Observatories and big science must share with all humans, not just a few, 20%

https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1882723437590053099 The barriers to use any live or recorded raw data from observatories on the Internet are insurmountably high for everyone. A few 100 thousands insiders is not “everyone”, it is only a tiny fraction of the 8.2 Billion humans now. There are about 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet. About 2 Billions kids from

Gravitational Energy Density, KiloTesla MegaTesla, gravity, fusion – AIs need permanent memory

Gravitational Energy Density, KiloTesla MegaTesla, gravity, fusion – AIs need permanent memory I spend most of the time on magnetic and gravitational energy density, but what is holding me and most others up is OpenAI and other AIs lack of care in using Internet data for training, “not giving back”, and using memoryless automata, not

Gravitational energy density, iterative AIs with permanent memory, Fraunhofer thinkers

Full conversation : https://chatgpt.com/share/678e279d-1f10-800b-8e3b-54f383d2195a RichardKCollin2 said: How precisely is it possible to use an optical prism to measure the solar spectrum? Fraunhofer certainly did not have today’s expensive filters? What did he use and how did ht do it?   RichardKCollin2′ OpenAI ChatGPT Plus said: Joseph von Fraunhofer’s work on the solar spectrum, conducted in

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
