mixing Two Fluids at https://physics.aps.org/articles/v15/s104 If only the simulations
